Abstract
A housing for receiving electrical components, having a housing body with two lateral walls, a bottom and a cover, wherein a handle arrangement with at least one handle is fastened on the exterior of the housing body. The handle has a base handle element with end pieces on both ends, to each of which a fastening element is connected. The fastening elements are connected with the housing body. In order to provide a visually pleasant connecting device between the base handle element and the fastening elements, wherein simultaneously diverse handle design variations can be created in a simple way with small constructive outlay, the base handle element is designed as a curved or straight pipe section. Clamping pieces of the fastening elements are inserted into the pipe section through open ends of the end pieces. The clamping pieces have an adjusting member, which can be adjusted with respect to the clamping piece by a fastening arrangement. The clamping piece is held, braced against the interior cross section of the pipe section, by the adjusting member and the fastening arrangement.
