Abstract
A connection device allows for mounting a control panel in a manner such that the panel projects from the front lower edge of a control apparatus. According to the invention, optimum adjustment of the control panel relative to the front of the control apparatus is achieved in that the connection devices take the form of angle plates which are assembled from two leg parts and can be set and secured in a plurality of angular positions about an axis aligned parallel with the lower edge of the control apparatus.
