Schränkdeckel

German term or phrase: Schränkdeckel
Just a drawing, no other context. Some sort of cover as part of a radio housing. I assume the "Schränkbolzen" fits into it somewhere.
Thanks, Kevin

Explanation:
I can't find the term online, but I do believe the Schraenk part is related to beschraenken - to limit, restrict.

Kim, I think you were on the right track. I'm still waiting to hear back from the client on this. The caption on the drawing spelled it Schraenkdeckel, so there wasn't a typo involved, thus no Schrank.

agree  Dr. Fred Thomson: A "Schraenkapparat" is a saw-setting apparatus. Given the context here it must be "Schrank."

disagree  Wilhelm Pfiffer (X): "schränken" in general means to twist, it is not limited to saws although very common there.
