Vexbinding plate for the mechanical connection of several telecommunication devices arranged next to one another

The present innovation includes a connecting plate for mechanical connection of several side by side arranged communications equipment, in particular telephones, in pocket-shaped receptacles in the The bottom tray of the devices can be pushed in.

Such connecting plates are already known as mounting rails in which hooks are arranged in pockets engage the base plates, a printed circuit board is embedded in the respective mounting rail, which over Contact tracks and contact elements located in the devices establish the electrical and mechanical connection of the devices produces in a coupling process. However, such rails have the disadvantage that they are relatively expensive are constructed and are therefore not inexpensive to manufacture.

There are also connecting plates known, which with their long sides in formed by webs and in the recordings each laterally arranged guide grooves can be inserted, the connecting plate with recesses is provided, which enter into a latching connection with lugs arranged in the respective receptacle and wherein lying in alignment with these recesses in the edge area of which tabs are bent out, which are inserted in the Point the state away from the respective floor pan.

The task of the present innovation is to provide a further type of connection between two communications equipment

t to show the other than a simple and fast one Connection possibility also has the further advantage that the individual devices are in their connection area are protected from access by insects. 5

This object is achieved in that the connecting plate has at least one ridge which engages in a molded on the base tray bag-shaped receptacle that provided at least in the insertion region of the receptacle a resilient, connected to the bottom pan lobes \

The two telecommunications devices are fixed to one another by engaging a nose arranged on the bath tub in a corresponding recess in the connecting plate.

Another embodiment of the connection of the telecommunications Devices with each other can consist in the fact that the web itself of the connecting plate one of the contours of the flap has adapted cutout and enters into a snap-in connection with the flap.

The innovation is to be explained below using an exemplary embodiment.

The figure shows a connection in perspective between a box for telephones, not shown here, and the floor pan of a telephone set by means of a connecting plate.

A telephone device and a further communication device having additional functions are to be connected to one another quickly and easily. For this purpose, the underside of the floor pan 1 of the telephone device, which is only partially shown, in this embodiment has three pocket-shaped receptacles 2, 3 and 4, which serve to accommodate cut-free webs 5, 6 and 7 of a connecting plate 8. In the insertion area of these recordings, resilient laps | are on the floor pan 1 9, 10 and 11, the distance between their surface facing the floor pan and the floor pan when the connecting plate 8 is not inserted is such that it is less than 0.7 mm, ie the telephone has the required insect tightness.

I The floor pan of the telephone set still has |

a locking lug 12, which in the connected state of the remote]

Speech device engages with the further telecommunications device in a recess 13 of the connecting plate 8 and thus the final position of the two devices is fixed to one another. Even when both are connected Devices all have a tight gap to prevent the entry of unwanted insects.
