Definitions

  • the invention relates to a multiple socket for power plug according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a multiple socket is known from FR 2 652 682.
  • Such a mounting bracket usually has a fixing leg provided with a number of openings for screws on that for fastening the multiple socket on a base for example a table top, is screwed on.
  • the mounting bracket is included either integrally formed with the side end part of the multiple socket, or lies as a separate mounting part that can be connected to the multiple socket in front.
  • Such mounting brackets are, for example, from US-A-4 735 577 and GB-A 2 087 198 are known.
  • the different spatial conditions at the respective location of the multiple socket make it necessary to have the multiple socket in different To fix orientations of their insertion surface with respect to the base.
  • For each of these mounting positions is usually a separate mounting bracket - or in the case of an integral solution, even a separate side end piece - necessary.
  • Multiple sockets must therefore either differ depending on the location can be pre-assembled or alternatively used when selling with a selection Assembly parts are delivered. This disadvantageously leads to one comparatively high material requirements, complex storage and comparatively high production costs.
  • the invention is therefore based on the task of mounting a multiple socket to improve.
  • a mounting bracket is provided, which in the different Mounting positions can be fixed on the side end piece of the multiple socket is.
  • a mounting position is characterized in that the mounting bracket tilted around the longitudinal axis of the housing with respect to any other mounting position is arranged on the side end piece.
  • the invention advantageously makes it possible to use the same Mounting bracket the multiple socket in different installation positions to assemble. Because only this can provide a universal mounting bracket is, the multiple socket can be produced in a material-saving and thus inexpensive manner become.
  • Another advantage is that a conversion of an already assembled multiple socket in a different installation position at any time without purchasing additional assembly parts, without great effort and is possible without opening the housing.
  • the mounting bracket is according to claim 2 with a connecting leg in the Side end piece inserted.
  • the mounting bracket in four mounting positions can be fixed to the multiple socket.
  • the mounting bracket is designed such that its contact surface is aligned with a surface of the middle part of the housing in each assembly position. In this way it is achieved that in each installation position a side surface of the Multiple socket lies flat on the base. This in turn does a good hold of the multiple socket on the base.
  • This arrangement represents a particularly favorable implementation of a Plug connection between the side end piece and the mounting bracket In particular, the central region of the Side end piece free for feeding a power cord of the multiple socket.
  • Inexpensive and at the same time stable is an embodiment of the Mounting bracket as an "L" -shaped sheet metal part.

  • This side end piece 7 carries one Mounting bracket 8.
  • the mounting bracket 8 projects beyond the housing 2 in the longitudinal direction with a fixing leg 9 parallel to the longitudinal axis L.
  • the multiple socket 1 To assemble the multiple socket 1, this is on a not shown Footprint - e.g. a table top - placed that the fixing leg 9th with a contact surface 10 touching the base.
  • the attachment The multiple socket 1 on the base is done by screwing. Therefore a number of openings 11 for screws are provided in the fixing leg 9.
  • Fig. 1a shows the mounting bracket 8 in an assembly position with respect to the insertion surface 4, in which the contact surface 10 is coplanar or in alignment with the Insertion surface 4 is aligned.
  • the contact surface 10 and the insertion surface 4 are not tilted towards each other.
  • the tilt angle is ⁇ so 0 °.
  • the multiple socket 1 for example, are concealed behind a panel, with a Mains plug through an opening provided in the panel into one of the Aperture facing slot 5 is inserted.
  • the multiple socket can 1, for example, be attached under a table top in such a way that the insertion surface 4 is aligned perpendicular to the base and thus to Inserting a power plug is particularly easy to achieve.
  • the mounting bracket 8 is around FIG. 1a rotated a tilt angle ⁇ of 180 °.
  • the contact surface 10 is in this Position shifted parallel to its 0 ° position and aligned with that of the Insert surface 4 opposite - not visible in Fig. 1c - housing bottom.
  • the insertion surface 4 is the base surface, not shown diametrically turned away.
  • Fig. 1d the mounting bracket 8 is compared to Fig. 1a by a tilt angle ⁇ rotated by 270 °. This is the 270 ° position in terms of its effect of the 90 ° position equivalent to. However, the one hidden in the illustration according to FIG. 1d is aligned Contact surface 10 with the side surface opposite the side surface 12.
  • the side end piece 7 shown only schematically in simplified form in FIG. 1 is shown in detail in Fig. 2.
  • the side end piece 7 has a rectangular one Cross-section that corresponds to the cross-section of the housing middle part 3.
  • a lying in the plane of the insertion surface 4 cover surface 20 of the Side end piece 7 is the housing middle part 3 facing End face 21 extended.
  • This projecting area of the top surface 20 carries on its side edges a parallel to the longitudinal axis L.
  • Guide groove 22 With the guide groove 22, the side end piece 7 is on a corresponding guide rail of the middle part of the housing (not shown in FIG. 2) 3 positively pushed on.
  • the end face 21 also bears A number of fixing pins 23 distributed over the circumferential area thereof engage positively in corresponding receptacles of the middle part 3 of the housing.
  • the connection between the middle housing part 3 and the side end piece 7 is secured by means of two screws in the bushings provided for this 24 are used in the edge region of the side end piece 7.
  • Fig. 4 shows a cross section through the side end piece 7 in the area of the constriction 25.
  • the constriction 25 is arranged coaxially with the longitudinal axis L and thus passes through at a distance parallel to the end face 21, the top surface 20, the bottom surface 28 and the side surfaces 29 and 30.
