Die aus der vorstehend genannten Vorveröffentlichung bekannte Anschlussdose hat sich in der Praxis durchaus bewährt.The known from the aforementioned prior publication The junction box has proven itself in practice.

Mit dem eingangs genannten Stand der Technik vergleichbare Anschlussdosen sind grundsätzlich auch aus der DE 1 930 844 U, der DE 91 08 763 U1, der DE 44 33 443 A1 bzw. der DE 196 42 687 C2 bekannt. Alle diese Druckschriften beschreiben Rastmechanismen, die u.a. auch einem besseren Schutz gegenüber Manipulationen durch Unberechtigte dienen.Comparable with the prior art mentioned at the beginning Junction boxes are basically also from DE 1 930 844 U, DE 91 08 763 U1, DE 44 33 443 A1 and the DE 196 42 687 C2 known. Describe all of these publications Locking mechanisms, which include also a better one Protection against manipulation by unauthorized persons.

Eine gattungsbildenden Anschlussdose ist aus der Vorveröffentlichung WO 95/26 579 A1 bekannt geworden. Diese Anschlussdose umfasst eine Verriegelungskappe, die nach dem Aufstecken eines Anschlusssteckers an der Anschlussdose auf eine vorgesehene Abdeckplatte aufsetz- und verankerbar ist. Dabei ist ferner eine Befestigungseinrichtung zur Befestigung der Verriegelungskappe an der Abdeckplatte vorgesehen, wozu die Befestigungseinrichtung hinter- und/oder ineinander greifende Rastelemente umfasst, die zum einen abdeckplattenseitig und zum anderen verriegelungskappenseitig ausgebildet sind, und die beim Aufsetzen der Verriegelungskappe in ihre endgültige Verriegelungsstellung selbstätig so miteinander verrasten, dass ein zerstörungsfreies Entfernen der Verriegelungskappe unterbunden ist.A generic junction box is from the previous publication WO 95/26 579 A1 has become known. This Junction box includes a locking cap, according to plugging a connector into the junction box can be placed and anchored on an intended cover plate is. There is also a fastening device for fastening the locking cap to the cover plate provided for what the fastening device comprises locking elements which engage behind and / or interlock, the one on the cover plate side and the other are formed on the locking cap side, and which at Put the locking cap in its final locking position automatically lock together so that non-destructive removal of the locking cap is prevented.

Von daher ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung eine verbesserte Anschlussdose zu schaffen, die es ermöglicht, einen Manipulationsschutz grundsätzlich auch bei schon vorhandenen und/oder bereits installierten Anschlussdosen zu verwirklichen.It is therefore an object of the present invention to create an improved junction box that enables protection against manipulation in principle existing and / or already installed junction boxes to realize.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß entsprechend den im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmalen gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.The task is according to the invention in accordance with the claim 1 specified features solved. Advantageous configurations the invention are specified in the subclaims.

Erfindungsgemäß ist also vorgesehen, dass die Abdeckplatte nicht unmittelbar an der Anschlussdose bzw. einem dort ausgebildeten Montagering, sondern an einer zusätzlich vorgesehenen Adapterplatte befestigt werden. Diese Adapterplatte kann z.B. mit geeigneten Schraubelementen an der Antennendose befestigt werden. Die erwähnte Abdeckplatte kann nunmehr durch weitere Befestigungsmittel, vorzugsweise ebenfalls in Form von Schrauben an der Adapterplatte befestigt werden. Die Verriegelungskappe kann nunmehr nach Anschließen des Koaxialkabels dieses abdeckend und schützend an der Adapterplatte eingerastet werden. Die Verwendung einer Adapterplatte bietet zudem den Vorteil, dass die erfindungsgemäße Lösung auch bei herkömmlichen Anschlussdosen nachrüstbar ist, da für die erfindungsgemäße Schutzeinrichtung und der verwendeten Rastmittel lediglich die Verriegelungskappe und die Abdeckplatte sowie die Adapterplatte aufeinander abgestimmt sein müssen, und die gesamte Anordnung letztlich über die Adapterplatte am Anschluss-Gehäusekörper befestigbar ist.According to the invention it is therefore provided that the cover plate not directly at the junction box or one there trained mounting ring, but on an additional provided adapter plate are attached. This adapter plate can e.g. with suitable screw elements on the Antenna socket can be attached. The cover plate mentioned can now by further fasteners, preferably also in the form of screws on the adapter plate be attached. The locking cap can now Connect the coaxial cable to cover and protect it be snapped onto the adapter plate. The usage An adapter plate also has the advantage that the solution according to the invention even with conventional junction boxes can be retrofitted since for the invention Protective device and the locking means used only the locking cap and the cover plate as well as the Adapter plate must be coordinated, and the entire arrangement ultimately via the adapter plate on Connection housing body is attachable.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist dabei die Abdeckplatte auch bezüglich ihres Verriegelungsmechanismus rund ausgebildet, d.h. so ausgebildet, dass die Verriegelungskappe um eine zur Anschlusssteckdose bevorzugt senkrecht stehende Achse verdreht werden kann. Dies ermöglicht auch, dass die Abdeckplatte beispielsweise nicht kreisförmig gestaltet sein kann und dabei drehfest an der Antennendose angebracht ist. Wird dabei ferner das angeschlossene Koaxialkabel über einen Winkelstecker an der Anschlusssteckdose angeschlossen und damit das Anschlusskabel quasi radial zum Koaxialstecker der Anschlusssteckdose hingeführt, so kann bei Einleitung von Zugkräften und Verdrehen des angeschlossenen Kabels die Verriegelungskappe diese Drehbewegung mit vollführen.In a particularly preferred embodiment the cover plate also with regard to its locking mechanism round, i.e. trained so that the Locking cap preferred to a connection socket vertical axis can be rotated. This also allows the cover plate for example cannot be circular and non-rotatable is attached to the antenna socket. It will also connected coaxial cable via an angled plug the connection socket and thus the connection cable quasi radial to the coaxial plug of the connection socket can lead to the introduction of Tensile forces and twisting of the connected cable Lock cap carry out this rotary movement with.

Durch die zuletzt genannte Ausführungsform ergibt sich zudem der weitere Vorteil, dass in Axialrichtung des angeschlossenen Koaxialkabels eingeleitete Zugkräfte quasi radial an dem Koaxialstecker bzw. der koaxialen Steckverbindung der Anschlussdose angreifen und deshalb nicht zu einer Abziehbewegung des Koaxialkabels führen können.The latter embodiment results also the further advantage that in the axial direction of the connected Coaxial cable introduced tensile forces quasi radially on the coaxial connector or the coaxial connector attack the junction box and therefore not to pull the coaxial cable.

In Figur 1 ist eine Verkabelungssituation in einem Haus dargestellt, wobei üblicherweise in dem strichliert (Linie 2) angrenzenden Verantwortungsbereich eines Netzbetreibers eine koaxiale Leitung 1 zu einer Anschlussdose 3' geführt ist.In Figure 1 is a wiring situation in a house shown, usually in the dashed (line 2) adjacent area of responsibility of a network operator a coaxial line 1 led to a junction box 3 ' is.

An dieser Anschlussdose kann dann über ein koaxialen Anschlusskabel 7 ein Zuschaltgerät 9 (NTU) angeschlossen sein, welches Anschlüsse zum Anschluss eines Fernsehers 11 und eines Radios 13 aufweist. Dieser Anschluss wird nicht von Teilnehmern verwaltet.This connection box can then be connected via a coaxial connection cable 7 a switching device 9 (NTU) connected be which connections for connecting a television 11 and a radio 13. This connection will not managed by participants.

Die erwähnten Anschlüsse 11' bis 15' zum Anschluss des Fernsehgerätes und des Radios können vom Benutzer verwaltet werden, d.h. der Benutzer kann hier die entsprechenden Koaxialkabel selbst anschließen.The mentioned connections 11 'to 15' for connecting the TV and radio can be managed by the user become, i.e. the user can do the appropriate here Connect the coaxial cable yourself.

Andererseits sind in Figur 1 längs der strichlierten Linie 2 jene Bereiche gekennzeichnet, für die ein Netzbetreiber üblicherweise zuständig ist und die vor Manipulationen und unberechtigten Eingriff durch einen Benutzer oder Teilnehmer geschützt werden sollen. Von daher sind die Anschlüsse 17' des Kabelmodems an dem Zuschaltegerät 9 wie die entsprechenden Anschlüsse der koaxialen Anschlusskabel 7 an dem Zusatzgerät 9, aber auch an der Anschlussdose 3 vor unberechtigten Eingriffen zu schützen (worauf nachfolgend eingegangen wird).On the other hand, in Figure 1 along the dashed line 2 marked those areas for which a network operator is usually responsible and that against manipulation and unauthorized intervention by a user or participant should be protected. Hence the connections 17 'of the cable modem on the connecting device 9 as the corresponding ones Connections of the coaxial connection cable 7 the additional device 9, but also on the junction box 3 to protect against unauthorized interventions (which follows is received).

Wie aus den Zeichnungen zu ersehen ist, ist eine Anschlussdose 3 üblicherweise so ausgebildet, dass sie als Unterputzdose montiert werden kann. Bekanntermaßen weisen derartige Anschlussdosen 3 einen Anschluss-Gehäusekörper 4 mit einem Montagering oder Montagerand 25 auf, der in bekannter Weise in Umfangsrichtung versetzt liegende und teilkreisförmig gekrümmt verlaufende Umfangsschlitze 27 aufweist, die an einem Schlitzende in Bohrungen 29 münden oder enden, die einen größeren Bohrdurchmesser als die Breite der Umfangsschlitze 27 aufweisen. Dadurch kann unter Verwendung von Schrauben eine Antennendose 3 mit ihrem Montagerand 25 in einem Gehäuse oder Unterputzgehäuse 33 eingesetzt und fest verankert werden.As can be seen from the drawings, there is a junction box 3 usually designed to function as Flush-mounted box can be installed. Known to show such junction boxes 3 a connector housing body 4 with a mounting ring or mounting edge 25, which in known manner in the circumferential direction and circumferential slots 27 which are curved in a partially circular shape has, which open into a slot end in bores 29 or ends that have a larger drilling diameter than that Have width of the circumferential slots 27. This can using screws an antenna socket 3 with their mounting edge 25 in a housing or flush-mounted housing 33 used and firmly anchored.

Ferner ist im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ein Adapter 35 vorgesehen, der einen mittleren, einen freien Durchgang erlaubenden, im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ringförmig gestalteten Mittelabschnitt 37 und zumindest zwei gegenüberliegende Befestigungsabschnitte 39 aufweist. Dieser Mittelabschnitt 37 umrahmt eine zentrale Mittelöffnung 38. In den erwähnten Befestigungsabschnitten sind Bohrungen 41 vorgesehen, um nach dem Aufsetzen des Adapters auf den Montagerand 25 einer Anschlussdose durch Eindrehen von Schrauben 43 diesen Adapter 35 am Montagering 25 und damit an der Anschlussdose fest zu verankern. Dabei werden Schrauben verwendet, die bevorzugt auf die Bohrung 29 im Montagerand 25 abgestimmt sind, so dass durch Eindrehen der Schrauben 43 in diese Bohrung 29 eine feste Verankerung des Adapters 35 am Montagerand 25 und damit an der Anschlussdose gewährleistet werden kann.Furthermore, in the exemplary embodiment shown there is an adapter 35 provided a middle, a free passage allowing, in the embodiment shown ring-shaped designed middle section 37 and at least two opposite Has fastening sections 39. This Central section 37 frames a central central opening 38. Bores 41 are in the fastening sections mentioned provided to be placed on the Mounting edge 25 of a junction box by screwing in Screw 43 this adapter 35 on the mounting ring 25 and thus to be firmly anchored to the junction box. In doing so Screws used, preferably on the bore 29 in Mounting edge 25 are matched so that by screwing the screws 43 in this bore 29 are firmly anchored of the adapter 35 on the mounting edge 25 and thus on the Junction box can be guaranteed.

Schließlich ist auch eine Abdeckplatte 45 vorgesehen, die entsprechend der Form und Dimension an Form und Größe des Gehäuses 33 der Anschlusssteckdose angepasst sein kann. Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist auch diese Abdeckplatte 45 im wesentlichen rechteckförmig, d.h. quadratisch, gebildet und weist auf ihrer Oberseite 45' eine entsprechende Vertiefung 47 mit einer zentralen Mittelöffnung 49 auf. Finally, a cover plate 45 is also provided according to the shape and dimension of the shape and size of the Housing 33 of the outlet can be adapted. in the The embodiment shown is also this cover plate 45 substantially rectangular, i.e. square, formed and has a corresponding on its top 45 ' Indentation 47 with a central central opening 49.

In dieser Vertiefung 47 sind den Umfangsschlitzen 27 mit den Bohrungen 29 im Montagerand 25 entsprechende teilkreisförmige Umfangsschlitze 51 vorgesehen, die in Bohrungen 53 enden. Die Breite der Umfangsschlitze 51 und die Bohrungen 53 sind auf einen entsprechenden Durchmesser des Gewindeansatzes weiterer Schrauben 55 angepasst, die an dafür vorgesehene Bohrungen 57 im Adapter 35 eingedreht werden können.The circumferential slots 27 are also in this recess 47 corresponding to the holes 29 in the mounting edge 25 part-circular Circumferential slots 51 provided in the holes 53 ends. The width of the circumferential slots 51 and Bores 53 are of a corresponding diameter Threaded approach adjusted further screws 55, the bores 57 provided for this purpose are screwed into the adapter 35 can be.

Wie aus der Darstellung gemäß den Figuren 4, 5 und 8 ersichtlich ist, kann nach vorher erfolgter Montage des Adapters 35 nunmehr die Abdeckplatte 45 auf die noch offene Anschlussdose aufgesetzt werden. Wenn die Schrauben 55 am Adapter 35 schon vorher zumindest in einer Teillänge eingedreht wurden, greifen die entsprechenden Schraubenköpfe 55' durch die Bohrung 53 hindurch. Dies eröffnet die Möglichkeit, die Abdeckplatte 45 anschließend leicht bis in ihre endgültige Stellung zu verdrehen, in der sie in entsprechender Ausrichtung zum Gehäuse der Anschlussdose zu liegen kommt. Dann können die Schrauben 55 festgedreht werden, die die Schlitze 51 in der Abdeckplatte 45 greifen und dadurch die Abdeckplatte 45 nunmehr fest am Gehäuse der Anschlussdose verankern. Natürlich kann die Abdeckplatte 45 auch dadurch befestigt werden, dass sie zunächst auf den darunter befindlichen Gehäusekörper der Antennendose aufgesetzt und dann die Befestigungsschrauben 55 an den entsprechenden Stellen eingedreht werden.As can be seen from the illustration according to FIGS. 4, 5 and 8 after installation of the Adapters 35 now cover plate 45 to the still open Junction box. If the screws 55 on the adapter 35 beforehand at least in part have been screwed in, the corresponding screw heads engage 55 'through the bore 53. This opens the Possibility to slightly up the cover plate 45 in their final position, in which they are in appropriate orientation to the housing of the junction box comes to rest. Then the screws 55 can be tightened which engage the slots 51 in the cover plate 45 and thereby the cover plate 45 now firmly on the housing anchor the junction box. Of course, the cover plate 45 can also be attached by first on the housing body below Antenna socket and then the fastening screws 55 can be screwed in at the appropriate points.

In Abweichung zu der Darstellung gemäß Figur 8 wird erst in diesem Zustand ein am Ende des koaxialen Anschlusskabels 7 angebrachter Koaxialstecker 59 an der Steckverbindung 61 der Anschlusssteckdose aufgesteckt. Als Koaxialstecker 59 wird im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ein Winkelstecker verwendet. Der Koaxialstecker ragt dabei aus der zentralen Mittelöffnung 49 der Abdeckplatte 45 hervor, wobei dessen Koaxialkabel 7 den Rand der Abdeckplatte 45 übergreifend weggeführt ist.In deviation from the representation according to FIG in this state one at the end of the coaxial connection cable 7 attached coaxial connector 59 on the connector 61 of the socket. As a coaxial connector 59 is a in the embodiment shown Angled plug used. The coaxial connector protrudes the central central opening 49 of the cover plate 45, whose coaxial cable 7 the edge of the cover plate 45th is led away across the board.

Schließlich kann nunmehr die in den Figuren 9 bis 11 ferner noch dargestellte Verriegelungskappe 63 aufgesetzt werden. Diese Verriegelungskappe 63 weist dabei einen radial verlaufenden Kappenausgang 65 nach Art eines Tunnels mit radialer Austrittsöffnung 67 für das herausgeführte koaxiale Anschlusskabel 7 auf. Ferner umfasst die Verriegelungskappe 63 an deren Unterseite befindliche und in Steckrichtung axial vorstehende Rastmittel 68 in Form von in Umfangsrichtung versetzt liegenden Rastfingern 69 auf, die also durch in Umfangsrichtung versetzt liegende Schlitze 70 voneinander getrennt sind. Die erwähnten Rastfinger 69 enden dabei in Rastabschnitten 71, die unter Ausbildung eines Stufenabsatzes radial nach außen vorstehen. Diese Rastfinger 69 sind in Steckrichtung mit einer entgegen der Steckrichtung keilförmig breiter werdenden Auflauffläche 73 versehen. Die Abmessungen sind derart, dass beim Aufstecken der Verriegelungskappe 63 die Rastfinger längs der gleichgerichteten Auflauffläche 75 an der zentralen Mittelöffnung 49 der Abdeckplatte 45 auflaufen, dort zunehmend mehr aufeinanderzu, also zur zentralen Mittellängsachse 77 (die nachfolgend teilweise auch als Zentralachse 77 bezeichnet wird) vorgespannt werden, wobei die Rastabschnitte 71 nach Übergreifen des Randes 79 selbstätig nach außen zurückschwenken, so dass die hinterschneidenden Rastabschnitte 71 am Rand 79 der Abdeckplatte 45 der so gebildeten Rastgegenmittel 78 anliegen und die Verriegelungskappe nicht mehr abgezogen werden kann. Finally, the one in FIGS. 9 to 11 can now also be used locking cap 63 still shown placed become. This locking cap 63 has one radially extending cap exit 65 in the manner of a tunnel with radial outlet opening 67 for the led out coaxial connection cable 7. Furthermore, the Locking cap 63 located on the underside thereof and locking means 68 projecting axially in the direction of insertion of locking fingers 69 offset in the circumferential direction on, that is by offset in the circumferential direction Slots 70 are separated. The mentioned locking fingers 69 end in latching sections 71, the below Form a step heel project radially outwards. These locking fingers 69 are in the insertion direction one widening in a wedge shape opposite to the direction of insertion Ramp surface 73 provided. The dimensions are such that when the locking cap 63 is attached, the Latching fingers along the rectified ramp surface 75 emerge from the central central opening 49 of the cover plate 45, there increasingly towards each other, i.e. towards the central one Central longitudinal axis 77 (hereinafter also partially called Central axis 77 is referred to) are biased, wherein the locking sections 71 automatically overlap the edge 79 swing outwards so that the undercuts Locking sections 71 at the edge 79 of the cover plate 45 of the locking countermeasures 78 thus formed and the Locking cap can no longer be removed.

Da in dieser Stellung die Befestigungseinrichtung der Abdeckplatte wie aber auch der Adapterplatte durch die Verriegelungskappe 63 überdeckt sind und darüber hinaus auch von außen her die Rastfinger 69 aus ihrer verrasteten Sperrlage nicht in ein Abziehen der Verriegelungskappe erlaubender Weise zusammengedrückt werden können, ist dadurch eine endgültige manipulationsfreie Verriegelung des koaxialen Anschlusses der Anschlusssteckdose gewährleistet.Since in this position the fastening device Cover plate as well as the adapter plate through the Locking cap 63 are covered and beyond also from outside the locking fingers 69 out of their locked Locking position does not result in pulling off the locking cap allowable to be squeezed is thereby a final manipulation-free locking guaranteed of the coaxial connection of the socket.

Sollten Zugkräfte quer zu dem radial weglaufenden koaxialen Anschlusskabel 7 auf dieses eingeleitet werden, mit der Tendenz, dass das koaxiale Anschlusskabel um die Achse des Steckverbinders rotieren will, so kann auch die Verriegelungskappe diese Verdrehbewegung problemlos mitführen. Denn die Verriegelungskappe ist gegen ein Abziehen gesichert, kann aber gleichwohl um ihre vertikale Zentralachse 77 mit dem koaxialen Anschlusskabel 7 verdreht werden. Werden jedoch auf das koaxiale Anschlusskabel 7 in Längsrichtung von dem Winkelstecker verlaufende Zugkräfte eingeleitet, so können diese nicht zu einem Abziehen des Koaxialkabels beitragen.Should be pulling forces transverse to the radially running coaxial Connection cable 7 are introduced on this with the tendency that the coaxial connection cable around the axis the connector wants to rotate, so can the locking cap easily carry this twisting movement. Because the locking cap is against pulling off secured, but can nevertheless about its vertical central axis 77 can be rotated with the coaxial connection cable 7. However, on the coaxial connection cable 7 in Tractive forces extending in the longitudinal direction from the angled plug initiated, these can not be deducted from the Contribute coaxial cable.

Ferner kann am Abdeckgehäuse eine an bestimmter Stelle in geeigneter Weise kenntlich gemachte Position 91 vorgesehen sein, an der beispielsweise die Gehäusewandung dünner ausgebildet ist. Durch Ansetzen und Aufschlagen beispielsweise eines Schraubenziehers kann hier die Gehäusewandung durchstoßen werden, mit der Folge, dass die Rastfinger nach innen so vorgespannt werden können, dass anschließend die Verriegelungsklappe 63 von der Abdeckplatte 45 abgenommen werden kann. Aber auch in diesem Fall ist durch die Durchstossung der Gehäusewand an der Sollbruchstelle der Verriegelungskappe nachweisbar, dass die entsprechende Dose unrechtmäßig geöffnet wurde.Furthermore, a can at a certain point in the cover housing appropriately identified position 91 is provided be thinner on the housing wall, for example is trained. For example, by applying and opening a screwdriver can be used here for the housing wall be pierced, with the result that the locking fingers can be preloaded inwards so that the locking flap 63 is removed from the cover plate 45 can be. But in this case too, the Penetration of the housing wall at the predetermined breaking point of the Locking cap provable that the corresponding Can has been opened illegally.
