Verteiler der vorerwähnten Art sind an sich bekannt.Distributors of the aforementioned type are known per se.

Dabei gibt es Konstruktionen, bei denen das Kunststoff-Gehäuse mit den Führungshülsen einstückig gefertigt ist. Ebenso gibt es Konstruktionen, bei denen die Führungshülsen als separate Bauteile aus Metall hergestellt und im Kunststoff-Gehäuse festgelegt sind.There are constructions in which the plastic housing is made in one piece with the guide sleeves. Likewise, there are constructions in which the guide sleeves are manufactured as separate components made of metal and fixed in the plastic housing.

Bei der erstgenannten Konstruktion besteht der Nachteil, dass vergleichsweise aufwendige Werkzeuge benötigt werden, um das Kunststoff-Gehäuse mit den einstückig angeformten Führungshülsen herstellen zu können. Ein weiterer Nachteil besteht darin, dass bei der einstückigen Konstruktion die Führungshülsen und das Kunststoff-Gehäuse im übrigen naturgemäß aus dem gleichen Material bestehen, so dass keine Möglichkeit gegeben ist, hier Materialien zu wählen, die den Anforderungen an die Führungshülsen einerseits und an das Kunststoff-Gehäuse andererseits im besonderen Maße entsprechen.In the former design, there is the disadvantage that relatively expensive tools are needed to produce the plastic housing with the integrally molded guide sleeves can. Another disadvantage is that in the one-piece construction, the guide sleeves and the plastic housing otherwise naturally consist of the same material, so that there is no possibility to choose here materials that the Requirements on the guide sleeves on the one hand and on the plastic housing on the other hand to a particular extent.

Bei der zweitgenannten Konstruktion besteht der Nachteil, dass die aus Metall gefertigten Führungshülsen vergleichsweise teuer sind.In the second construction, there is the disadvantage that the guide sleeves made of metal are comparatively expensive.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Verteiler der gattungsgemäßen Art aufzuzeigen, der sowohl leicht und preiswert herstellbar ist wie auch die Möglichkeit bietet, für das Kunststoff-Gehäuse einerseits und die Führungshülsen andererseits unterschiedliche Anforderungen erfüllende Materialien verwenden zu können.The present invention has for its object to provide a distributor of the generic type, which is both easy and inexpensive to produce as well as offers the possibility to use for the plastic housing on the one hand and the guide sleeves on the other hand different requirements fulfilling materials.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Führungshülsen jeweils als einstückige Bauteile aus Kunststoff gefertigt und im Kunststoff-Gehäuse festgelegt sind.This object is achieved in that the guide sleeves are each made as one-piece components made of plastic and fixed in the plastic housing.

Die Führungshülsen sind somit ebenso wie das Kunststoff-Gehäuse aus Kunststoff gefertigt, wobei für die genannten Bauteile durchaus unterschiedliche Materialien verwendet werden können.The guide sleeves are thus made as well as the plastic housing made of plastic, with quite different materials can be used for the aforementioned components.

Das Kunststoff-Gehäuse kann aus einem Material gefertigt werden, welches die speziellen Anforderungen an das Kunststoff-Gehäuse in idealer Weise erfüllt. Das gleiche gilt für die Führungshülsen, wobei hier durchaus andere Anforderungen vorliegen können, so dass für die Herstellung der Führungshülsen entsprechend andere Materialien Verwendung finden können.The plastic housing can be made of a material that meets the special requirements of the plastic housing in an ideal way. The same applies to the guide sleeves, in which case other requirements may be present, so that correspondingly different materials can be used for the production of the guide sleeves.

Nach einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Führungshülsen kraftschlüssig, insbesondere über einen Presssitz im Kunststoff-Gehäuse festgelegt sind.According to a development of the invention it is provided that the guide sleeves are fixed non-positively, in particular via a press fit in the plastic housing.

Selbstverständlich sind auch andere Befestigungsmöglichkeiten denkbar, z. B. können die Führungshülsen auch formschlüssig oder stoffschlüssig im Kunststoff-Gehäuse festgelegt werden.Of course, other mounting options are conceivable, for. B., the guide sleeves can also be fixed positively or cohesively in the plastic housing.

Die Führungshülsen sind an einem stirnseitigen Ende mit mindestens einem axial verlaufenden Ausschnitt versehen, in den jeweils ein radial vorstehender Ausleger eines Kontakteinsatzes formschlüssig eingreift.The guide sleeves are provided at one end face with at least one axially extending cutout, in each of which a radially projecting arm of a contact insert engages in a form-fitting manner.

Hierdurch wird eine Verdrehsicherung zwischen dem jeweiligen Kontakteinsatz und der jeweils zugeordneten Führungshülse erzielt.As a result, an anti-rotation between the respective contact insert and the respective associated guide sleeve is achieved.

Die Führungshülsen können -wie an sich bekannt- mit einem Innengewinde, vorzugsweise einem metrischen Innengewinde, versehen sein.The guide sleeves can -as known per se-be provided with an internal thread, preferably a metric internal thread.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in den beigefügten Zeichnungen dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher beschrieben.An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings and will be described in more detail below.
