Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Verbund von mindestens vier Aufnahmekörpern. Vereinzelte Aufnahmekörper, die in Gitterbleche oder Trägerplatten einklipsbar sind, können beispielsweise der EP 2 570 234 B1 entnommen werden. Die Aufnahmeträger sind dabei lageorientiert an dem Gitterblech oder in der Trägerplatte, in dem eine Vielzahl von Aufnahmeöffnungen eingearbeitet sind, anzubringen.The invention relates to a composite of at least four receiving bodies. Isolated receiving body, which can be clipped into grid sheets or carrier plates, for example, the EP 2 570 234 B1 be removed. The recording media are oriented to the grid plate or in the carrier plate, in which a plurality of receiving openings are incorporated to install.

Zur Arretierung der jeweiligen Aufnahmekörper sind in die jeweiligen Aufnahmeöffnungen in den Gitterblechen oder Trägerplatten zwei U-förmige Einschnitte eingearbeitet und an dem von dem Boden des Aufnahmekörpers abstehenden Sockel sind abstehende Haltepfeiler vorgesehen, die in die Einschnitte oder Schlitze der Aufnahmeöffnungen eingesteckt sind. Durch Verdrehen des Aufnahmekörpers entsteht eine Relativbewegung zwischen den Haltepfeilern des Sockels und den Einschnitten in der Aufnahmeöffnung des Gitterbleches. Zusätzlich sind an den Haltepfeilern V-förmige Einkerbungen vorgesehen, zwischen denen das Gitterblech verläuft, so dass diese beispielsweise zwischen zwei benachbarten Haltepfeilern eingerastet sind und folglich der jeweilige Aufnahmekörper verdrehsicher in der Aufnahmeöffnung des Gitterbleches oder der Trägerplatte fixiert ist.To lock the respective receiving body two U-shaped incisions are incorporated into the respective receiving openings in the lattice plates or support plates and on the projecting from the bottom of the receiving body base projecting retaining pillars are provided, which are inserted into the slots or slots of the receiving openings. By rotating the receiving body creates a relative movement between the support pillars of the base and the cuts in the receiving opening of the grid plate. In addition, V-shaped notches are provided on the support pillars, between which the grid plate extends, so that they are engaged for example between two adjacent holding pillars and consequently the respective receiving body is fixed against rotation in the receiving opening of the grid plate or the support plate.

Die Aufnahmekörper werden üblicherweise im Kunststoffspritzgussverfahren hergestellt und stellen einen Massenartikel dar, dessen Produktionskosten möglichst gering zu halten sind. Oftmals ist der Außenumfang des jeweiligen Aufnahmekörpers an die Abstände der Aufnahmeöffnungen in den Gitterblechen oder Trägerplatten angepasst, so dass eine bestimmte Anzahl von Aufnahmekörpern an ein jeweiliges Gitterblech montierbar ist.The receiving body are usually produced by plastic injection molding and represent a mass-produced, whose production costs are kept as low as possible. Often the outer circumference of the respective receiving body is adapted to the distances of the receiving openings in the grid plates or carrier plates, so that a certain number of receiving bodies can be mounted on a respective grid plate.

Nachteiligerweise sind die vereinzelten Aufnahmekörper separat an das Gitterblech zu befestigen, so dass für deren Montage ein erheblicher Zeitaufwand einzuplanen ist, durch den die Bestückung des Gitterbleches kostenintensiv ist.Disadvantageously, the isolated receiving body are separately attached to the grid plate, so that their installation a considerable amount of time is scheduled, through which the assembly of the grid plate is costly.

Aufgrund der konstruktiven Ausgestaltung der Haltepfeiler mit einer V-förmigen Außenkontur weist jeder Aufnahmekörper eine herstellungsbedingte Trennebene auf, die die beiden positiven und negativen Formen vorgibt. Diese Trennebene verläuft in Längsrichtung des Aufnahmekörpers, denn die an dem Sockel angeformten Haltepfeiler behindern eine Auflösung der beiden Formteile voneinander in Richtung der Längsachse des Aufnahmekörpers. Es können folglich nachteiligerweise lediglich in Reihe angeordnete Aufnahmekörper in einem einzigen Spritzgussverfahrensschritt hergestellt werden. Diese herstellungsbedingte Vorgabe bei der Fertigung der Aufnahmekörper verteuert diese jedoch.Due to the structural design of the retaining pillars with a V-shaped outer contour, each receiving body on a production-related parting plane, which specifies the two positive and negative forms. This parting plane extends in the longitudinal direction of the receiving body, because the retaining pillars integrally formed on the base hinder a dissolution of the two molded parts from one another in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the receiving body. Consequently, it is disadvantageous that only receiving bodies arranged in series can be produced in a single injection molding process step. However, this production-related specification in the production of the receiving body makes them more expensive.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, den eingangs genannten Aufnahmekörper derart weiterzubilden, dass dieser in einer beliebigen Anzahl und einer nahezu beliebigen räumlichen Ausdehnung in einem einzigen Kunststoffspritzgussverfahrensschritt herstellbar ist, und dass gleichzeitig der Aufnahmekörper zuverlässig und verdrehsicher in einem oder mehreren der Aufnahmeöffnungen, die in das Gitterblech oder die Trägerplatte eingearbeitet sind, arretierbar ist, um sowohl die Herstellung als auch die Montagekosten zu reduzieren.It is therefore an object of the invention to develop the above-mentioned receiving body such that it can be produced in any number and an almost arbitrary spatial extent in a single injection molding process step, and that at the same time the receiving body reliable and secure against rotation in one or more of the receiving openings in the grid plate or the carrier plate are incorporated, can be locked in order to reduce both the production and the installation costs.

Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

Weitere vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Further advantageous developments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

Da mindestens vier Aufnahmekörper den erfindungsgemäßen Verbund bilden und gemeinsam in einem Spritzgussverfahren hergestellt sind, wobei der derart geschaffene Verbund von Aufnahmekörpern eine Baueinheit bildet, wobei mindestens einer der zylinderförmigen Sockeln an dem Verbund der Aufnahmekörper vorgesehen ist, wobei die Querschnittskontur der jeweiligen Sockel in Längsrichtung des Verbundes der Aufnahmekörper L- oder V-förmig ausgestaltet ist, oder wobei an dem Sockel ein L-oder V-förmiger Vorsprung angeformt ist, um eine Verrastung des Verbundes von Aufnahmekörpern an der Trägerplatte zu erreichen, kann ein Verbund von mehreren Aufnahmekörpem, beispielsweise ein Vielfaches von der natürlichen Zahl vier, in einer nahezu beliebigen Ausrichtung und Anordnung zueinander im Spritzgussverfahren in einer einheitlichen Form hergestellt werden und die Einrastung und Arretierung des Verbundes der Aufnahmekörper in das Gitterblech oder die Trägerplatte mit Gitterstrukturen oder Aufnahmeöffnungen ist gewährleistet.Since at least four receiving bodies form the composite according to the invention and are produced together in an injection molding process, the composite of receiving bodies thus created forming a structural unit, wherein at least one of the cylindrical pedestals is provided on the composite of the receiving body, wherein the cross-sectional contour of the respective base in the longitudinal direction of the composite of the receiving body is L- or V-shaped, or wherein on the base an L-shaped or V-shaped projection is formed in order to achieve a locking of the composite of receiving bodies on the support plate, a composite of several Aufnahmekörpem, for example, a multiple of the natural number four, in an almost arbitrary orientation and arrangement to each other by injection molding in a uniform shape and the latching and locking of the composite of the receiving body in the grid plate or the support plate with grid structures or Receptacles is guaranteed.

Aufgrund der V-förmigen Außenkontur der Vorsprünge, die an der Außenmantelfläche des Sockels angeformt oder angebracht sind, entsteht beim Einführen in die Aufnahmeöffnung, die in die Trageplatte eingearbeitet sind, eine Verrastung, durch die der Verbund der Aufnahmekörper an der Trägerplatte gehalten ist. Beim Einführen des Sockels in die Aufnahmeöffnung werden die Vorsprünge zusammengedrückt und schnappen, nachdem diese die Aufnahmeöffnung durchdrungen haben, in ihre Ausgangslage zurück. Dabei ist vorteilhafterweise der jeweilige Vorsprung als Teilringsegment ausgestaltet mit einem Öffnungswinkel von 1° bis 20°. Je größer dabei das Segment der Vorsprünge ausgestaltet ist, desto größer ist die Widerstandskraft, die von den Vorsprüngen beim Einführen in die Aufnahmeöffnung entgegengesetzt ist, bzw die während des Einführvorgangs zu überwinden ist.Due to the V-shaped outer contour of the projections, which are integrally formed or attached to the outer lateral surface of the base, is formed during insertion into the receiving opening, which are incorporated in the support plate, a latch, by which the composite of the receiving body is held on the support plate. When inserting the base in the receiving opening, the projections are compressed and snap after they have penetrated the receiving opening, back to their original position. In this case, the respective projection is advantageously designed as a partial ring segment with an opening angle of 1 ° to 20 °. The larger the segment of the projections is designed, the greater the resistance force, which is opposite from the projections during insertion into the receiving opening, or which is to be overcome during the insertion process.

Es ist besonders vorteilhaft, wenn die der jeweiligen Tragplatte zugewandte Schenkel der Vorsprünge eine gewinkelte oder gebogene Oberflächenstruktur aufweist, denn dadurch können die Seitenwände der jeweiligen Aufnahmeöffnungen der Trägerplatte optimal umgriffen werden, so dass der Verbund der Aufnahmekörper lageorientiert an der Trägerplatte fixiert ist. Diese Oberflächenstruktur der Vorsprünge weist dabei eine in Richtung des Sockels nach unten geneigte und etwa in der Mitte des Schenkels der Vorsprünge nach außen geneigte Oberfläche auf, so dass auch der Einschnappvorgang der Vorsprünge durch die entsprechend gekrümmte oder abgewinkelte Kontur der der Trägerplatte zugewandten Oberfläche vereinfacht ist.It is particularly advantageous if the leg of the projections facing the respective support plate has an angled or curved surface structure, because this allows the side walls of the respective receiving openings of the support plate to be optimally encompassed, so that the composite of the receiving body is fixed in a position-oriented manner on the support plate. This surface structure of the projections in this case has a downwardly inclined in the direction of the base and approximately in the middle of the leg of the projections outwardly inclined surface, so that the Einschnappvorgang the projections is simplified by the corresponding curved or angled contour of the support plate surface facing ,

Die Anordnung der Sockel ist üblicherweise an die Anordnung der Aufnahmeöffnung en in der Trägerplatte angepasst, so dass vorteilhafterweise durch lediglich einen Einführvorgang sämtliche Aufnahmekörper mit der Trägerplatte verbunden werden können.The arrangement of the base is usually to the arrangement of the receiving opening adapted in the carrier plate, so that advantageously by only one Insertion process all receiving body can be connected to the carrier plate.

Zudem ist es möglich, lediglich einen Sockel für einen Verbund von Aufnahmekörpern vorzusehen, durch den folglich der Verbund der Aufnahmekörper mit der Trägerplatte fixiert ist. Um ein Verdrehen der Aufnahmekörper, also eine Relativbewegung zwischen der Trägerplatte und dem Verbund der Aufnahmekörper zu verhindern, können entweder ein oder mehrere weitere Sockel an dem Verbund der Aufnahmekörper vorgesehen sein, oder es ist zumindest eine Verdrehsicherung an dem Boden des Verbundes der Aufnahmekörper angebracht, die in einen der Aufnahmeöffnungen eingeführt sind. Folglich kann der Verbund der Aufnahmekörper verdrehsicher an der Trägerplatte angebracht werden.In addition, it is possible to provide only one base for a composite of receiving bodies, by which consequently the composite of the receiving body is fixed to the support plate. In order to prevent a rotation of the receiving body, so a relative movement between the support plate and the composite of the receiving body, either one or more further base may be provided on the composite of the receiving body, or at least one rotation is attached to the bottom of the composite of the receiving body, which are inserted in one of the receiving openings. Consequently, the composite of the receiving body can be mounted against rotation on the support plate.

In Figur 1 ist eine Haltevorrichtung 1 zu entnehmen, die aus mindestens zwei aufeinander stapelbaren Trägerplatten 3 besteht, die mit Hilfe von vier Abstandshaltern 4, die in den Eckbereichen der Trägerplatte 3 angeordnet und dort befestigt sind, aneinander abgestützt sind. In die Trägerplatte 3 sind eine Vielzahl von Aufnahmeöffnunggen 5 eingearbeitet, in die jeweils ein Aufnahmekörper 2 bzw. ein Verbund von Aufnahmekörpern 2 einklipsbar oder einsteckbar ist. Der Aufnahmekörper 2 bzw. Verbund von Aufnahmekörpern 2 soll lageorientiert an der Trägerplatte 3 befestigt sein und durch diesen sollen vereinzelte Gegenstände 6, beispielsweise Schrauben, Muttern, Werkzeuge oder dergleichen gehalten und zu Transport- und Bearbeitungszwecken gelagert sein.In FIG. 1 is a holding device 1 can be seen, which consists of at least two stackable support plates 3, which are supported by means of four spacers 4, which are arranged in the corner regions of the support plate 3 and fixed there, to each other. In the support plate 3, a plurality of Aufnahmeöffnunggen 5 are incorporated, in each of which a receiving body 2 and a composite of receiving bodies 2 can be clipped or inserted. The receiving body 2 or composite of receiving bodies 2 should be attached to the support plate 3 in a position-oriented manner and by means of this, isolated objects 6, for example screws, nuts, tools or the like, should be held and stored for transport and processing purposes.

In die jeweilige Aufnahmeöffnung 5 können zwei gegenüberliegende Schlitze 16 vorgesehen sein, die mit dem Aufnahmekörper 2, wie dies nachfolgend noch näher erläutert ist, zusammenwirken.In the respective receiving opening 5, two opposing slots 16 may be provided which cooperate with the receiving body 2, as will be explained in more detail below.

Der jeweilige Aufnahmekörper 2, und dies ist insbesondere den Figuren 2, 3a, 3b sowie 4a und 4b zu entnehmen, besteht im Wesentlichen aus einem Boden 7, an dem vier senkrecht von diesem abstehenden Haltefingern 9 angebracht sind. Die Haltefinger 9 und der Boden 7 schließen einen von außen zugänglichen Raum ein, in den die jeweiligen Gegenstände 6 eingesteckt werden können. Zur Versteifung der parallel zueinander verlaufenden Haltefinger 9 können eine oder mehrere umlaufende Stützrippen vorgesehen sein, so dass die Haltefinger 9 gegenseitig aneinander abgestützt sind und daher weder nach innen noch nach außen abknicken können.The respective receiving body 2, and this is in particular the Figures 2 . 3a . 3b 4a and 4b, essentially consists of a bottom 7, on which four perpendicularly projecting from this holding fingers 9 are attached. The retaining fingers 9 and the bottom 7 include an externally accessible space into which the respective objects 6 can be inserted. For stiffening the mutually parallel retaining fingers 9, one or more circumferential Support ribs may be provided so that the retaining fingers 9 are mutually supported against each other and therefore can not bend inward or outward.

Zur Befestigung des Aufnahmekörpers 2 ist in dem Boden 7, und zwar gegenüberliegend zu dem Bereich von dem die Haltefinger 9 abstehen, ein Sockel 10 angeformt, der im Wesentlichen eine in drei Abschnitten unterteilte Mantelfläche aufweist.For fixing the receiving body 2, a base 10 is formed in the bottom 7, and opposite to the region from which protrude the retaining fingers 9, which has a substantially divided into three sections lateral surface.

Gemäß Figur 3b weist der Sockel 10 nämlich drei verschiedenartig ausgestaltete Außenkonturen auf. Im Bereich unmittelbar benachbart zu dem Boden 7 ist eine ringförmige Aufnahmenut vorgesehen, deren Außendurchmesser dem Innendurchmesser der jeweiligen Aufnahmeöffnung 5 der Trägerplatte 3 entspricht.According to FIG. 3b For example, the base 10 has three differently shaped outer contours. In the area immediately adjacent to the bottom 7, an annular receiving groove is provided, whose outer diameter corresponds to the inner diameter of the respective receiving opening 5 of the support plate 3.

Desweiteren besteht die Außenkontur des Sockels 10 aus einem V-förmig ausgestalteten Vorsprung 11 bezogen auf die Längsachse 8 des Aufnahmekörpers 2, die demnach einen ersten und zweiten Schenkel 12, 13 aufweist. Die in Richtung des freien Endes des Sockels 10 weisenden Schenkel 14 des Sockels 10 sind dabei kleiner bemessen als die dem Gitterblech oder der Trägerplatte 3 zugewandten Schenkel 13 im montierten bzw. eingesteckten Zustand des Aufnahmekörpers 2 an der Trägerplatte 3.Furthermore, the outer contour of the base 10 consists of a V-shaped projection 11 with respect to the longitudinal axis 8 of the receiving body 2, which accordingly has a first and second legs 12, 13. The pointing in the direction of the free end of the base 10 legs 14 of the base 10 are dimensioned smaller than the grid plate or the support plate 3 facing leg 13 in the mounted or inserted state of the receiving body 2 on the support plate. 3

Insbesondere aus Figur 3a ist ersichtlich, dass der Winkelbereich der derart ausgestalteten Außenkontur der Vorsprünge 11 an dem Sockel 10 segmentartig ausgestaltet ist und im Wesentlichen einen Öffnungswinkel aufweist, der kleiner als 20° ist, denn dadurch ist gewährleistet, dass beim Einstecken des Sockels 10 die vorhandenen Vorsprünge 11 durch die sich vergrößernde Querschnittsstruktur zusammengepresst sind und nach Art einer Verrastung in die Aufnahmeöffnung 5 der Trägerplatte 3 einklipsbar sind.In particular from FIG. 3a It can be seen that the angular range of the thus configured outer contour of the projections 11 on the base 10 is configured segment-like and substantially has an opening angle which is smaller than 20 °, because this ensures that when inserting the base 10, the existing projections 11 through the increasing cross-sectional structure are pressed together and in the manner of a latching in the receiving opening 5 of the support plate 3 are clipped.

Der dritte Teilabschnitt des Sockels 10 verläuft unmittelbar benachbart zu der Unterseite der Trägerplatte 3 und ist dem zweiten Sockel 12 zuzuordnen. Dabei ist wesentlich, dass die benachbart zu dem Sockel 10 verlaufende Schrägfläche des Schenkels 13 von innen nach außen ansteigt und etwa im Bereich des Randes der Aufnahmeöffnung 5 von innen nach außen abfällt. Durch diese gewinkelte Struktur des Schenkels 13 des Sockels 10 ist nämlich erreicht, dass der Aufnahmekörper 2 zuverlässig an der Trägerplatte 3 fixiert ist, ohne dass der Aufnahmekörper 2 wackelt oder verdreht werden kann.The third section of the base 10 extends immediately adjacent to the underside of the support plate 3 and is assigned to the second base 12. It is essential that the adjacent to the base 10 extending inclined surface of the leg 13 increases from the inside outward and drops approximately in the region of the edge of the receiving opening 5 from the inside out. By this angled structure of the leg 13 of the base 10 is in fact achieved that the receiving body. 2 is reliably fixed to the support plate 3 without the receiving body 2 wobble or can be twisted.

Aufgrund der Ausgestaltung des Sockels 10, an dem somit mindestens zwei gegenüberliegende Vorsprünge 11 angeformt sind, die die V-förmige Außenkontur aufweisen und folglich einen ersten und einen zweiten Schenkel 13, 14 bilden, durch die der Außenumfang des Sockels 10 in Längsrichtung 8 von unten nach oben zunächst vergrößert und ab einem bestimmten Abschnitt verkleinert ist, kann der Sockel 10 in die jeweilige Aufnahmeöffnung 5 eingesteckt und in dieser arretiert sein.Due to the configuration of the base 10, on which at least two opposing projections 11 are thus formed, which have the V-shaped outer contour and thus form a first and a second leg 13, 14, through which the outer periphery of the base 10 in the longitudinal direction 8 from below initially enlarged to the top and reduced from a certain section, the base 10 can be inserted into the respective receiving opening 5 and locked in this.

Durch diese Ausgestaltung des Sockels 10 entstehen keine Hinterschneidungen, so dass bei der Herstellung solcher Aufnahmekörper 2 ein Verbund mit einer beliebigen Anzahl und in einer beliebigen Richtung herstellbar sind. Gemäß Figur 6 kann nämlich die Trennebene des Aufnahmekörpers 2 derart gewählt sein, dass diese exakt in dem abgewinkelten Bereich des ersten und zweiten Schenkels 13, 14 verläuft, so dass die beiden Formteile 21, 22 in Längsrichtung 8 des Aufnahmekörpers 2 auseinander gezogen werden können. Folglich können eine Vielzahl von Aufnahmekörpern 2 in zwei senkrechten Richtungen in einem einzigen Herstellungsschritt aneinander angeformt werden. Der derart hergestellt Verbund von Aufnahmekörpern 2 ist dabei an die Gitterstruktur der Trägerplatte 3 angepasst, so dass mit einem einzigen Einklipsvorgang jedes der Aufnahmeöffnungen 5 mit einem Aufnahmekörper 2 bestückt werden kann. Folglich sind nicht nur die Herstellungskosten bei der Produktion solcher Verbunde von Aufnahmekörpern 2 verringert sondern auch die Montägezeit bzw. der Montageaufwand zur Bestückung der einzelnen Trägerplatten 3 ist erheblich reduziert, da lediglich mittels eines einzigen Einklipsvorganges die Bestückung der Trägerplatten 3 erfolgt.This embodiment of the base 10 does not create any undercuts, so that in the production of such receiving body 2 a composite with any number and in any direction can be produced. According to FIG. 6 Namely, the parting plane of the receiving body 2 may be selected such that it runs exactly in the angled region of the first and second leg 13, 14, so that the two mold parts 21, 22 in the longitudinal direction 8 of the receiving body 2 can be pulled apart. Consequently, a plurality of receiving bodies 2 can be molded together in two perpendicular directions in a single manufacturing step. The composite of receiving bodies 2 produced in this way is adapted to the grid structure of the carrier plate 3, so that each of the receiving openings 5 can be equipped with a receiving body 2 with a single clipping process. Consequently, not only the production costs in the production of such composites of receiving bodies 2 are reduced but also the assembly time or the assembly effort for equipping the individual support plates 3 is considerably reduced, since only by a single Einklipsvorganges the placement of the support plates 3.

In den Figuren 4a und 4b ist gezeigt, dass im Gegensatz zu dem Verbund von Aufnahmekörpern 2 nach den Figuren 1 bis 3b, bei dem jeder Aufnahmekörper 2 einen derart ausgestalteten Sockel 10 trägt, lediglich ein Sockel 10 für einen Verbund von Aufnahmekörpern 2 erforderlich ist. Der jeweilige Sockel 10 ist dabei gemäß den Ausgestaltungen in den Figuren 1 bis 3b ausgestaltet. Um die Verdrehung der Verbunde von Aufnahmekörpern 2 zu verhindern, ist mindestens eine weitere Verdrehsicherung 15 in Form eines Zapfens gemäß Figur 4a oder in Form von Nasen 17 an dem Sockel 10 angeformt. Die Nasen 17 sind dabei mit ihrer Außenkontur an die konstruktive Ausgestaltung der Innenkontur der Schlitze 16 angepasst, so dass die Nasen 17 im montierten Zustand in den Schlitzen 16 eingreifen und durch diese verdrehsicher gehalten sind. Folglich kann der Verbund von Aufnahmekörpern 2 nicht mehr um die eigene Achse gedreht werden.In the FIGS. 4a and 4b is shown that in contrast to the composite of receiving bodies 2 after the Figures 1 to 3b in which each receiving body 2 carries a base 10 designed in this way, only one base 10 is required for a combination of receiving bodies 2. The respective base 10 is in accordance with the embodiments in the Figures 1 to 3b designed. In order to prevent the rotation of the composites of receiving bodies 2, at least one further anti-rotation 15 in the form of a pin according to FIG. 4a or in the form of lugs 17 on the base 10th formed. The lugs 17 are adapted with their outer contour to the structural design of the inner contour of the slots 16 so that the lugs 17 engage in the assembled state in the slots 16 and are held against rotation. Consequently, the composite of receiving bodies 2 can no longer be rotated about its own axis.

In Figur 5 ist gezeigt, dass der Sockel 10 aus vier Rastfüßen 10' gebildet ist, die zueinander beabstandet und parallel zu der Längsachse 8 des zugehörigen Aufnahmekörpers 2 verlaufen. Dabei sind an zwei der Rastfüße 10' jeweils einer der V-förmigen Vorsprünge 11 angeformt und an den beiden anderen Rastfüßen 10' sind zwei dazu gegenüberliegende Vorsprünge 19 vorgesehen. Der Abstand zwischen den Vorsprüngen 11 und 19 ist an die Dicke der Trägerplatte 3 angepasst, so dass die Vorsprünge 11 und 19 im montierten Zustand des Verbunds von Aufnahmekörpern 2 an der Ober- und Unterseite der Trägerplatte 3 anliegen.In FIG. 5 it is shown that the base 10 is formed of four locking feet 10 ', which are spaced apart and parallel to the longitudinal axis 8 of the associated receiving body 2. In each case, one of the V-shaped projections 11 are integrally formed on two of the locking feet 10 'and on the other two locking feet 10' are two opposing projections 19 are provided. The distance between the projections 11 and 19 is adapted to the thickness of the support plate 3, so that the projections 11 and 19 abut in the assembled state of the composite of receiving bodies 2 at the top and bottom of the support plate 3.

Die Rastfüße 10' gehen übergangslos in die Haltefinger 9 über und bilden demnach eine gemeinsame Baueinheit. Zwischen den Rastfüßen 10' bzw. den Haltefingern 9 können Stützrippen 20 vorgesehen sein, durch die die benachbarten Rastfüße 10' bzw. die Haltefinger 9 gegenseitig abgestützt sind, um den jeweiligen Aufnahmekörper 2 zu versteifen.The locking feet 10 'merge seamlessly into the retaining fingers 9 and thus form a common structural unit. Between the locking feet 10 'and the retaining fingers 9 support ribs 20 may be provided through which the adjacent locking feet 10' and the retaining fingers 9 are mutually supported to stiffen the respective receiving body 2.

Der Vorsprung 11 ist zwar in den gezeigten Ausführungsvarianten der Figuren 1 bis 6 aus zwei V-förmig miteinander verbundenen Schenkeln 13 und 14 dargestellt, wobei der der Trägerplatte 3 zugewandte erste Schenkel 13 eine abgewinkelte oder gekrümmte Oberflächenstruktur aufweist; es ist jedoch ohne weiteres durchführbar, den ersten Schenkel 13 als plane Anlagefläche auszugestalten und einen 90° Winkel zwischen dem ersten Schenkel 13 und dem zweiten Schenkel 14 vorzusehen, so dass die Außenkontur 12 des Sockels 11 L-förmig ausgestaltet ist.Although the projection 11 is in the embodiments shown the FIGS. 1 to 6 shown in two V-shaped connected legs 13 and 14, wherein the carrier plate 3 facing the first leg 13 has an angled or curved surface structure; However, it is readily feasible to design the first leg 13 as a planar contact surface and to provide a 90 ° angle between the first leg 13 and the second leg 14, so that the outer contour 12 of the base 11 is designed L-shaped.
