Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Etagenanschlussklemmenanordnung.
Eine Etagenanschlussklemmenanordnung weist üblicherweise zwei oder mehr aneinander gereiht angeordnete Etagenanschlussklemmen auf, wobei jede Etagenanschlussklemme, welche auch als Reihenklemme bezeichnet werden kann, zwei oder mehr übereinander angeordnete Anschlussbereiche zum Anschließen elektrischer Leiter aufweist. Um zu markieren, welche Leiter in welche Anschlussbereiche eingeführt werden sollen, ist es bekannt, die Etagenanschlussklemmenanordnung mit einer Kennzeichnung zu versehen. Hierbei werden meist deckelförmige Ausgestaltungen eingesetzt, welche auf die Etagenanschlussklemmenanordnung aufgesetzt werden können, um die jeweiligen Anschlussbereiche zu kennzeichnen. Nachteilig hierbei ist jedoch der große Platzbedarf dieser zusätzlichen Deckel, wodurch der gesamte Platzbedarf einer Etagenanschlussklemmenanordnung erhöht wird, da ein derartiger Deckel sich üblicherweise über die gesamte Länge der Etagenanschlussklemmenanordnung und damit über alle in einer Reihe hintereinander angeordneter Etagenanschlussklemmen hinweg erstreckt. Ein entsprechender Deckel, welcher sich über mehrere Etagenanschlussklemmen hinweg erstreckt, kann beispielsweise an einer Oberseite der Etagenanschlussklemmen befestigt werden. In der Patentschrift DE102006053352 B3 ist ein Anschlussverteiler offenbart, welcher, zusätzlich zu seinen aneinander gereiht angeordneten Anschlussverteiler-Gehäusen, ein Gehäuse mit Beschriftungen aufweist. Zur Beschriftung der Anschlüsse des Anschlussverteilers wird ein zusätzliches Gehäuse eingesetzt, welches ebenso wie die Anschlussverteiler-Gehäuse auf der Tragschiene aufgerastet werden muss. In der Offenlegungsschrift DE3524658 A1 ist ein beschrifteter Abdeckstreifen offenbart, welcher an einem mehrere Anschlusselemente aufweisenden Verteilerbauteil lösbar befestigt werden kann. An jedem Verteilerbauteil ist jeweils ein Abdeckstreifen derart angeordnet dass er überlappend mit einer Seitenfläche des Verteilerbauteils angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a floor terminal assembly.
A tier connection terminal arrangement usually has two or more tiered terminals arranged in a row, each tier terminal, which can also be referred to as a terminal block, having two or more terminal areas arranged one above the other for connecting electrical conductors. In order to mark which conductors are to be inserted into which connection areas, it is known to provide the floor connection terminal arrangement with an identification. In this case, mostly lid-shaped configurations are used, which can be placed on the floor connection terminal arrangement in order to identify the respective connection areas. The disadvantage here, however, is the large space requirement of these additional cover, whereby the entire space requirement of a floor terminal assembly is increased, since such a cover usually extends over the entire length of the floor connection terminal assembly and thus over all in a series of successively arranged floor connection terminals away. A corresponding cover, which extends over several floor connection terminals, can be fastened, for example, to an upper side of the floor connection terminals. In the patent DE102006053352 B3 discloses a terminal distributor which, in addition to its juxtaposed terminal distribution housings, has a housing with labels. For labeling the connections of the connection distributor, an additional housing is used, which must be snapped onto the mounting rail as well as the connection distributor housing. In the published patent application DE3524658 A1 a labeled cover strip is disclosed, which can be releasably secured to a manifold having a plurality of connection elements. At each distributor component, a cover strip is in each case arranged such that it is arranged overlapping with a side surface of the distributor component.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Etagenanschlussklemmenanordnung zur Verfügung zu stellen, bei welcher der Platzbedarf einer Kennzeichnung der Etagenanschlussklemmenanordnung und damit der Platzbedarf der gesamten Etagenanschlussklemmenanordnung reduziert werden kann.The invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a floor terminal assembly available, in which the space requirement of a marking of the floor terminal assembly and thus the space requirement the entire floor terminal assembly can be reduced.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit den Merkmalen des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen und vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved with the features of independent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

Die Etagenanschlussklemmenanordnung gemäß der Erfindung weist mindestens zwei aneinander gereiht angeordnete Etagenanschlussklemmen auf, wobei jede Etagenanschlussklemme an einer ihrer Querseiten mindestens zwei übereinander angeordnete Anschlussbereiche aufweist. Ferner weist die Etagenanschlussklemmenanordnung gemäß der Erfindung mindestens ein lösbar befestigbares Markierungsschild auf, wobei in einem befestigten Zustand des Markierungsschildes sich das Markierungsschild zumindest bereichsweise entlang einer Querseite mindestens einer der Etagenanschlussklemmen entlang der mindestens zwei übereinander angeordneten Anschlussbereiche erstreckt.The tier connection terminal arrangement according to the invention has at least two tiered terminals arranged in a row, each tier terminal having at least two terminal areas arranged one above the other at one of its transverse sides. Furthermore, the tier connection terminal arrangement according to the invention has at least one releasably attachable marker plate, wherein in a fixed state of the marker shield the marker shield extends at least partially along a transverse side of at least one of the tier connection terminals along the at least two terminal areas arranged one above the other.

Die erfindungsgemäße Etagenanschlussklemmenanordnung zeichnet sich nunmehr insbesondere dadurch aus, dass zur Kennzeichnung der Anschlussbereiche mindestens ein, vorzugsweise zwei oder mehr Markierungsschilder an der Etagenanschlussklemmenanordnung lösbar befestigt werden können, wobei in einem befestigten Zustand des Markierungsschildes, das heißt wenn das Markierungsschild lösbar an der Etagenanschlussklemmenanordnung befestigt ist, sich das Markierungsschild nicht über die gesamte Länge der Etagenanschlussklemmenanordnung erstreckt, sondern sich das Markierungsschild entlang einer Querseite mindestens einer der Etagenanschlussklemmen erstreckt, wobei die Querseite die Seite einer Etagenanschlussklemme ist, an welcher die mehreren übereinander angeordneten Anschlussbereiche zum Anschließen von Leitern an die Etagenanschlussklemmen ausgebildet sind. Das Markierungsschild erstreckt sich somit im befestigten Zustand in Längsrichtung einer Etagenanschlussklemme und nicht mehr quer zu einer Etagenanschlussklemme. Das Markierungsschild ist insbesondere dazu geeignet, die einzelnen Anschlussbereiche der Etagenanschlussklemmen zu kennzeichnen. Mittels des Markierungsschildes, welches sich in Längsrichtung der Etagenanschlussklemmen erstreckt, kann ein teilungsfreies Markierungsschild ausgebildet werden, wodurch ein besonders geringer Platzbedarf des Markierungsschildes an einer Etagenanschlussklemmenanordnung erreicht werden kann. Dieses Markierungsschild ist vorzugsweise einstückig ausgebildet und erstreckt sich einstückig entlang einer Querseite mindestens einer der Etagenanschlussklemmen. Vorzugsweise erstreckt sich das Markierungsschild über die gesamte Länge einer Querseite, so dass mittels eines Markierungsschildes alle übereinander angeordneten Anschlussbereiche einer Etagenanschlussklemme gekennzeichnet bzw. markiert werden können. Lösbar befestigbar bedeutet hierbei, dass das Markierungsschild wieder von den Etagenanschlussklemmen getrennt werden kann, so dass ein leichtes Auswechseln und individuelles Markieren der Anschlussbereiche der Etagenanschlussklemmen, insbesondere durch einen Benutzer erfolgen kann. Dass sich das Markierungsschild zumindest bereichsweise entlang einer Querseite erstreckt bedeutet, dass das Markierungsschild zumindest einen Teilbereich der Querseite der Etagenanschlussklemme überdeckt bzw. überlappt, wodurch der Platzbedarf des Markierungsschildes einer Etagenanschlussklemmenanordnung wesentlich reduziert werden kann.The floor terminal assembly according to the invention is now characterized in particular by the fact that at least one, preferably two or more markings on the floor terminal assembly can be releasably attached to the terminal areas, wherein in a fixed state of the label, that is, when the label is detachably attached to the floor terminal assembly the label does not extend over the entire length of the tier connection assembly, but the label extends along a transverse side of at least one of the tier terminals; wherein the transverse side is the side of a floor connection terminal, on which the plurality of superimposed connection areas for connecting conductors to the floor connection terminals are formed. The label thus extends in the attached state in the longitudinal direction of a floor connection terminal and no longer transversely to a floor connection terminal. The marker plate is particularly suitable for identifying the individual connection areas of the floor connection terminals. By means of the marker plate, which extends in the longitudinal direction of the floor connection terminals, a division-free marker plate can be formed, whereby a particularly small footprint of the marker plate can be achieved at a floor terminal assembly. This marker plate is preferably formed in one piece and extends integrally along a transverse side of at least one of the floor connection terminals. Preferably, the label extends over the entire length of a transverse side, so that by means of a marker plate all stacked connection areas of a floor connection terminal can be marked or marked. Detachably attachable here means that the label can be separated again from the floor connection terminals, so that an easy replacement and individual marking of the connection areas of the floor connection terminals, in particular by a user can be done. The fact that the marker plate extends at least partially along a transverse side means that the marker plate covers or overlaps at least a portion of the transverse side of the floor connection terminal, whereby the space requirement of the marker plate of a Floor terminal assembly can be significantly reduced.

Bevorzugt ist es vorgesehen, dass das Markierungsschild mindestens zwei übereinander angeordnete Markierungsbereiche aufweist, wobei vorzugsweise jeder Markierungsbereich jeweils einem der übereinander angeordneten Anschlussbereiche zugeordnet ist. Durch die mehreren Markierungsbereiche eines Markierungsschildes kann jedem Anschlussbereich ein Markierungsbereich zugeordnet werden, so dass jeder Anschlussbereich individuell markiert werden kann, wobei diese Markierung mittels nur eines einzigen Markierungsschildes erfolgen kann und dadurch eine Befestigung einzelner Markierungsschilder pro Anschlussbereich nicht mehr notwendig ist. Die Handhabung einer Markierung bzw. Kennzeichnung der Vielzahl von Anschlussbereichen einer Etagenanschlussklemmenanordnung kann dadurch für einen Benutzer wesentlich vereinfacht werden.It is preferably provided that the marking plate has at least two marking regions arranged one above the other, wherein preferably each marking region is assigned in each case to one of the terminal regions arranged one above the other. By means of the multiple marking areas of a marking shield, each connecting area can be assigned a marking area, so that each connecting area can be marked individually, whereby this marking can take place by means of only one single marking plate and thus attachment of individual marking signs per connecting area is no longer necessary. The handling of a marking or labeling of the plurality of connection regions of a floor connection terminal arrangement can thereby be simplified considerably for a user.

Zwischen zwei Markierungsbereichen weist das Markierungsschild vorzugsweise jeweils eine Taillierung auf. Markierungsbereiche, auf welchen eine Beschriftung beispielsweise durch Bedrucken oder Aufkleben aufgebracht werden kann, sind dann bevorzugt breiter bzw. größer ausgebildet als die jeweiligen Bereiche zwischen den Markierungsbereichen. Die Bereiche zwischen den Markierungsbereichen sind gegenüber den Markierungsbereichen tailliert ausgebildet, so dass das Markierungsschild zwischen den Markierungsbereichen eine Materialeinschnürung bzw. Einbuchtung aufweist. Hierdurch kann zum einen Material an dem Markierungsschild eingespart werden und zudem kann die notwendige Fläche bzw. der notwendige Platzbedarf des Markierungsschildes an den Etagenanschlussklemmen der Etagenanschlussklemmenanordnung reduziert werden.Between two marking areas, the marker shield preferably has a respective waisting. Marking areas on which a label can be applied for example by printing or sticking are then preferably formed wider or larger than the respective areas between the marking areas. The areas between the marking areas are designed to be waisted with respect to the marking areas, so that the marking board has a material constriction or indentation between the marking areas. As a result, on the one hand material can be saved on the label and also the necessary area or the necessary space requirement of the label on the floor connection terminals of the floor terminal assembly can be reduced.

Die Taillierung ist vorzugsweise im Bereich einer Leitereinführungsöffnung eines Anschlussbereiches ausgebildet, wobei die Form der Taillierung bevorzugt an die Form der Leitereinführungsöffnung angepasst ist. Durch die Taillierung im Bereich der Leitereinführungsöffnung eines Anschlussbereiches kann verhindert werden, dass das Markierungsschild das Anschließen eines Leiters im Bereich des Anschlussbereiches behindern kann. Die Handhabung der Etagenanschlussklemmen bzw. des Anschlusses von Leitern an die Etagenanschlussklemmen wird dadurch von dem Markierungsschild nicht gestört. Die Kontur bzw. Form der Taillierung ist vorzugsweise an die Kontur bzw. Form der Leitereinführungsöffnung angepasst, um eine optimale Platzausnutzung des Markierungsschildes an der Etagenanschlussklemme erreichen zu können.The waisting is preferably formed in the region of a conductor insertion opening of a connection region, wherein the shape of the waisting is preferably adapted to the shape of the conductor insertion opening. The sidecut in the area of the conductor entry opening of a connection area can prevent the marking sign from hindering the connection of a conductor in the area of the connection area. The handling of the floor connection terminals or the connection of conductors to the floor connection terminals is thus not disturbed by the marker plate. The contour or shape of the sidecut is preferably adapted to the contour or shape of the conductor insertion opening in order to achieve optimum space utilization of the marking plate on the floor connection terminal can.

Um die Stabilität des Markierungsschildes erhöhen zu können, insbesondere wenn das Markierungsschild eine bzw. mehrere Taillierungen aufweist, ist es bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass das Markierungsschild mindestens eine Verstärkungsrippe aufweist. Die Verstärkungsrippe erstreckt sich vorzugsweise an einer Unterseite des Markierungsschildes, welche im befestigten Zustand des Markierungsschildes in Richtung der Etagenanschlussklemme zeigt. Im befestigten Zustand ist dadurch die Verstärkungsrippe für einen Benutzer nicht erkennbar. Die Verstärkungsrippe erstreckt sich vorzugsweise entlang der Länge des Markierungsschildes. Die Verstärkungsrippe kann einteilig ausgebildet sein und sich einteilig über die gesamte Länge des Markierungsschildes erstrecken. Alternativ ist es auch möglich, dass die Verstärkungsrippe aus mehreren Teilbereichen ausgebildet ist, so dass entlang der Länge des Markierungsschildes mehrere Verstärkungsrippenteilbereiche ausgebildet sind. Insbesondere erstreckt sich die Verstärkungsrippe im Bereich der Taillierungen um eine Abstützung des Markierungsschildes im Bereich seiner Taillierungen ausbilden zu können.In order to increase the stability of the marker plate, in particular if the marker plate has one or more sidepieces, it is preferably provided that the marker plate has at least one reinforcing rib. The reinforcing rib preferably extends on an underside of the marking plate, which points in the direction of the floor connection terminal in the fastened state of the marking plate. In the fastened state, the reinforcing rib is therefore not recognizable to a user. The reinforcing rib preferably extends along the length of the marker shield. The reinforcing rib may be integrally formed and integrally over the extend the entire length of the marker plate. Alternatively, it is also possible for the reinforcing rib to be formed from a plurality of partial regions, so that a plurality of reinforcing rib subareas are formed along the length of the marker shield. In particular, the reinforcing rib extends in the region of the waistings in order to be able to form a support of the marker shield in the region of its sidepieces.

Zur Befestigung des Markierungsschildes an einer oder mehreren Etagenanschlussklemmen weist das Markierungsschild vorzugsweise Rastmittel auf, mittels welchen das Markierungsschild in an den Etagenanschlussklemmen ausgebildeten Gegenrastmitteln lösbar befestigt werden kann. Hierdurch ist eine einfache Montage des Markierungsschildes an den Etagenanschlussklemmen möglich.For attachment of the marker plate to one or more floor connection terminals, the marker plate preferably has latching means, by means of which the marker plate can be releasably secured in formed on the floor connection terminals counter-latching means. As a result, a simple installation of the label on the floor connection terminals is possible.

Bevorzugt ist es dabei vorgesehen, dass die Rastmittel als Rastnasen und die Gegenrastmittel als Öffnungen oder dass die Rastmittel als Öffnungen und die Gegenrastmittel als Rastnasen ausgebildet sind. Die Rastnasen können beispielsweise stiftförmig und/oder hakenförmig ausgebildet sein und sich von der Unterseite des Markierungsschildes weg erstrecken. Bevorzugt ist es insbesondere vorgesehen, dass an den beiden sich gegenüberliegenden Enden des Markierungsschildes Rastmittel ausgebildet sind. Um eine besonders gute Befestigung des Markierungsschildes erreichen zu können, kann es ferner vorgesehen sein, dass an den beiden Enden auch jeweils mehr als ein Rastmittel ausgebildet ist.Preferably, it is provided that the latching means as locking lugs and the counter-locking means as openings or that the latching means are designed as openings and the counter-latching means as latching lugs. The latching noses may be, for example, pin-shaped and / or hook-shaped and extend away from the underside of the marker shield. It is preferably provided in particular that latching means are formed at the two opposite ends of the marker shield. In order to achieve a particularly good attachment of the marker plate, it may further be provided that more than one latching means is formed at the two ends.

Weiter kann es bevorzugt vorgesehen sein, dass entlang der Länge des Markierungsschildes eine Vielzahl von Rastmitteln und entlang der Querseite der Etagenanschlussklemmen eine Vielzahl von Gegenrastmitteln ausgebildet ist. Durch die Erhöhung der Anzahl von Rastmitteln und Gegenrastmitteln kann die Befestigung des Markierungsschildes an den Etagenanschlussklemmen weiter verbessert werden und zudem kann auch eine Stabilisierung des Markierungsschildes erreicht werden. Insbesondere kann es dabei vorgesehen sein, dass ein oder mehr als ein Rastmittel pro Markierungsfläche an der Unterseite des Markierungsschildes im Bereich der Markierungsfläche ausgebildet ist, welches jeweils in ein an einer Etagenanschlussklemme ausgebildetes Gegenrastmittel eingreifen kann. Erfindungsgemäß ist es vorgesehen, dass das mindestens eine Markierungsschild an einer ersten Etagenanschlussklemme und an einer benachbart zu der ersten Etagenanschlussklemme angeordneten zweiten Etagenanschlussklemme angeordnet ist und sich zumindest bereichsweise entlang der Querseite der ersten Etagenanschlussklemme und gleichzeitig zumindest bereichsweise entlang der Querseite der zweiten Etagenanschlussklemme erstreckt. Das Markierungsschild ist hier bevorzugt in einem Übergang zweier nebeneinander angeordneter Etagenanschlussklemmen aufgesetzt bzw. befestigt, so dass sich das Markierungsschild auf zwei nebeneinander bzw. aneinander gereiht angeordneten Etagenanschlussklemmen abstützen kann. Hierdurch kann ein besonders reduzierter Platzbedarf des Markierungsschildes an einer Etagenanschlussklemmenanordnung erreicht werden. Ein Markierungsschild überlappt bei dieser Ausgestaltung somit jeweils einen Teilbereich zweier nebeneinander angeordneter Etagenanschlussklemmen. Das Markierungsschild kann bei dieser Anordnung einen zwischen zwei benachbart zueinander angeordneten Etagenanschlussklemmen ausgebildeten Spalt überlappen. Dadurch, dass das Markierungsschild auch bei dieser Ausgestaltung auf den entlang der Querseiten der aneinander gereiht angeordneten Etagenanschlussklemmen angeordnet ist, ist kein zusätzlicher Raumbedarf zwischen zwei Etagenanschlussklemmen für das Markierungsschild erforderlich. Gegenüber einer Ausgestaltung einer Etagenanschlussklemmenanordnung ohne ein Markierungsschild wird dadurch die Breite der Etagenanschlussklemmenanordnung mit einem Markierungsschild nicht vergrößert. Erfindungsgemäß ist es hierbei vorgesehen, dass die Gegenrastmittel an einem Kantenbereich der Querseite der ersten Etagenanschlussklemme und an einem Kantenbereich der Querseite der zweiten Etagenanschlussklemme ausgebildet sind. Durch die Ausbildung der Gegenrastmittel an einem Kantenbereich der Querseite der Etagenanschlussklemmen wird der Anschlussbereich, welcher an den Querseiten der Etagenanschlussklemmen ausgebildet ist, nicht durch die Gegenrastmittel beeinflusst und insbesondere muss der Anschlussbereich nicht vergrößert ausgebildet werden, so dass die Breite der Etagenanschlussklemmen nicht durch die Ausbildung der Gegenrastmittel an den Querseiten der Etagenanschlussklemmen vergrößert werden muss.
Jedes Gegenrastmittel kann dabei einen ersten Teilbereich und einen zweiten Teilbereich aufweisen, wobei der erste Teilbereich eines Gegenrastmittels an einem Kantenbereich der Querseite der ersten Etagenanschlussklemme ausgebildet sein kann und der zweite Teilbereich eines Gegenrastmittels an einem Kantenbereich der Querseite der benachbart zu der ersten Etagenanschlussklemme angeordneten zweiten Etagenanschlussklemme ausgebildet sein kann. Ein Gegenrastmittel kann sich somit über zwei benachbart zueinander angeordnete Etagenanschlussklemmen erstrecken, so dass der Platzbedarf des Gegenrastmittels an den Etagenanschlussklemmen reduziert werden kann. Der notwendige Platzbedarf für das Markierungsschild kann somit weiter reduziert werden.Furthermore, it can preferably be provided that along the length of the marker shield a plurality of locking means and along the transverse side of the floor connection terminals a plurality of counter-locking means is formed. By increasing the number of locking means and counter-locking means, the attachment of the marker plate to the floor connection terminals can be further improved and also a stabilization of the marker plate can be achieved. In particular, it may be provided that one or more than one locking means per marking surface is formed on the underside of the marker plate in the region of the marking surface, which can each engage in a counter-locking means formed on a floor connection terminal. According to the invention, it is provided that the at least one marking plate is arranged on a first floor connection terminal and on a second floor connection terminal arranged adjacent to the first floor connection terminal and extends at least partially along the transverse side of the first floor connection terminal and at the same time at least partially along the transverse side of the second floor connection terminal. The marker plate is here preferably placed or fastened in a transition of two juxtaposed tier connection terminals, so that the marker plate can be supported on two tiered connection terminals arranged next to one another or next to one another. As a result, a particularly reduced space requirement of the marker plate can be achieved at a floor terminal assembly. A marker plate overlaps in this embodiment thus each a portion of two adjacent arranged floor connection terminals. In this arrangement, the marking plate can overlap a gap formed between two adjacent floor connection terminals. Characterized in that the marker plate is arranged in this embodiment on along the transverse sides of the juxtaposed arranged floor connection terminals, no additional space between two floor connection terminals for the marker plate is required. Compared with an embodiment of a floor terminal assembly without a marker plate thereby the width of the floor terminal assembly is not increased with a marker plate. According to the invention, it is provided here that the counter-locking means are formed on an edge region of the transverse side of the first floor connection terminal and on an edge region of the transverse side of the second floor connection terminal. Due to the design of the counter-latching means at an edge region of the transverse side of the floor connection terminals, the connection region, which is formed on the transverse sides of the floor connection terminals, not affected by the counter-locking means and in particular the connection area must not be formed enlarged, so that the width of the floor connection terminals not by training the counter-locking means on the transverse sides of the floor connection terminals must be increased.
Each counter-latching means can have a first partial area and a second partial area, wherein the first partial area of a counter-latching means can be formed on an edge area of the transverse side of the first floor-connection terminal and the second partial area of a counter-latching means may be formed on an edge region of the transverse side of the second floor connection terminal arranged adjacent to the first floor connection terminal. A counter-latching means can thus extend over two adjacently arranged floor connection terminals, so that the space requirement of the counter-latching means on the floor connection terminals can be reduced. The space required for the label can thus be further reduced.

Weiter ist es bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass die Etagenanschlussklemmenanordnung mindestens zwei Markierungsschilder aufweist, wobei die mindestens zwei Markierungsschilder über mindestens einen Verbindungssteg miteinander verbunden sein können. Durch die Verbindung der mehreren Markierungsschilder miteinander durch ein oder mehrere Verbindungsstege kann die Stabilität der Markierungsschilder verbessert werden. Die Verbindungsstege sind vorzugsweise quer zur Längsrichtung der Markierungsschilder ausgebildet. Die Verbindungsstege, welche vorzugsweise parallel zueinander angeordnet sind, sind vorzugsweise im Bereich der Markierungsflächen an die Markierungsschilder angebunden. Insbesondere sind die Verbindungsstege vorzugsweise an die Markierungsschilder angespritzt.Further, it is preferably provided that the floor terminal assembly has at least two markers, wherein the at least two markers can be connected to each other via at least one connecting web. By connecting the multiple markers to each other through one or more tie bars, the stability of the marker tags can be improved. The connecting webs are preferably formed transversely to the longitudinal direction of the marking labels. The connecting webs, which are preferably arranged parallel to one another, are preferably connected to the marking labels in the region of the marking surfaces. In particular, the connecting webs are preferably molded onto the marking labels.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung unter Bezugnahme auf die anliegenden Zeichnungen anhand bevorzugter Ausführungsformen näher erläutert.The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings with reference to preferred embodiments.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Etagenanschlussklemmenanordnung 100 mit zwei nebeneinander angeordneten Etagenanschlussklemmen 10. Jede Etagenanschlussklemme 10 weist mehrere übereinander angeordnete Anschlussbereiche 11 auf, wobei bei den hier gezeigten Etagenanschlussklemmen 10 diese jeweils acht übereinander angeordnete Anschlussbereiche 11 aufweisen. Jeder Anschlussbereich 11 weist bei der hier gezeigten Ausgestaltung zwei Leitereinführungsöffnungen 12 auf, welche zur Aufnahme jeweils eines anzuschließenden elektrischen Leiters dienen. Die Anschlussbereiche 11 sind an einer Querseite 13 der Etagenanschlussklemmen 10 angeordnet. Jede Etagenanschlussklemme 10 weist zwei sich gegenüberliegend angeordnete Querseiten 13 auf, die in einem Winkel < 90° zueinander angeordnet sind. Insbesondere sind die Querseiten 13 der Etagenanschlussklemmen 10 spitzwinklig zueinander angeordnet. An einer Unterseite 14 der Etagenanschlussklemmen 10 ist jeweils ein Rastfuß 15 ausgebildet, mittels welchem die Etagenanschlussklemmen 10 auf einer hier nicht gezeigten Tragschiene aufgerastet werden können. Fig. 1 1 shows a tier connection terminal arrangement 100 with two tier connection terminals 10 arranged next to one another. Each tier connection terminal 10 has a plurality of terminal areas 11 arranged one above the other, wherein in the case of the tier connection terminals 10 shown here, these each have eight terminal areas 11 arranged one above the other. Each connection region 11 has two conductor insertion openings 12 in the embodiment shown here, which serve to receive in each case a to be connected electrical conductor. The connection areas 11 are arranged on a transverse side 13 of the floor connection terminals 10. Each floor terminal 10 has two oppositely arranged transverse sides 13, which are arranged at an angle <90 ° to each other. In particular, the transverse sides 13 of the floor connection terminals 10 are arranged at an acute angle to one another. On a bottom 14 of the floor connection terminals 10, a respective latching foot 15 is formed, by means of which the floor connection terminals 10 can be snapped onto a mounting rail, not shown here.

Die Etagenanschlussklemmenanordnung 100 weist ferner ein Markierungsschild 16 auf, welches lösbar an den Etagenanschlussklemmen 10 der Etagenanschlussklemmenanordnung 100 befestigt werden kann. Die Befestigung des Markierungsschildes 16 erfolgt an den Querseiten 13 der Etagenanschlussklemmen 10.The tier connection terminal assembly 100 further includes a tag plate 16 which is releasably attachable to the tier connection terminals 10 of the tier connection terminal assembly 100. The attachment of the marker plate 16 takes place on the transverse sides 13 of the floor connection terminals 10th

In Fig. 2 ist das Markierungsschild 16 in einem befestigten Zustand an den Etagenanschlussklemmen 10 gezeigt. In diesem befestigen Zustand des Markierungsschildes 16 erstreckt sich dieses entlang einer Querseite 13 der ersten Etagenanschlussklemme 10 als auch entlang einer Querseite 13 der benachbart dazu angeordneten zweiten Etagenanschlussklemme 10, wobei sich das Markierungsschild 16 bei der hier gezeigten Ausgestaltung über die gesamte Länge der Querseiten 13 der beiden Etagenanschlussklemmen 10 erstreckt. Mittels des Markierungsschildes 16 können so die einzelnen, entlang der Länge der Querseiten 13 übereinander angeordneten Anschlussbereiche 11 der Etagenanschlussklemmen 10 gekennzeichnet werden.In Fig. 2 the label 16 is shown in a fixed state on the floor connection terminals 10. In this fastened state of the marker plate 16, this extends along a transverse side 13 of the first floor connection terminal 10 and along a transverse side 13 of the adjacently arranged second floor connection terminal 10, wherein the label 16 in the embodiment shown here over the entire length of the transverse sides 13 of two floor connection terminals 10 extends. By means of the label 16 so the individual, along the length of the transverse sides 13 superposed connection areas 11 of the floor connection terminals 10 can be characterized.

Hierfür weist das Markierungsschild 16 mehrere übereinander angeordnete Markierungsbereiche 17 auf, wobei bei der hier gezeigten Ausgestaltung das Markierungsschild 16 acht Markierungsbereiche 17 aufweist. Jeder Markierungsbereich 17 ist einem Anschlussbereich 11 zugeordnet. Die Markierungsbereiche 17 können jeweils mit einer entsprechenden Kennzeichnung versehen sein, wobei die hier gezeigte Kennzeichnung in Form von Zahlen ausgebildet ist, die auf die Markierungsbereiche 17 aufgedruckt, aufgeklebt oder in einer ähnlichen Art und Weise aufgebracht sein können.For this purpose, the label 16 has a plurality of stacked marking areas 17, wherein in the embodiment shown here, the label 16 has eight marking areas 17. Each marking area 17 is assigned to a connection area 11. The marking areas 17 can each be provided with a corresponding marking, wherein the marking shown here is designed in the form of numbers which can be printed on the marking areas 17, glued or applied in a similar manner.

Zwischen jeweils zwei benachbart zueinander angeordneten Markierungsbereichen 17 weist das Markierungsschild 16 eine Taillierung 18 auf, wobei die Taillierung 18 in Form einer Materialverjüngung ausgebildet ist. Der Bereich zwischen zwei Markierungsbereichen 17 ist somit wesentlich dünner bzw. schmaler ausgebildet als die Markierungsbereiche 17 selber. Die Taillierung 18 des Markierungsschildes 16 ist im Bereich der Leitereinführungsöffnungen 12 der Anschlussbereiche 11 ausgebildet, wobei die Form bzw. Kontur der Taillierung 18 an die Form bzw. der Kontur der Leitereinführungsöffnungen 12 angepasst ist, wie insbesondere in Fig. 2 zu erkennen ist. Die Taillierung 18 weist somit zwei halbkreisförmig ausgebildete Materialreduzierungen bzw. Einschnürungen auf, welche an die runde Form der Leitereinführungsöffnungen 12 angepasst ist.Between each two adjacently arranged marking regions 17, the label 16 has a sidecut 18, wherein the sidecut 18 is formed in the form of a material taper. The area between two marking areas 17 is thus substantially thinner or narrower than the marking areas 17 themselves. The sidecut 18 of the marker shield 16 is formed in the region of the conductor insertion openings 12 of the connection regions 11, wherein the shape or contour of the sidecut 18 is adapted to the shape or contour of the conductor insertion openings 12, in particular in FIG Fig. 2 can be seen. The sidecut 18 thus has two semicircular material reductions or constrictions, which is adapted to the round shape of the conductor insertion openings 12.

Zum Befestigen des Markierungsschildes 16 weist dieses Rastmittel 19 auf, welche insbesondere an den beiden Enden 20, 21 des Markierungsschildes 16 ausgebildet sind. An dem oberen Ende 20 des Markierungsschildes 16 erfolgt eine Befestigung des Markierungsschildes 16 mittels eines Rastmittels 19 an einer Oberseite 22 der Anschlussklemmen 10. An einem gegenüberliegend ausgebildeten unteren Ende 21 des Markierungsschildes 16 sind zwei übereinander liegend angeordnete Rastmittel 19 ausgebildet, welche an an der Querseite 13 der Etagenanschlussklemmen 10 ausgebildeten Gegenrastmitteln 23 einrastbar bzw. einhakbar sind. Auch an der Oberseite 22 der Etagenanschlussklemmen ist ein entsprechendes Gegenrastmittel 23 zur Einführung des Rastmittels 19 ausgebildet. Die Rastmittel 19 sind hierbei hakenförmig ausgebildet. Die Gegenrastmittel 23 sind in Form von Öffnungen ausgebildet, in welche die Rastmittel 19 eingeführt und eingehakt werden können. Die Rastmittel 19 sind somit in Form von Rastnasen ausgebildet.For attaching the marker plate 16, this locking means 19, which are formed in particular at the two ends 20, 21 of the label 16. To the An oppositely formed lower end 21 of the label 16 are two superimposed horizontally disposed latching means 19 is formed, which on at the transverse side 13 of the upper side 20 of the marker plate 16 is a fastening of the marker plate 16 by means of a locking means 19 on an upper side 22 of the terminals Floor connection terminals 10 trained counter-latching means 23 can be latched or hooked. Also on the upper side 22 of the floor connection terminals, a corresponding counter-locking means 23 for the introduction of the locking means 19 is formed. The locking means 19 are in this case hook-shaped. The counter-locking means 23 are formed in the form of openings, in which the locking means 19 can be inserted and hooked. The locking means 19 are thus formed in the form of locking lugs.

Bei der in Fig. 1 und 2 gezeigten Ausgestaltung ist das Markierungsschild 16 im befestigten Zustand, wie es in Fig. 2 gezeigt ist, zwischen zwei aneinander gereiht angeordneten Etagenanschlussklemmen 10 angeordnet, so dass sich das Markierungsschild 16 entlang der beiden Querseiten 13 der benachbart zueinander angeordneten Etagenanschlussklemmen 10 erstreckt. Das Markierungsschild 16 ist somit in einem Übergangsbereich zwischen den beiden nebeneinander angeordneten Etagenanschlussklemmen 10 angeordnet, so dass das Markierungsschild 16 den Randbereich bzw. einen zwischen den beiden Etagenanschlussklemmen 10 ausgebildeten geringfügigen Spalt überdeckt. Das Markierungsschild 16 stützt sich somit im befestigten Zustand an den beiden benachbart zueinander angeordneten Etagenanschlussklemmen 10 ab. Hierfür sind die Gegenrastmittel 23 an den Kantenbereichen 24 der Querseiten 13 der Etagenanschlussklemmen 10 ausgebildet, wobei die Gegenrastmittel 23 einen ersten Teilbereich 25 und einen zweiten Teilbereich 26 aufweisen, wobei der erste Teilbereich 25 des Gegenrastmittels 23 an einem Kantenbereich 24 der Querseite 13 der ersten Etagenanschlussklemme 10 ausgebildet ist und der zweite Teilbereich 26 des Gegenrastmittels 23 an einem Kantenbereich 24 der Querseite 13 der benachbart zu der ersten Etagenanschlussklemme 10 angeordneten zweiten Etagenanschlussklemme 10 ausgebildet ist. Die Rastmittel 19 haken somit derart in den Etagenanschlussklemmen 10 ein, dass die Rastmittel 19 sowohl an der ersten Etagenanschlussklemme 10 als auch an der benachbart dazu angeordneten zweiten Etagenanschlussklemme 10 verrastet bzw. befestigt werden können.At the in Fig. 1 and 2 the embodiment shown is the marker plate 16 in the attached state, as in Fig. 2 is shown between two juxtaposed arranged tier connection terminals 10, so that the label 16 extends along the two transverse sides 13 of the adjacently arranged tier connection terminals 10. The marking plate 16 is thus arranged in a transition region between the two juxtaposed tier connection terminals 10, so that the marking plate 16 covers the edge region or a slight gap formed between the two tier connection terminals 10. The marker plate 16 is thus supported in the attached state at the two adjacent floor connection terminals 10. For this purpose, the counter-locking means 23 are formed on the edge regions 24 of the transverse sides 13 of the floor connection terminals 10, wherein the Counter-locking means 23 have a first portion 25 and a second portion 26, wherein the first portion 25 of the counter-locking means 23 is formed on an edge portion 24 of the transverse side 13 of the first floor terminal 10 and the second portion 26 of the counter-locking means 23 at an edge portion 24 of the transverse side 13 of is formed adjacent to the first floor connection terminal 10 arranged second floor connection terminal 10.

Hierdurch kann eine Stabilisierung des Markierungsschildes 16 insbesondere im Bereich der Taillierungen 18 des Markierungsschildes 16 ausgebildet werden. Fig. 3 shows a marker plate 16 which has on its underside 27 a reinforcing rib 28 which extends substantially over the entire length of the marker shield 16. As a result, a stabilization of the marker shield 16 can be formed, in particular in the region of the sidepieces 18 of the marker shield 16.

Fig. 4 zeigt eine weitere Ausgestaltung eines Markierungsschildes 16, wobei hier an der Unterseite 27 des Markierungsschildes 16 im Bereich der Markierungsbereiche 17 jeweils zwei zusätzliche Rastmittel 29 vorgesehen sind. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung erstrecken sich somit Rastmittel 19, 29 über die gesamte Länge des Markierungsschildes 16. Auch die Rastmittel 29 können in an der Querseite 13 der Etagenanschlussklemmen 10 ausgebildeten Gegenrastmitteln 23, welche insbesondere in Form von Öffnungen ausgebildet sind, einhaken, so dass durch die mehrfache Befestigung des Markierungsschildes 16 entlang seiner Länge an den Etagenanschlussklemmen 10 eine Stabilisierung des Markierungsschildes 16 erreicht werden kann. Die Rastmittel 29 bilden ebenfalls Rastnasen in Form von Stiften bzw. Stegen aus. Die Rastmittel 29 sind senkrecht zur Unterseite 27 des Markierungsschildes 16 ausgebildet. Fig. 4 shows a further embodiment of a marker plate 16, in which case two additional locking means 29 are provided here on the underside 27 of the marker plate 16 in the region of the marking areas 17.
