MODULAR UNIVERSAL DISPENSER

The present invention relates to a modular universal housing for various wires, cables, fibers, connectors and the like, for example for termination, cross-connection and / or earthing.

For example, in dry rooms in a telecommunications environment, distribution racks are required for terminating, cross-connecting and / or grounding various wires, cables and fiber-10, etc. Typically such are, for example, symmetrical pair wires, coaxial cables and single fibers.

15 It is already known to make installation-specific and enclosure models which are tailored to the situation for each installation. By suitably combining parts of different lengths, distribution racks of the desired height suitable for the installation sites have been obtained.

20

Previous distribution rack models often have a large number of structural parts and the distribution rack bodies are quite large, which causes unnecessary load on the storage spaces. The installation of the distribution rack is difficult because the 25 body pieces of the rack could not be pre-furnished during manufacture.

: Due to the above, there are high costs for custom-made distribution rack models. Difficulties in maintaining and grounding the system are also a particular problem.

101111 2

It is an object of the present invention to provide an improvement over the above-mentioned drawbacks. In particular, it is an object of the present invention to provide a novel modular universal distribution box for the purpose of terminating, cross-connecting and / or earthing various wires, cables, fibers, connectors and the like.

The above-mentioned drawbacks are remedied and the objects defined above are achieved by a modular universal distribution box according to the invention, which is characterized by what is stated in the characterizing part of claim 1.

Advantages of the present invention include a reduction in the number of components, easier installation, easier manufacturing of the components due to the smaller structure of the body, a reduction in the size of the stock package, and the ability to pre-furnish the body during manufacture. Furthermore, the present invention reduces costs, facilitates system maintenance, diversifies usability, and simplifies system grounding.

The invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 shows the frame of a modular universal distribution frame and the attachment of the mounting strips to the mounting flanges.

Figure 2 shows the attachment of a modular fastener to mounting rails preferably used in a modular universal bracket and some examples of different variations of the modular fastener.

Figure 3 shows the attachment of a modular mounting piece to other mounting strips preferably used in a modular universal distribution frame.

Figure 4 shows the connection of the pieces of the frame-15 of the modular universal distribution frame in a pillar-like manner and the components to be fastened to the body.

The modular universal distribution box according to the invention comprises at least one cavity body, preferably rectangular in shape, open on at least one side, to which different parts of the universal distribution box are attached. The hollow body forming the body is hereinafter referred to as the body body 1. A loop has been machined on the inner surface of at least one closed side of the body body for tying and / or fixing the cables.

: In addition, at least one open side of the body has mounting flanges for releasably securing mounting strips, such as mounting strips 10, to an optional mounting position. Preferably, the mounting strips to be fastened to the body part 101111 4 are designed in such a way that the distance between them can be changed by changing the fastening position of at least the second mounting strip.

5

In Fig. 1, in a preferred embodiment of the modular universal distribution box according to the invention, support pieces 2 are fastened to the ends of the second open side of the body piece.

Fig. 2 shows a section of mounting strips 10 to be fastened to the mounting flanges of the modular universal frame body 1 for mounting accessories 15. At least one modular fastener, such as the connector plate model 11 shown in Figure 2, is attached to the mounting strips 10 in a detachable manner, usually for example by means of a male-female type connection. The fasteners 12 and 13 show by way of example some other preferred designs.

25: Preferably, the fastening piece to be fastened to the mounting strips 10 has openings leading to the tooth of the mounting strip and at least one of the openings has a projection which fits into a hole in the tooth of the mounting strip. In particular, it should be noted that, for example, a nameplate, a strain relief and / or a fiber support guide can be releasably attached to a modular mounting piece to be attached to the mounting strips 10.

5

Fig. 3 shows a section of some other mounting strips 14 to be fastened to the fastening flanges of the modular universal frame body 1 for fixing the mounting accessories. At least one modular fastening piece is removably attached to the mounting strips 14, such as, for example, the connector plate model 15 of Figure 3. The modular mounting piece, such as the connector plate 15, has notch points at the lower and / or upper ends. At least one notch has a protrusion that fits into a hole in the installation list.

20

Figure 3 shows only one example of a modular mounting piece to be fastened to the mounting strips 14. This, of course, is in no way intended to limit the modular fastener 25 to be fastened to the mounting strips 14 to only one model. Different fastener designs are conceivable. In particular, it should be noted that, for example, a marking plate, a strain relief and / or a fiber support guide can be releasably attached to a modular fastening piece to be fastened to the mounting strips 14.

Figures 2 and 3 illustrate, by way of example, some preferred mounting rail models for use in a modular universal distribution frame and modular fasteners to be attached thereto. It is also not intended in any way to limit the methods of attaching the modular fastener to the mounting-10 list models shown above.

In Fig. 4, two run pieces 1 of a modular universal distribution frame according to the invention are connected to each other in a pillar-like manner. The ends of the structure have adapter ends 8, 8b 15 and flange parts 9. . According to Fig. 4, a modular universal distribution frame is fastened from the flange part 9 to the raising base 7.

20

At least one open side of the body is closed by a cover 4. A further grounding strip 3 is attached to the support piece 2 to be fitted to the upper part of the body for earthing the cable sheaths for external earthing.

By combining an optional number of identical run pieces 1, a cross-coupling field of the desired height can be built very flexibly. In particular, it should be noted that the modular universal distribution frame can be suspended, for example, on a wall, assembled as a free-standing pillar on the floor and / or fixed to the ceiling of the equipment room. The modules can easily be assembled into 5 very wide cross-connection fields.

The present invention has been described above with the aid of only one preferred embodiment. This is not intended to limit the invention in any way solely to the example described above. Various embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art within the scope of the protective requirements set forth below.
