Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for fixing at least one plug connector to a housing, in particular to a laptop or notebook housing, into which the at least one plug connector is inserted.
  • the purpose of the above-mentioned device is to protect the plug connector inserted into a laptop or notebook housing against undesired kinking. So far, these devices have been attached to the underside of the laptop or notebook housing by means of Velcro or adhesive tapes or the like. If you want to stow the laptop or notebook in a bag for transport, the fixing device protruding on the side of the case is bulky and cumbersome. It is therefore necessary to detach the fixing device from the underside of the housing. However, due to the enormous holding forces between the Velcro or adhesive tape and the housing, the Velcro or adhesive tape adhered to the housing tears away from the housing, so that this can be used for further attachment of the fixing device. direction on the underside of the housing can no longer be used. Furthermore, when the fixing device is removed from the underside of the housing, the fixing device can also bend undesirably due to the large holding forces of the Velcro and adhesive tapes.
  • the object of the invention is to improve a device of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that it can be attached to and removed from the housing as often as desired without the disadvantages described above.
  • the invention achieves the stated object by a device for fixing at least one connector to a housing, in particular to a laptop or notebook housing, into which the at least one connector is inserted, the device having a base plate that can be attached to the housing and one on the base plate attachable and removable fixing device with which the at least one connector can be fixed to the housing.
  • the fixing device which is attached to the base plate and protrudes laterally, can thus be removed in order to transport the notebook or laptop in a pocket. During transport, only the relatively flat base plate is then attached to the underside of the housing, which is not a hindrance due to its small thickness during transport in the pocket.
  • the fixing device can have at least one clamping element. This at least one clamping element can advantageously be designed as a simple clamping plate. The at least one connector to be fixed can thus be clamped between the clamping plate and the base plate or between two clamping plates.
  • the at least one clamping element can be padded.
  • the padding protects the at least one connector from mechanical damage even when the clamp is strong.
  • the at least one clamping element can be positioned by means of spacers in height in accordance with the thickness and the position of the at least one connector to be clamped.
  • the at least one clamping element can be fixed and released quickly and easily and without using tools, it can be fixed and released with knurled nuts.
  • the fixing element can be quickly and easily connected to and detached from the base plate when the fixing device can be inserted into the base plate.
  • the base plate can have a latching element with which the fixing device can be locked on the base plate.
  • the latching element can be unlocked by means of a coin, a screwdriver or the like.
  • the base plate can be attached to the underside of the housing by means of adhesive or Velcro strips.
  • Rubber feet can be glued to the housing in order to enable the housing to be placed on a shelf without shaking, despite the base plate attached to the underside of the housing.
  • FIG. 1 shows a side view of a laptop housing with an inventive device arranged thereon
  • FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of a section of the underside of the laptop housing from FIG. 1 with the device arranged thereon;
  • FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the device from FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 4 shows a perspective top view of a base plate of the device from FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 5 shows a perspective top view of a base plate of a fixing device of the device from FIG. 3.
  • Fig. 1 shows a device 10 for fixing connectors 11 which are laterally inserted into a laptop housing 12.
  • the fixed plug connector 11 can be protected against undesired kinking.
  • the plug-in connectors 11 are clamped between two clamping elements 13 designed as clamping plates, the upper clamping element 13 has a cushion 14, which prevents mechanical damage to the plug connector 11 even with strong clamping.
  • the clamping elements 13 are clamped together at their end regions by means of threaded screws 15 and knurled nuts 16. Spacers 17 are used to adjust the height of the lower clamping element 13.
  • the position of the lower clamping element 13 required for fixing can be set by the spacers 17, depending on the thickness of the plug connector 11 and depending on the vertical insertion position of the plug connector 11.
  • adjusting nuts for stepless height adjustment can also be used.
  • Fig. 2 shows a section of the housing 12 on which the device 10 is arranged.
  • a base plate 20 (see FIG. 4) of the device 10 is fastened to the housing 12 by means of Velcro or adhesive tapes. Other types of fixation are also possible.
  • FIG. 3 shows the device 10 alone.
  • adhesive strips 30 by means of which the base plate 20 on the underside of the housing (see FIGS. 1 and 2) is attached.
  • a fixing device 31 which comprises the threaded screws 15, the knurled nuts 16, the clamping elements 13 and the spacers 17 (see FIG. 1).
  • Fig. 4 shows the base plate 20.
  • the base plate 20 has bent edges 40 which give it a torsional stiffness.
  • the edge 40 has a recess 41 in the area of one of the end faces of the base plate 20 in order to be able to insert a base plate 50 (see FIG. 5) of the fixing device 31 (see FIG. 3) in the direction of an arrow 43 via the one end face.
  • the base plate 20 has guide elements 42.
  • the guide elements 42 can grip around the base plate 50 in their edge regions, so that the base plate 50 is held on the base plate 20.
  • the base plate 50 is locked by a retaining spring 44.
  • FIG. 5 shows the base plate 50 of the fixing device 31 (see FIG. 3), which can be inserted into the guide elements 42 (see FIG. 4) with a tongue 51.
  • the tongue 51 has a slot 52, into which the retaining spring 44 (see FIG. 4) can latch with the base plate 20 for locking the base plate 50.
  • a slot 53 is congruent with the slot 45 of the base plate 20 in the locked state (see FIG. 4).
  • the base plate 50 has internal threads 54, into which the threaded screws 15 (see FIG. 3) of the fixing device 31 can be screwed. Centering lugs 55 engage in openings 46 provided for this purpose when the base plate 50 is inserted into the base plate 20 (see FIG. 4). They thus give the base plate 50 a firm, wobble-free hold in the base plate 20.
