Abstract

The invention relates to a device for securing a receptacle housing, positioned at the end of a cable, in an opening of a wall. The receptacle housing and the opening have a generally rectangular cross-sectional area and can be connected with each other in at least two positions, offset by 90 DEG from each other. The receptacle housing has detent springs which engage with the wall, from behind. A securing strap is fixed on the cable which is connected to the receptacle housing. The other end of the securing strap is connected to a cover. The cover can be mounted on the contact side of the receptacle housing. The cover can be guided through a groove-shaped recess while the securing strap is pushed through a side wall of the opening. The alignment between receptacle and opening, without impairment of the passage of the securing strap, is achieved in that the opening of the wall only has recesses for the securing strap of the cover in two side walls, located at right angles to each other. The two side walls determine a vertical and a horizontal routing of the cable to the receptacle housing.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Befestigen eines am Ende eines Kabels befestigten Steckers in einem Durchbruch einer Platte, eines Trägers oder dgl., bei der der Durchbruch von vier Seitenwänden begrenzt ist und im wesentlichen quadratischen Querschnitt aufweist, wobei der Stecker auf den Querschnitt des Durchbruches angepaßt und in zwei um 90° gegeneinander versetzte Stellungen in den Durchbruch einsetzbar ist, wobei das Steckergehäuse auf zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Außenseiten mit Rastfedern versehen ist, die die Platte, den Träger oder dgl. rastend hintergreifen, wobei auf dem am Stecker angeschlossenen Kabel ein Halteband festgelegt ist, an dessen freiem Ende eine Abdeckkappe zum Aufstecken auf die Kontaktseite des Steckers angebracht ist und wobei in einer Seitenwand des Durchbruches eine nutartige Aussparung zum Durchführen des Haltebandes eingebracht ist.The invention relates to a device for fastening a plug attached to the end of a cable in an opening in a plate, a support or the like, in which the opening is limited by four side walls and has a substantially square cross section, the plug being the cross section of the opening adapted and in two positions offset by 90 ° can be used in the opening, the connector housing is provided on two opposite outer sides with latching springs which engage behind the plate, the carrier or the like. With a retaining strap on the cable connected to the connector is fixed, at the free end of which a cover cap is attached for plugging onto the contact side of the plug and wherein a groove-like recess is made in a side wall of the opening for the holding band to be passed through.

Eine solche Vorrichtung ist aus der Firmenbroschüre der Firma CONZEN GmbH & Co. KG: Netzwerke nach IEEE 802.5 (Token Ring), IBM-Verkabelungssystem, Seiten 11 bis 15, bekannt. Bei dieser bekannten Vorrichtung wird mit dem Halteband die Abdeckkappe hinter der Platte, dem Träger oder dgl. gehalten, so daß bei Nichtgebrauch, d.h. bei abgenommenem Gegenstecker, die Kontaktseite des Steckers abgedeckt und geschützt werden kann. Bei den bekannten Steckern ist das Kabel über einen seitlichen Ansatz in das Steckergehäuse eingeführt, wobei das Halteband auf dem Einführungsstutzen dieses Ansatzes mittels einer Überwurfmutter gehalten ist. Da nur eine Seitenwand des Durchbruches mit einer Aussparung für das Halteband versehen ist, muß dieses unabhängig von der Verbindungsstellung des Steckers an derselben Stelle des Durchbruches eingeführt werden. Dies führt dann zu Schwierigkeiten, wenn der Stecker mit der mit dem Ansatz und dem Einführungsstutzen für das Kabel versehenen Seitenwand des Steckergehäuses nicht mit der Seitenwand des Durchbruches zusammenfällt, die die Aussparung für das Halteband aufweist.Such a device is known from the company brochure by CONZEN GmbH & Co. KG: Networks according to IEEE 802.5 (Token Ring), IBM cabling system, pages 11 to 15. In this known device, the cover cap is held behind the plate, the carrier or the like with the retaining band, so that the contact side of the plug can be covered and protected when not in use, ie when the mating connector is removed. In the known plugs, the cable is inserted into the connector housing via a lateral extension, the retaining band being held on the insertion socket of this extension by means of a union nut. Since only one side wall of the opening is provided with a recess for the tether, this must be independent of the connection position of the plug at the same point of the opening. This leads to difficulties if the plug with the side wall of the plug housing provided with the extension and the inlet connector for the cable does not coincide with the side wall of the opening which has the cutout for the retaining band.

Diesen Nachteil könnte man dadurch vermeiden, daß alle Seitenwände des Durchbruches mit Aussparungen für das Halteband versehen werden. Dies läßt dann alle vier möglichen Stellungen zwischen dem Stecker und dem Durchbruch zu, was zu Schwierigkeiten in der Kabelführung führen kann.This disadvantage could be avoided by providing all side walls of the opening with cutouts for the tether. This then allows all four possible positions between the connector and the opening, which can lead to difficulties in the cable routing.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs erwähnten Art so auszugestalten, daß für die Verbindung zwischen dem Stecker und dem Durchbruch der Platte, des Trägers oder dgl. nur zwei bestimmte Stellungen vorgegeben sind, die gleichzeitig eine bestimmte vertikale und eine bestimmte horizontale Zuleitung des Kabels am Stecker und dabei auch die Durchführung des Haltebandes an den dafür am besten geeigneten Stellen des Durchbruches vorgeben.It is an object of the invention to design a device of the type mentioned in such a way that only two specific positions are specified for the connection between the plug and the opening of the plate, the support or the like of the cable on the plug and thereby also stipulate the implementation of the retaining strap at the most suitable points of the breakthrough.

Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß der Durchbruch der Platte, des Trägers oder dgl. nur in zwei senkrecht zueinander stehenden Seitenwänden nutartige Aussparungen für das Halteband der Abdeckkappe aufweist, so daß, wenn die Außenseite des Steckergehäuses, die das Kabel trägt, in der einen Verbindungsstellung der ersten Seitenwand zugeordnet ist, das Halteband durch die eine Aussparung dieser Seitenwand geführt ist, und, wenn in der zweiten, um 90° versetzten Verbindungsstellung die das Kabel tragende Außenseite des Steckergehäuses der zweiten, vertikal zur ersten stehenden Seitenwand zugeordnet ist, das Halteband durch die Aussparung dieser zweiten Seitenwand geführt ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the breakthrough of the plate, the carrier or the like. Has groove-like recesses for the retaining band of the cover cap only in two mutually perpendicular side walls, so that if the outside of the plug housing, which carries the cable, is assigned in one connection position to the first side wall, the retaining band is guided through a recess in this side wall, and, in the second connection position offset by 90 °, the cable carrier-carrying outside of the connector housing is assigned to the second, vertical to the first side wall , The tether is passed through the recess of this second side wall.

Damit ist erreicht, daß das Kabel am Stecker jeweils einer Seitenwand des Durchbruches zugeordnet ist, an der auch das Halteband mit der Abdeckkappe ohne Schwierigkeiten eingeführt werden kann. Gleichzeitig wird vorgegeben, ob das Kabel von oben oder von unten vertikal an den Stecker herangeführt wird oder ob es von links oder von rechts horizontal zum Stecker gelangt. Der Durchbruch mit den Aussparungen in den Seitenwänden legt auch die Zuleitung des Kabels zu dem im Durchbruch befestigten Stecker fest.This ensures that the cable on the connector is assigned to a side wall of the opening, on which the retaining band with the cover cap can also be inserted without difficulty. At the same time, it is specified whether the cable is fed vertically from above or below to the connector or whether it reaches the connector horizontally from the left or the right. The opening with the cutouts in the side walls also defines the cable feed to the connector fastened in the opening.

Nach einer Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, daß der Durchbruch in den Ecken mit in den Durchbruch ragenden Ansätzen versehen ist und daß das Steckergehäuse im Bereich der Eckkanten entsprechende Absätze aufweist.According to one embodiment, it is provided that the opening in the corners is provided with projections projecting into the opening and that the connector housing has corresponding shoulders in the region of the corner edges.

Die Handhabung wird dadurch erleichtert, daß das Halteband und die Abdeckkappe einstückig ausgebildet sind und daß das Halteband dem Kabel zugekehrt in einen Haltering ausläuft, der auf den Einführungsstutzen des Steckergehäuses aufgeschoben und mittels einer Oberwurfmutter darauf gehalten ist.Handling is facilitated in that the tether and the cover cap are formed in one piece and that the tether tapes the cable runs out into a retaining ring which is pushed onto the inlet socket of the connector housing and held thereon by means of a nut.

Eine bündige Durchführung des Haltebandes durch die Platte, den Träger oder dgl., die kaum auffällt, wird dadurch erreicht, daß der Querschnitt des Haltebandes und der nutartigen Aussparungen in den Seitenwänden des Durchbruches rechteckförmigen Querschnitt aufweisen.A flush passage of the tether through the plate, the carrier or the like, which is hardly noticeable, is achieved in that the cross section of the tether and the groove-like recesses in the side walls of the opening have a rectangular cross section.

Die Erfindung wird anhand von in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert. Es zeigt

  • Fig. 1 ein Ausführungsbeispiel mit dem Stecker und dem Durchbruch, das für eine Zuleitung des Kabels von links und von unten ausgelegt ist, und
  • Fig. 2 ein Ausführungsbeispiel mit dem Stecker und dem Durchbruch, das für eine Zuleitung des Kabels von rechts und von unten geeignet ist.
The invention is explained in more detail with reference to exemplary embodiments shown in the drawings. It shows
  • Fig. 1 shows an embodiment with the plug and the breakthrough, which is designed for a supply of the cable from the left and from below, and
  • Fig. 2 shows an embodiment with the plug and the breakthrough, which is suitable for supplying the cable from the right and from below.

Der Durchbruch 11 und das Steckergehäuse des Steckers 20 haben einen im wesentlichen quadratischen Querschnitt. Lediglich in den Eckbereichen weist der Durchbruch 11 Ansätze 12 auf, die in den Durchbruch 11 ragen, während das Steckergehäuse des Steckers 20 entlang der Eckkanten entsprechende Absätze 27 trägt. Die Platte 10 kann ein Träger oder eine Gehäusewand sein und der Durchbruch 11 legt die Stelle fest, an der der Stecker 20 an der Platte befestigt wird.The opening 11 and the connector housing of the connector 20 have a substantially square cross section. Only in the corner areas does the opening 11 have projections 12 which protrude into the opening 11, while the connector housing of the connector 20 carries corresponding paragraphs 27 along the corner edges. The plate 10 can be a carrier or a housing wall and the opening 11 defines the point at which the connector 20 is attached to the plate.

Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 1 sind in die untere Seitenwand 13 und in die linke Seitenwand 15 des Durchbruches 11 die nutartigen Aussparungen 14 und 16 eingebracht, die im Querschnitt auf das rechteckförmige Halteband 25 abgestimmt sind und dieses aufnehmen können, wenn der Stecker in den Durchbruch 11 eingerastet wird. Dazu trägt das Steckergehäuse auf zwei einander gegenüberliegenden Außenseiten die Rastfedern 21, die dabei hinter der Platte 10, dem Träger oder dgl. einrasten und den Stecker 20 an derselben bzw. demselben festlegen.In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the groove-like recesses 14 and 16 are introduced into the lower side wall 13 and into the left side wall 15 of the opening 11, which are matched in cross section to the rectangular retaining band 25 and can accommodate this when the plug in the Breakthrough 11 is engaged. For this purpose, the connector housing carries the detent springs 21 on two opposite outer sides, which engage behind the plate 10, the carrier or the like and fix the connector 20 to the same or the same.

Das Steckergehäuse des Steckers 20 trägt auf einer Seite, die keine Rastfedern 21 aufweist, den Ansatz 22 mit dem Einführungsstutzen für das Kabel 23. Auf den Einführungsstutzen wird die Überwurfmutter 24 aufgeschraubt, die das Kabel 23 im Einführungsstutzen festlegt. Außerdem ist auf den Einführungsstutzen das als Ring auslaufende Halteband 25 aufgeschoben und mit der Überwurfmutter 24 am Ansatz 22 festgespannt. Das freie Ende des Haltebandes 25 läuft in die Abdeckkappe 26 aus, die vorzugsweise einstückig mit dem Halteband 25 hergestellt ist und die zur Abdeckung der Kontaktseite des Steckers 20 dient, wenn dieser nicht mit einem identischen Gegenstecker verbunden ist.The connector housing of the connector 20 carries on one side, which has no detent springs 21, the shoulder 22 with the insertion socket for the cable 23. The union nut 24 is screwed onto the insertion socket, which defines the cable 23 in the inlet connector. In addition, the retaining band 25, which runs out as a ring, is pushed onto the insertion socket and is clamped to the neck 22 with the union nut 24. The free end of the retaining band 25 runs out into the cover cap 26, which is preferably produced in one piece with the retaining band 25 and which serves to cover the contact side of the connector 20 when it is not connected to an identical mating connector.

Wird der Stecker 20 in der in Fig. 1 gezeigten Stellung in den Durchbruch 11 eingerastet, dann wird die Zuleitung des Kabels 23 horizontal von links kommend vorgegeben und das Halteband 25 der Abdeckkappe 26 wird in der Aussparung 16 der linken Seitenwand 15 des Durchbruches 11 hinter die Platte 10 geführt, wobei das Halteband 25 vom Ansatz 22 auf kürzestem Wege und ohne weitere Umlenkungen hinter die Platte 10 gelangt. Wie die Aussparung 14 in der unteren Seitenwand 13 des Durchbruches 11 erkennen läßt, ist der Stecker 20 nach einer Verdrehung um 90° entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn auch mit nach unten gerichtetem Ansatz 22 in gleicher Weise mit der Platte 10 verbindbar, wobei das Kabel 23 von unten her vertikal an den Stecker 20 herangeführt wird. Damit sind nur zwei bestimmte Stellungen für den Stecker 20 an der Platte 10 vorgegeben, in denen eine ganz bestimmte horizontale bzw. vertikale Führung des Kabels 23 vorgegeben ist.If the plug 20 is snapped into the opening 11 in the position shown in FIG. 1, then the cable 23 is supplied horizontally from the left and the retaining band 25 of the cover cap 26 is behind in the recess 16 of the left side wall 15 of the opening 11 the plate 10 guided, the tether 25 from the neck 22 in the shortest possible way and without further deflections behind the plate 10. As can be seen in the recess 14 in the lower side wall 13 of the opening 11, the plug 20 can be connected in the same way to the plate 10 after a rotation by 90 ° counterclockwise, even with the extension 22 directed downwards, the cable 23 from below forth vertically to the connector 20. This means that only two specific positions for the connector 20 on the plate 10 are specified, in which a very specific horizontal or vertical guidance of the cable 23 is specified.

Wie das Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 2 zeigt, lassen sich durch die Aussparungen 14 und 18 in der unteren Seitenwand 13 und in der rechten Seitenwand 17 des Durchbruches 11 wieder nur zwei Stellungen für den Stecker 20 vorgeben, in denen eine bestimmte Zuleitung des Kabels 23 zum Stecker 20 erzwungen wird, da nur in diesen Stellungen das Halteband 25 mit der Abdeckkappe 26 auf kürzestem Wege durch den Durchbruch 11 der Platte 10 geführt werden kann.As the embodiment of FIG. 2 shows, only two positions can be specified for the plug 20 through the recesses 14 and 18 in the lower side wall 13 and in the right side wall 17 of the opening 11, in which a certain supply line of the cable 23 to Plug 20 is forced because only in these positions, the tether 25 with the cover cap 26 can be guided through the opening 11 of the plate 10 in the shortest possible way.

Wie die Fig. 2 zeigt, kann der Stecker 20 so in den Durchbruch 11 eingerastet werden, daß das Halteband 25 in der Aussparung 14 der Seitenwand 13 des Durchbruches 11 hinter die Platte 10 geführt werden kann. Das Kabel 23 wird dann von unten her vertikal an den Ansatz 22 des Steckers 20 herangeführt. Der Stecker 20 kann jedoch auch um 90° entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn verdreht in den Durchbruch 11 eingerastet werden. Dann wird das Halteband 25 in der Aussparung 18 der Seitenwand 17 hinter die Platte 10 geführt und das Kabel 23 wird horizontal von rechts kommend an den Stecker 20 herangeführt.As shown in FIG. 2, the plug 20 can be snapped into the opening 11 in such a way that the retaining band 25 can be guided in the recess 14 in the side wall 13 of the opening 11 behind the plate 10. The cable 23 is then vertically guided from below to the neck 22 of the connector 20. However, the plug 20 can also be snapped into the opening 11 rotated through 90 ° counterclockwise. Then the tether 25 is guided in the recess 18 of the side wall 17 behind the plate 10 and the cable 23 is brought horizontally from the right to the connector 20.
