Derartige Klemmen sind zum Anschluß von elektrischen Verbrauchern, beispielsweise Leuchten, an eine elektrische Spannung in unterschiedlichen Ausführungen hinlänglich bekannt. Sie können als reine Steckklemmen (Steck-/ Steckklemmen) zum beidseitigen Steckverbinden der zu verbindenden Leitungen oder als Steck-/Schraubklemmen zum einseitigen Steckverbinden und anderseitigen Schraubverbinden ausgebildet sein. In der Regel handelt es sich um Reihenklemmen mit mehreren nebeneinander liegenden Einzelklemmen, wobei meistens 3-polige oder 5-polige Ausführungen für Wechsel- oder Drehstrom-Anschlüsse benötigt werden.Such terminals are for connecting electrical consumers, for example lights, to an electrical voltage in different Versions well known. You can use pure plug-in terminals (plug / Plug-in terminals) for connecting the cables to be connected on both sides or as plug-in / screw-type terminals for one-sided plug connection and other end Screw connections should be formed. As a rule, they are terminal blocks with several individual terminals next to each other, mostly 3-pole or 5-pin versions for AC or three-phase connections are needed.

Bei bekannten Klemmen dieser Art sind wegen der Lösetasten gesonderte Einzelteile erforderlich, woraus eine aufwendige Fertigung und Montage der Klemmen resultieren.In known terminals of this type are separate because of the release buttons Individual parts required, resulting in a complex manufacture and assembly of the Clamps result.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Klemmeneinrichtung der beschriebenen Art zu schaffen, die sich durch eine konstruktiv und herstellungsmäßig einfache Ausgestaltung und damit insgesamt durch eine hohe Wirtschaftlichkeit (geringe Kosten) bei zumindest unverändert guten Gebrauchseigenschaften auszeichnet.The present invention has for its object a terminal device of the type described, which is characterized by a constructive and simple design in terms of production and thus overall by a high Profitability (low costs) with at least unchanged good usage properties distinguished.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dies dadurch erreicht, dass das Isolierteil zusammen mit der bzw. jeder Lösetaste als einstückiges Spritzguß-Formteil derart ausgebildet ist, dass dieses Formteil in einem schieberfreien Spritzwerkzeug herstellbar ist.According to the invention this is achieved in that the insulating part together with the or each release button is designed as a one-piece injection molded part such that this molded part can be produced in a slide-free injection mold.

Aus dieser erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung resultiert eine sehr preisgünstige Fertigung. Einerseits wird nur ein relativ einfaches, schieberfreies, d.h. lediglich aus zwei Formhälften bestehendes, Spritzwerkzeug benötigt. Indem das Formteil in seiner Entformrichtung bzw. in Öffnungsrichtung der beiden Formhälften des Spritzformwerkzeugs gesehen hinterschneidungsfrei ausgebildet ist, ist es durch einfaches Öffnen der Formhälften in der jeweiligen Öffnungsrichtung entformbar. Andererseits können aufgrund der erfindungsgemäßen Einteiligkeit des Formteils bestimmte Montageschritte gänzlich entfallen; jedenfalls ist eine gesonderte Montage der Lösetaste (n) nicht mehr erforderlich.This configuration according to the invention results in a very inexpensive one Production. On the one hand, only a relatively simple, slide-free, i.e. just out two mold halves, injection mold required. By the molding in its demolding direction or in the opening direction of the two mold halves Injection molding tool is seen undercut-free, it is through easy opening of the mold halves in the respective opening direction. On the other hand, due to the one-piece nature of the molded part according to the invention certain assembly steps are completely eliminated; in any case is a separate one It is no longer necessary to install the release button (s).

In einer zweckmäßigen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die bzw. jede Lösetaste über ein Filmscharnier derart schwenkbar mit dem Isolierteil verbunden, dass sie aus einer zu der Entformrichtung senkrechten Spritzstellung um etwa 90 ° in eine Gebrauchsstellung verschwenkbar ist. Somit erfolgt die Herstellung im Spritzgiessverfahren mit jeweils senkrecht abstehender Lösetaste, was für die Formung und Entformung vorteilhaft ist. Nach dem Entformen des Formteils braucht nur noch die bzw. jede Lösetaste in ihre eigentliche Gebrauchsstellung durch Verschwenken überführt zu werden.In an expedient embodiment of the invention, the or each release button is over a film hinge so pivotally connected to the insulating part that it made a spray position perpendicular to the demolding direction by about 90 ° in a Use position is pivotable. Thus, the production takes place in the injection molding process with vertically protruding release button, what for the shaping and demolding is advantageous. After demolding the molded part only needs the or each release button in its actual position of use by pivoting to be convicted.
