DE4311137A1 - Communications plug socket having an adaptor for use with any desired ranges of domestic service appliances - Google Patents

Abstract

A communications plug socket, consisting of a base having load bearing elements and a covering plate is described which, by means of an adaptation, enables installation in any desired range of domestic service appliances and provides marking (designation) of the communications plug socket.

Description

The invention relates to the conversion of a standard Communication socket for use in any covering program of house installation devices according to Preamble of claim 1.

The manufacturers of home installation programs ver see their devices installed in insulating boxes under plaster, such as switches, sockets, dimmers, light signals and the same, outside with covers that regarding their Design and color are of different types. Such covers usually consist of one running single or multiple frames, that is one Framework in which the actuation of one or more devices or covers of sockets, light signals, communica tion devices and the like can be used. The electri or electronic switching and functional devices are preferably with a support ring for flush-mounted devices provided with which the device can be installed in an installation opening consolidate it.

The manufacturers of communication sockets offer their Concealed devices also with a circumferential support ring or with support parts of a support ring. As a cover screw-on cover plates are used for such sockets  used, each for the inclusion of one or more Plugs have corresponding openings. Such commu Nic sockets are usually for separate on construction in insulating cans, like this also for the Installation of electrical house installation devices used become.

In practice, there is often a desire to communicate sockets in the covers of the house installation include devices. The invention is therefore the Based on the task available on the market Communication sockets can be integrated for any cover to design programs of installation devices without special interventions on the communication socket are required are such. This task is characterized by the Features of claim 1 solved. Advantageous further training gene of the invention are in the features of the subclaim specified.

With the help of some schematically represented execution examples games, the invention is explained in more detail. It shows:

Figure 1 is a known type of communication socket with associated cover plate.

Fig. 2 shows a socket base of a communication socket with parts shown in Explosionsdarstel development of any cover program of an installation device series, integrated with the adaptation according to the invention and provided with lettering;

. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the adapter of Figure 2, but in two versions, each version for a different pin passage is formed of a communication plug, the labeling strips are assigned;

Fig. 4 greatly enlarged a section through a label bar to illustrate the adaptation.

In Fig. 1, a communication socket 1 of conventional design is shown in plan view. With 2 , the support elements and 3 , the associated cover plate is characterized, which is provided with a connector bushing 9 . In the exploded view according to FIG. 2, the associated cover plate 3 is removed from the conventional communication socket 1 . This is where the invention comes in, that is, a cover frame 4 is selected by any installation program. This frame has on the inside recessed support surfaces 5 which serve as a holder for an adaptable part 6 . The adapter part 6 is provided on the inside with recessed peripheral support edges 7 to accommodate the new cover plate 8 with the through opening 9 of the communication socket 1 . In addition, the adapter 6 still has opposing recesses 12 which are cut into the frame-shaped adapter so that when the cover part 8 is inserted, the recesses 12 form plug-in openings into which the catches 11 of inserted inscription 10 engage. According to FIG. 3, these marking strips can markings horizontally or vertically in the mating part 6 or of the inserted there cover B in the Aussparun gen 12 are engaged with underlying Kennzeichnungsmar. In Fig. 4 is shown according to the section line through a label 10 of the assembly of the installation parts, how they are assembled according to the exploded view.
