Supporting frame construction for modular connectors

摘要

A supporting frame construction for modular connectors comprises a main structural element associated by sliding engagement means with a linear element; said main structural element including a linear portion having a plurality of seats for engaging therein a plurality of corresponding projections formed on modules to be mounted in the supporting frame construction; said linear element including a plurality of linear element seats, corresponding to the seats of the linear portion of the main structural element, for engaging therein corresponding projections formed on said modules.

1. A supporting frame construction for modular connectors, said construction comprising a main structural element (2) associated by sliding engagement means with a linear element (3); said main structural element (2) including a linear portion (4) including a plurality of seats (5) for engaging therein a plurality of corresponding projections formed on modules (6) to be mounted in the supporting frame construction (1); said linear element (3) including a plurality of linear element seats (55), corresponding to the seats (5) of the linear portion of the main structural element (2), for engaging therein corresponding projections formed on said modules (6) to be mounted in the frame construction (1), said linear element (3) comprising at least two operating positions: an engagement position, in which said main structural element (2) is rigidly connected and said seats engage the projections of said modules (6) to lock said modules in said frame (1), and an offset position in which the seats (55) of the linear element (3) disengage the projections of the modules (6) thereby facilitating a removal of said frame (1), said main structural element (2) comprising two cross members (7) supporting a rod element (8) parallel to the linear element (3), said rod element (8) comprising a shaped seat (9) with which a shaped lug (10) formed on the linear element (3) can be engaged, said linear element (3) comprising a plurality of seats (55) corresponding to the seats (5) of the linear portion (4) of the main structural element (2), for engaging therein corresponding projections formed on said modules (6), characterized in that said sliding engagement means, for associating the linear element (3) with the main structural element (2) to provide the frame construction (1), comprise longitudinal recesses (11) formed on respective sides (33) of the linear element (3) for engaging corresponding longitudinal lugs (12) formed on the cross members (7) of the main structural element (2).
