Closed housing for a locking element of a plug-in connection

摘要

A plug-in connection has a housing having a pair of spaced sides between which can fit a plug or socket. Each side is formed with an aperture with the apertures aligned transversely with each other. The housing further having a latch element and a locking element. A pair of spaced side walls are fixed to and project outward from one of the sides of the housing. The aperture of the one side of the housing is between the side walls, and the aperture on the other side of the housing is at least as large as the aperture of the one side. A cover bridges the side walls and forms therewith a recess adapted to receive the locking element movable therein. The cover and side walls at least almost completely enclose the latch element and locking element and are almost completely enclosed in an end region of the recess.
