Abstract: A grounding apparatus for a distribution device having a functional element and a grounding contact point includes a grounding rail having opposed end sections provided with a holding part for fitting the grounding rail to the functional element. An electrically conductive contact spring on each of the end sections extends outwardly beyond the holding part to make contact with the grounding contact point. A safety plug for use with the grounding apparatus includes an overvoltage protection device connected to a conductive contact tongue for contacting an electrical cable connected to the functional element. The overvoltage protection device has a grounding electrode and a conductive fitting in electrical contact with the grounding electrode is provided with an insulation-displacement terminal for connecting the safety plug to the grounding apparatus. A handling apparatus having a base body with a retaining groove is provided for installing the grounding apparatus to the distribution device.

Abstract: A holding device (1) for the accommodation, for example the clamping accommodation, of a telephone unit (18), in particular a handset of a car telephone or of a mobile telephone, has two side walls (2, 3) that are arranged at a distance from each other for positioning the telephone unit (18), the distance between the side walls (2, 3) being smaller than the width of the telephone unit (18), in order to accommodate the telephone unit (18) between them in a first position in which main faces of the telephone unit (18) are situated opposite the side walls (2, 3), and in order to store the telephone unit (18) in a second position, on longitudinal edges of the side walls (2, 3), in which the main faces of the telephone unit (18) are situated transversely with respect to the side walls (2, 3). The distance between the side walls (2, 3) advantageously corresponds at least approximately to the thickness of the telephone unit (18).

Abstract: Screening device against electromagnetic radiation, having a thin structural unit (2) which extends in a plane and is provided with walls (3) running essentially perpendicular to the plane, whereas the walls (3) themselves, at least in partial regions, are elastically deformable in the direction of the structural unit (2).
