  • Patent number: 8777534
    Abstract: In the case of a connection system having a housing (10) and a nut (16) which can be arranged on the housing (10), the aim is to provide a solution by means of which it is possible to prevent the nut (16) from being released inadvertently from the housing (10). This is intended to be achieved in that the nut (16) is formed from an elastic material and latching elements (24) are formed on the nut (16), which latching elements (24) can be latched to mating latching elements (26) which are formed on the housing (10).

  • Patent number: 8287307
    Abstract: A fastening unit has a fastening device (1) and an electrical distributor (2) which is lockable to the fastening device by latching. The fastening device has a base plate (3) and with two latch mechanisms (4) which project vertically away from the base plate (3). Several openings (5, 5?) for holding screws (6) are formed in the base plate (3), with which the base plate (3) can be fastened to the wall or other support (7), and free ends of the latch mechanisms (4) each having an elastic catch arm (8) with a catch hook (9) and a rigid contact arm (10) opposite the catch arm (8). The fastening device enables the electrical distributor to be fastened quickly, easily, and reliably to a wall or other support, with the possibility of also quick and easy detaching of the distributor, as necessary, from the wall without removing the fastening device.
