Abstract: A patchboard having a plurality of socket blocks (2), each of which has a box-like housing (3) with two end faces (4a, 4b) and four side faces (5a, 5b, 5c, 5d) which extend between the end faces (4a, 4b), the two end faces (4a, 4b) of the socket blocks (2) having at least one connection region (6). An increased degree of flexibility and ability to adapt to individual user requests is achieved due to each of at least two side faces (5a, 5b, 5c, 5d) of the socket blocks (2) having at least one latching element for connection to another socket block (2), and by at least one termination element (11) being arranged on at least one side of the patchboard (1), the termination element (11) having a mating latching element on at least one side face (12, 12b) for connecting the termination element to an adjacent socket block (2).

Abstract: A patchboard includes a plurality of honeycomb components which each have a box-shaped housing having two faces and four side surfaces. The two faces each have a connection region. At least two of the side surfaces have a latching element for connecting to another honeycomb component, and at least two of the honeycomb components have different cross-sections. The width and/or height of a honeycomb component having a larger cross-section is a multiple of the width and/or height of a honeycomb component having a smaller cross-section. The number of latching elements of a side surface having a greater width or greater height of a honeycomb component having a larger cross-section is a corresponding multiple of the number of latching elements of a side surface having a smaller width or smaller height of a honeycomb component having a smaller cross-section.

Abstract: The invention illustrates and describes a patchboard comprising a plurality of socket blocks (2), wherein the individual socket blocks (2) each have a box-like housing (3) with two end faces (4a, 4b) and four side faces (5a, 5b, 5c, 5d) which extend between the end faces (4a, 4b), and wherein the two end faces (4a, 4b) of the socket blocks (2) each have at least one connection region (6). The patchboard (1) according to the invention has an increased degree of flexibility and ability to adapt to individual requests of a user as a result of at least two side faces (5a, 5b, 5c, 5d) of the socket blocks (2) each having at least one latching element for connection to another socket block (2), and by at least one termination element (11) being arranged on at least one side of the patchboard (1), wherein the termination element (11) has a mating latching element on at least one side face (12, 12b), the termination element (11) being connected to an adjacent socket block (2) by means of said mating latching element.

Abstract: An inflatable device for infants, the device comprising a structure formed from two or more inflatable chambers in fluid communication with a control valve, wherein the control valve comprises a single input port for receiving an inflation device and an output port unit in fluid communication with the inflatable chambers to enable the chambers to be inflated simultaneously by the inflation device while providing fluid separation between the chambers after inflation.

Abstract: An electrical terminal, for example a terminal block which includes a terminal housing having at least one terminal element located within, such as a tension spring terminal, and with at least one current bar. The terminal housing also includes at least one lead insertion opening for inserting an electrical lead to be connected, at least one actuating opening for inserting an actuating tool for opening the tension spring terminal and at least one test plug opening for inserting a test plug which is laterally offset from the plane of the actuating opening. This electrical terminal enables a test tap while also having smaller size than conventional electrical terminals.

Abstract: An input/output module (1) with a terminal unit (2) for connection of sensors or actuators with an electronic unit (3) and with a bus connection element (4). The terminal unit (2) has at least one input/output (5) located in a surface thereof and the terminal unit is connected by the electronic unit (3) to the bus connection element (4). To replace the electronic unit (3), the terminal unit (2) can be removed from the electronic unit (3) without the need to remove lines (6) connected to the inputs/outputs (5). The terminal unit (2) is able to be mounted to the electronic unit (3) in each of two positions, the input/output (5) in the two positions lying in planes that are offset relative to each other by 90.degree..

Abstract: A terminal for at least one fiberoptic cable comprising a housing with a front face having at least one slot therein for receiving an end of a fiberoptic cable, at least one optical transmitter and/or receiver, a fitting element which is movable within the housing by sliding and which has at least one insertion opening for a fiberoptic cable to be joined to the at least one transmitter and/or receiver, and with a cutter which has at least one blade. The at least one insertion opening of the fitting element and an actuating arrangement for sliding of the fitting element between a mounting position for receiving the at least one fiberoptic cable and an operating position in which the at least one fiberoptic cable is joined to the at least one transmitter and/or receiver are at the same side of the housing. The housing is provided with at least one cable duct for discharging cut-off pieces of the at least one fiber optic cable.
