Die Leiter 13 der Leitung 9 liegen dann in den Nuten 14 des Oberteils 2 und ragen mit ihren abisolierten Enden über dasselbe hinaus. Die Enden der Leiter 13 können danach umgebogen und in eines der Löcher 19 eingesteckt werden, so wie es in schematischer Darstellung aus Fig. 5 hervorgeht. Sie werden dann durch einen federnden Bügel 23 des entsprechenden Kontaktelements 6 an dasselbe angedrückt. Zum Lösen der Verbindung braucht nur mit einem spitzen Gegenstand von oben durch den Schlitz 22 auf den Bügel 23 gedrückt zu werden. Der Leiter 13 kann dann wieder aus dem Durchgangsloch 19 herausgezogen werden.In the upper part 2 are the blocks 5 equipped with the clamping contacts 6 and Printed circuit board 7, in whose conductor tracks the clamping contacts 6 can be soldered in Attached ways of prefabrication. The so prepared upper part 2 is then on the Lower part 1 placed and connected to the same by means of the rotary connector 3. The Conductors 13 of the line 9 are then in the grooves 14 of the upper part 2 and protrude with their stripped ends beyond the same. The ends of the conductor 13 can then bent and inserted into one of the holes 19, as shown in schematic 5 emerges. You will then by a resilient bracket 23 of the corresponding contact element 6 pressed onto the same. To release the connection needs only with a pointed object from above through the slot 22 on the bracket 23 to be pressed. The conductor 13 can then again from the through hole 19th be pulled out.

    Die isolierten Leiter 16 der zweiten Leitung 17 sind ebenfalls auf vorgegebenen Längen abgemantelt und an ihren Enden abisoliert. Die Leitung 17 wird bei geschlossenem Gehäuse in eine Vertiefung 15 des Oberteils 2 so eingedrückt, daß die Enden ihrer Leiter 16 ebenso wie die Enden der Leiter 13 nach oben über das Oberteil 2 hinausragen. Die Enden der Leiter 16 können dann umgebogen und in eines der Durchgangslöcher 20 oder 21 eingesteckt werden. In Fig. 5 sind zwei in die Durchgangslöcher 20 und 21 eingesteckte Leiter 16 eingezeichnet. Sie greifen in die zugehörigen Klemmkontakte 6 ein. Die Leiter 13 und 16 der beiden Leitungen 9 und 17 sind danach über die Leiterkarte 7 miteinander und gegebenenfalls mit einer Spannungsquelle verbunden. Ein separater Verbinder ist dazu nicht erforderlich.The insulated conductors 16 of the second line 17 are also of predetermined lengths stripped and stripped at their ends. Line 17 is closed Housing pressed into a recess 15 of the upper part 2 so that the ends of their Ladder 16 as well as the ends of the ladder 13 upwards over the upper part 2 protrude. The ends of the conductor 16 can then be bent and into one of the Through holes 20 or 21 are inserted. 5 are two in the Through holes 20 and 21 inserted conductor 16 are shown. You reach into that associated terminal contacts 6 a. The conductors 13 and 16 of the two lines 9 and 17 are then with each other via the circuit board 7 and optionally with a Power source connected. A separate connector is not required for this.

    Die Vorrichtung nach der Erfindung läßt sich mit besonderem Vorteil in einem Heizkreisverteiler einer Heizungsanlage einsetzen, in dem die von Raumthermostaten kommenden elektrischen Leitungen enden und in dem eine der Anzahl der Heizkreise entsprechende Anzahl von elektrisch steuerbaren Ventilen angeordnet ist, die auch als Stellantriebe bezeichnet werden. Die im Vorangehenden beschriebenen ersten Leitungen 9 können dabei die von den Raumthermostaten kommenden Leitungen sein, während die zweiten Leitungen 17 an die Stellantriebe angeschlossen sind. Die Vorrichtung dient dann zum einfachen Verbinden von Raumthermostaten und Stellantrieben sowie zu deren schaltungstechnisch richtiger Zuordnung.The device according to the invention can be particularly advantageous in one Use the heating circuit distributor of a heating system in which the room thermostats coming electrical lines end and one of the number of heating circuits corresponding number of electrically controllable valves is arranged, which also as Actuators are called. The first lines described above 9 can be the lines coming from the room thermostats while the second lines 17 are connected to the actuators. The device serves then for easy connection of room thermostats and actuators as well their correct assignment in terms of circuitry.

    Der Einsatz der Leiterkarte 7 mit gedruckter Schaltung bietet hier den besonderen Vorteil, daß Zusatzfunktionen, wie eine automatische Steuerung einzelner Heizkreise oder die Betätigung von Umwälzpumpen, die in entsprechende Modulen abgelegt sind, über geeignete Adapter angeschlossen werden können. Ein solcher Adapter kann beispielsweise stirnseitig durch eine in Fig. 1 erkennbare Öffnung 24 des Oberteils 2 in das geschlossene Gehäuse eingesteckt werden. An dieser Stelle könnte auch ein Teil einer Steckverbindung an der Vorrichtung angebracht sein, auf welcher ein Modul aufgesteckt werden kann. The use of the printed circuit board 7 with a printed circuit offers the particular advantage here that additional functions, such as automatic control of individual heating circuits or Actuation of circulation pumps, which are stored in corresponding modules, via suitable adapters can be connected. Such an adapter can for example at the front through an opening 24 of the upper part 2 in FIG the closed housing can be inserted. At this point there could also be a part a connector on the device on which a module can be plugged on.

    Wenn zwei oder mehr Gehäuse mit Unterteil 1 und Oberteil 2 montiert werden sollen, dann können die Unterteile 2 an ihren Stirnseiten mit korrespondierenden Rastelementen ausgerüstet sein, über welche jeweils zwei Unterteile 2 miteinander verbunden werden können. Wenn ein Betrieb einer durch die Vorrichtung verbindbaren Anlage mit reduzierter Spannung von beispielsweise 24 V erfolgen soll, kann ein in einem Gehäuse untergebrachter Transformator ebenfalls an einem Unterteil 2 befestigt werden. Das Unterteil 2 und das Gehäuse des Transformators haben dann vorzugsweise korrespondierende Rastelemente.If two or more housings with lower part 1 and upper part 2 are to be installed, then the lower parts 2 can have corresponding locking elements on their end faces be equipped, via which two lower parts 2 are connected to each other can. If an operation of a system connectable by the device with reduced voltage of 24 V, for example, can be done in a housing accommodated transformer can also be attached to a lower part 2. The Lower part 2 and the housing of the transformer then have preferably corresponding locking elements.
