Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018192617A1] The invention relates to the field of retaining frames (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) for modules (9) and in particular retaining frames (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) for a plug connector for receiving identical or different modules (9). The aim of the invention is to provide a retaining frame (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) which can be equipped in an installed state having little or no additional space about the retaining frame (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7). According to the invention, a base frame (111, 211, 311, 411, 511, 611, 711) which defines a plane transversally to a direction of insertion of a module (9) in the holding frame (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) and respectively comprises opposing front faces (112, 212, 312, 412, 512, 612, 712) and side walls (113, 213, 313, 413, 513, 613, 713), and a fixing element (120, 220, 320, 420, 520, 620, 720) which is mounted on a side wall (113, 213, 313, 413, 513, 613, 713) of the base frame (111, 211, 311, 411, 511, 611, 711) and which deforms between an insertion state, which enables the module (9) to be inserted in the insertion direction into the holding frame (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7), and a holding state in which an inserted module (9) is fixed by a catch (91) of the module (9) and the fixing element (120, 220, 320, 420, 520, 620, 720) is fixed at least along an insertion direction, wherein the fixing element (120, 220, 320, 420, 520, 620, 720) is designed such that a change of a movement of at least one fixing arm (121, 221, 321, 421, 521, 621, 721) of the fixing element (120, 220, 320, 420, 520, 620, 720) occurs in the longitudinal direction of the side wall (113, 213, 313, 413, 513, 613, 713).
