(54) Device for fastening an electrical plug at an inacessible position, in particular in a motor vehicle


(57) In a device for fastening electric plugs 40 at an inaccessible position it is nevertheless important to make it possible to connect the mating connectors 50 conveniently. For this purpose, a two-part fastening device is proposed consisting of a fixed rail part 20 and of a sliding carriage part 30 longitudinally displaceable thereon which carries fittings 32 for the electric plugs 40. In addition the sliding carriage part 30 is provided with a sprung handle 35. The sliding carriage part 30 can be displaced between two positions on the rail part 20, it being possible in a first run-out position to connect the mating connectors 50 especially conveniently to the plugs 40. In the other retracted position on the other hand the plugs 40 and mating connectors 50 connected to one another are at the inaccessible positions 15 in the vehicle. Both these positions are fixed by means of stopping and opposing stopping members and can be rendered inoperative by means of the handle 35 provided on the sliding carriage part 30.
