Holding frame and method for producing same

A method for producing a holding frame for holding plug connector modules and for installing in a plug connector casing or for screwing onto wall surfaces,

• wherein the plug connector modules are insertable into the holding frame and a holding arrangement on the plug connector modules cooperates with recesses provided on opposite side parts of the holding frame,
• characterized in that the holding frame comprises two halves articulatedly connected to each other, wherein the holding frame separates along a line parallel to the side parts of the frame,
• said method comprising the steps of:
• forming the frame halves with recesses formed as laterally closed openings in the side parts of the holding frame, and
• joining together the frame halves, wherein hinges are arranged after said joining in fastening ends of the holding frame in such a way that when the holding frame is screwed onto a fastening surface the frame parts are oriented in such a way that the side parts of the holding frame are oriented at right angles to the fastening surface and one or more inserted plug connector modules are connected interlockingly to the holding frame by the holding arrangement,
• wherein the fastening ends each have a fastening section extending in the screwed-on state parallel to the fastening surface,
• wherein
• the frame halves are formed such that one frame half has a projection in at least one fastening section, which protrudes in the direction of the other frame half and which engages with a recess in the fastening section of the other frame half such that in the joined state any lateral displacement of the side parts is prevented, and
• wherein joining includes elastic deformation of at least one frame half to arrange the hinges.
