Abstract
The invention relates to a holding device for holding at least one optical plug that can be coupled with a coupling partner in an optical coupling system. According to the invention, the holding device comprises an inner holding part (11) into which the plug (3) can be locked and an outer holding part (12) in which the inner holding part (11) is arranged so as to be rotatable and laterally displaceable. The holding device enables a coupling of an optical plug with a coupling partner even for the case in which the coupling partner is situated with an imprecise position.
Claims10
Holding device for holding at least one optical plug that can be coupled with a coupling partner in an optical coupling system, characterized in that the holding device comprises an inner holding part (11) into which the plug (3) can be locked and an outer holding part (12) in which the inner holding part (11) is arranged so as to be rotatable and laterally displaceable.
Holding device according to at least one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the holding device (1) holds at least two plugs (3) that are respectively fixed in an inner holding part (11), and the outer holding part (12) is fashioned in one piece and with receive openings (121, 122) for receiving a respective inner holding part (11), whereby each inner holding part (11) is arranged in the respective receive opening of the outer holding part (12) so as to be rotatable and laterally displaceable.
Holding device according to at least one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the outer holding part (12) is provided on its outer side with a ribbing (125).
Holding device according to least one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the outer holding part (12) is of essentially cuboidal construction.
Holding device according to at least one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the inner holding part (11) comprises a locking element (113) that works together with complementary structures (37a) of a plug (3) for the locking in or locking out of the plug (3).
