Abstract

The invention relates to a device for pulling out a terminal clamp with a fastening section for fastening the device to the terminal clamp and a grip section. The fastening section and the grip section are connected by a pivotable connection. A second fastening device for detachable fastening of the grip section to the terminal clamp is provided on this grip section.

Claims (45)

1. A device for pulling out a terminal clamp, comprising:

a fastening section configured for fastening the device on the terminal clamp;

a grip section; and

a second fastening device provided on the grip section and configured for detachable attaching of the grip section to the terminal clamp, wherein the fastening section and the grip section are connected by a pivotable connection, and

the terminal clamp is configured to mate with the fastening section further comprises:

a housing having two opposing side walls,

a front wall,

a rear wall,

a visible side, and

a plug side, wherein

the visible side and the plug side are situated opposite one another and are aligned across a plug-in direction,

the front wall, the rear wall and the side walls are aligned essentially parallel to the plug-in direction, and

operating openings in the visible side.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the fastening section has a first fastening mechanism configured for releasable attachment of the device to the terminal clamp.

3. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the first fastening mechanism further comprises a first fastening contour in the form of a dovetail.

4. The device according to claim 2 , wherein the first fastening mechanism is on a first edge of the fastening section facing away from the pivotable connection.

5. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the pivotable connection is a film hinge.

6. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the second fastening device is on a second end of the grip section facing away from the pivotable connection.

7. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising a catch hook attached to the second fastening device.

8. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising a grip strap arranged on the grip section.

9. The device according to claim 8 , wherein the grip strap is arranged at an angle to the grip section.

10. The device according to claim 8 , wherein the grip strap has a structured surface.

11. The device according to claim 8 , wherein the grip strap has a ribbed surface.

12. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the device is made of a viscoelastic plastic.

13. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the device is made of a polyamide.

14. The device according to claim 1 , further comprising a second fastening element configured to engage with the second fastening mechanism.

15. The device according to claim 14 , further comprising a catch hook attached to the second fastening element.

16. The device according to claim 14 , wherein the second fastening element fits between the visible side and the front wall.

17. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal clamp further comprises a first fastening element configured to mate with a first fastening mechanism.

18. The device according to claim 17 , wherein the terminal clamp first fastening element further comprises a second fastening contour having a negative dovetail which corresponds to a first fastening contour of the fastening section.

19. The device according to claim 18 , wherein the second fastening contour lies across the plug-in direction.

20. The device according to claim 17 , wherein the first fastening element is on the rear wall.

21. A device for pulling out a terminal clamp, comprising:

a fastening section configured for fastening the device on the terminal clamp;

a grip section; and

a second fastening device provided on the grip section and configured for detachable attaching of the grip section to the terminal clamp, wherein the fastening section and the grip section are connected by a pivotable connection, and

the terminal clamp is configured to mate with the fastening section further comprises:

a housing having two opposing side walls,

a front wall,

a rear wall,

a visible side, and

a plug side, wherein

the visible side and the plug side are situated opposite one another and are aligned across a plug-in direction,

the front wall, the rear wall and the side walls are aligned essentially parallel to the plug-in direction, and wherein

the device is configured such that, when in a closed position, the device is in contact at its grip section with the visible side of the terminal clamp, when a second fastening element mates with the second fastening device.
