Plug-in module for plugging in and/or pulling out of a module rack

1. A plug-in module, designed to be inserted into and/or pulled out of a module rack provided with at least one front stop edge, comprising a lever pull with a handle arm and lever arm which is positioned pivoting in a frontal region of the plug-in module, the plug-in module comprising:

a locking lever is attached such that it can rotate on the handle arm of the lever pull;

the locking lever is provided with an elastic locking tab;

a corresponding locking profile is provided in the frontal region of the plug-in module and

the locking tab engages behind the locking profile if the lever pull is completely pivoted out, thus preventing the lever pull from pivoting.

2. The plug-in module according to claim 1 , wherein a face plate comprises an angled, essentially level side part with a comer region that is designed as locking profile.

3. The plug-in module according to claim 1 , wherein a corner piece is provided in the comer region of a face plate on which the lever pull is positioned pivoting and on which the locking profile is formed.

4. The plug-in module according to claim 1 , wherein

the locking lever comprises a detent for locking in place the completely pivoted-in lever pull and the locking tab is attached to the detent.

5. The plug-in module according to claim 4 , wherein the detent activates a switch for the active/passive switching of the plug-in module once the plug-in module is completely inserted.

6. The plug-in module according to claim 4 , wherein the detent is provided with a detent nose which can be made to engage behind a detent edge in the frontal region of the plug-in module.

7. The plug-in module according to claim 6 , further comprising:

a face plate with recess which forms the detent edge and through which the detent projects.

8. The plug-in module according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an activation element that operates jointly with the front stop edge of the module rack acts upon the locking tab, such that the lever pull is automatically unlocked during the insertion of the plug-in module.

9. The plug-in module according to claim 8 , wherein the activation element is embodied as extension of the locking tab and rests with pre-tensioning against the lever arm of the lever pull.

10. The plug-in module according to claim 8 , wherein the activation element is positioned on the lever arm, such that it can be displaced in longitudinal direction.

11. The plug-in module according to claim 1 , wherein the locking lever comprises an activation arm.

12. The plug-in module according to claim 11 , wherein the activation arm has a U-shaped cross section and that the handle arm of lever pull can be pivoted between its U-shaped legs.

13. A plug-in module for insertion into and removal from a module rack, the module rack having a face plate, a locking profile and a front stop edge, the plug-in module comprising:

a lever pull, including

a handle arm; and

a lever arm attached to the plug-in module for rotation from an inward position when the plug-in module is inserted in the module rack to an outward position when the plug-in module is removed from the module rack, said lever arm having a pressing shoulder and a tail skid, said tail skid engaging the front stop edge when the plug-in module is inserted in the module rack; and

a locking lever including

an activation arm rotatably attached to the handle arm of said lever pull;

a detent extending approximately perpendicular to said activation arm, said detent projecting through a recess in the face plate when the plug-in module is inserted in the module rack;

a locking tab extending from said detent approximately parallel to said lever pull, said locking tab engaging the locking profile when the plug-in module is removed from the module rack thereby preventing said lever pull from pivoting beyond said outward position; and

an activation element extending from said locking tab toward said lever arm, said activation element pressing against said pressing shoulder when the plug-in module is inserted in the module rack.

14. The plug-in module according to claim 13 , wherein the locking tab is an elastic locking tab.

15. A plug-in module for insertion into and removal from a module rack, the module rack having a locking profile, a front stop edge, and a face plate, the plug-in module comprising:

a lever pull including

a handle arm; and

a lever arm attached to the plug-in module for rotation from an inward position when the plug-in module is inserted in the module rack to an outward position when the plug-in module is removed from the module rack; and

a locking lever including

an activation arm rotatably attached to the handle arm of said lever pull; and

a locking tab engaging the locking profile when the plug-in module is removed from the module rack thereby preventing said lever pull from pivoting beyond said outward position.

16. The plug-in module according to claim 15 , wherein the locking tab is an elastic locking tab.

17. The plug-in module according to claim 15 , further comprising:

a detent extending approximately perpendicular to said activation arm, said detent projecting through a recess in the face plate when the plug-in module is inserted in the module rack.

18. The plug-in module according to claim 15 , wherein said locking tab extends approximately parallel to said lever pull.

19. The plug-in module according to claim 15 , said lever arm further comprising:

a pressing shoulder; and

a tail skid for engaging the front stop edge when the plug-in module is inserted in the module rack.

20. The plug-in module according to claim 19 , further comprising:

an activation element extending from said locking tab toward said lever arm, said activation element pressing against said pressing shoulder when the plug-in module is inserted in the module rack.
