Front plug system with lagging end contact arrangement
First Claim
1. A front plug system for a flat component, defining a first end and a second end, comprising:
- a front element including electrical operating contacts and a pivot rest at the first end;
a front plug connector, including electrical operating contacts, which can be plugged onto the front element with a swinging motion to engage the contacts of the front element, the connector further including a supporting arrangement at the first end for hooking the connector over the pivot rest at the first end of the front element;
an end contact arrangement located at the second end of the front plug system, the end contact arrangement including a first contact means on the front element and a second contact means on the front plug connector; and
a closing arrangement located at the second end of the front plug system, the closing arrangement including a first means for engaging located on the front element and a second means for engaging located on the front plug connector, wherein the first means engages the second means subsequent to the engagement of the electrical contacts of the front element with the electrical contacts of the front plug connector, the closing arrangement being operable such that the first contact means and the second contact means are caused to engage subsequent to the engagement of the first and second means for engaging.

Abstract
A front plug system with a lagging end contact arrangement. The front plug system for flat components includes a front element (1) with front plug connector (20) which can be plugged on by a swinging motion. If the front plug connector is plugged on until the point of engagement of a closing arrangement (27, 15) is reached, all operating contacts of the front plug systems arranged in receiving arrangements (3, 24) are already closed. An end contact arrangement (51, 52) arranged opposite the center of rotation of the front plug connector engages only when, after operating the closing arrangement, the front plug connector is plugged completely onto the front element and secured against being pulled off. With the end contact arrangement according to the invention the electrical signals of the operating contacts can be released simultaneously in particular across a control on the flat component.

5. A front plug system for a flat component, defining a first end and a second end, comprising:
-
a front element including electrical operating contacts and a pivot rest at the first end; a front plug connector, including electrical operating contacts, which can be plugged onto the front element with a swinging motion to engage the contacts of the front element, the connector further including a supporting arrangement at the first end for hooking the connector over the pivot rest at the first end of the front element; an end contact arrangement located at the second end of the front plug system, the end contact arrangement including a first contact means on the front element and a second contact means on the front plug connector; a closing arrangement located at the second end of the front plug system, the closing arrangement including a first means for engaging located on the front element and a second means for engaging located on the front plug connector, wherein the first means engages the second means subsequent to the engagement of the electrical contacts of the front element with the electrical contacts of the front plug connector, the closing arrangement being operable such that the first contact means and the second contact means are caused to engage subsequent to the engagement of the first and second means for engaging; and an additional receiving arrangement arranged on the front element for indicator elements which is covered when the front plug connector is plugged on, the additional receiving arrangement including bores in the front plug connector, the bores being in the plugged on state opposite to the indicator elements and making them visible; wherein the end contact arrangement includes a contact counter piece on an insulating body adapted to the shape of one of the indicator elements with electrical leads on its contact surface, and a cylindrical contact pin with an inserted elastic contact piece, with the contact counter piece being mounted on the side facing the front plug connector at the second end of the front element and with the contact pin being supported on the side facing the front element in the bore at the second end of the front plug connector. - View Dependent Claims (6)

10. A pivoting plug system comprising:
-
a front element including a first end, front operating contacts, a first means for pivoting located at the first end, a first contact means, and a first means for engaging; and a plug connector including a second end, plug operating contacts, a second means for pivoting located at the second end, a second contact means, and a second means for engaging; wherein the first means for pivoting is engageable with the second means for pivoting such that the front element is pivotable relative to the plug connector, the front operating contacts are engageable with the plug operating contacts, the first contact means is engageable with the second contact means, and the first means for engaging is engageable with the second means for engaging; wherein the front element is pivotable relative to the plug connector such that the front operating contacts engage the plug operating contacts before the first contact means engages the second contact means; wherein the first and second means for engaging are operable such that the first contact means and the second contact means are caused to engage subsequent to the engagement of the first and second means for engaging; and wherein the first means for engaging is engageable with the second means for engaging such that the operating contacts and the first and second contact means are held in engagement.
