Abstract:
A module carrier comprising a plug module which is introducible by means of guides in a housing and which is provided with at least one insertion and removal grip in the form of a lever which is journalled on an axle at a front side of the module in order to overcome thrust-in and draw-out forces generated by multiple plugs attached to the module by bracing against a housing profile, a spring-actuated lock at the front side which locks the lever in a rear final position of the plug module and which, after an unlocking of the lever, permits a re-locking of the lever only when the lever is rotated through at least an angle .alpha..gtoreq..epsilon. in a moving-out direction before being moved back again into the rear final position, the angle .epsilon. representing an overlapping by means of which the lock blocks itself in the unlocked position at a guide surface of the lever, and wherein, when the lever is rotated through the angle .alpha..gtoreq..epsilon. and back, the lock is held by the guide surface in an unlocked position.
