Abstract:
1. An apparatus for detachable mechanical and electrical and/or optical connection of a recording appliance to an imaging apparatus or a replay appliance, wherein a mounting board and an insert board are provided, guides being formed on two opposite first and second sides of the mounting board and making an interlocking connection with the insert board, which insert board can be pushed into the guides from a third side on a plane parallel to the mounting board, wherein first electrical and/or optical contacts are provided on a fourth side of the mounting board and are connected to second electrical and/or optical contacts, which second electrical and/or optical contacts are provided on the insert board, wherein the electrical and/or optical connection is established when the insert board has been pushed essentially completely into the guides on the mounting board, wherein the distance between the guides, which are provided on the first and second side of the mounting board and the corresponding first and second sides of the insert board which engage in the guides is larger on the respective third side than on the fourth side, wherein the mounting board is open in a direction orthogonal to the plane parallel to the mounting board such that the insert board can be placed between the guides through the opening, wherein the interlocking connection exists only when the insert board has been at least partially pushed into the guides on the mounting board.
