ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for supporting the simultaneous establishment a plurality of parallel, fluid plug connections, contains a holding plate having apertures arranged in at least one straight row to receive junction pieces of fluid lines which are provided with abutments, and a securing slide which can be guided displaceably along one slide direction in the holding plate and has at least one contour which, by displacing the securing slide, can be brought into a position fastening the junction pieces in the apertures. The openings in the holding plate are of non-round constuction such that, after their axial insertion and transverse displacement, the abutments of the junction pieces can be fixed axially with positive fit, at least provisionally, on one edge of the respective aperture. The at least one contour fastening the junction pieces is of straight construction parallel to the slide direction of the securing slide so that the junction pieces can be fastened laterally within the non-round apertures in the position, in which their abutments are in engagement with the edge, by means of the at least one contour of the securing slide. The contour is straight and extends with respect to the edge on the side of the junction pieces facing away from the edge. The securing slide can be displaced relative to the holding plate while maintaining the fastening of the junction pieces. This can be used in an advantageous manner for the arrangement of connection elements for the joint attachment of the holding plate and securing slide on a component, which is to be contacted fluidically with all the junction pieces at the same time, solely in the securing slide.
