    Located on the adapter 4 in one of the two end regions are two compressible tabs 18 which are designed to match the preferably square opening 19 of one of the two side parts 29. The latching edges 20 of the tabs 18 (see in particular the cross section of FIG. 8d in this regard) snap into the edges 21 of the opening 19 when in use and thus create an intimate cohesion between the adapter 4 and the terminal 11.

    Wie aus den Figuren 7 und 8 ersichtlich ist, sind die Laschen 18 in einem der beiden Endbereiche des Adapters 4 angebracht. Diese Ausbildung ist als besonders vorteilhaft zu erachten, da der Adapter 4 und damit die Kassette 1 in zwei unterschiedlichen Höhen bezüglich der Klemme 11 positionierbar sind. Weiterhin erlaubt die vorgeschlagene Ausgestaltung auch, den Adapter 4 und damit die Kassette 1 rechtwinklig zur Klemme 11 anzuordnen (Fig. 9b), wodurch die Einsatzmöglichkeiten der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung erheblich erweitert werden.As can be seen from Figures 7 and 8, the Tabs 18 in one of the two end regions of the adapter 4 appropriate. This training is particularly advantageous to consider, since the adapter 4 and thus the cassette 1 in two different heights with respect to terminal 11 are positionable. Furthermore, the proposed one allows Design also, the adapter 4 and thus the cassette 1st to be arranged perpendicular to the terminal 11 (Fig. 9b), whereby the possible uses of the device according to the invention be expanded considerably.

    Während der Adapter 4 zwecks Verstellung der Position in dem zuvorbeschriebenen Fall vollständig gelöst werden muß, gibt die Fig. 10 eine Ausführungsform wieder, bei der Adapter 4 und Klemme 11 als untrennbare Einheit ausgebildet sind. Die Verstellung erfolgt hier durch kurzfristiges Auseinanderbewegen beider Teile (4, 11) während des Drückens des Knopfes 24, der an dem Adapter 4 über einen Stift 30 und eine Feder 22 befestigt ist.
    Im Gebrauchszustand drückt die Feder 22 das Seitenteil 29 der Klemme 11 fest gegen den Adapter 4, wobei die starre Verbindung durch Rastelemente 23 an Seitenteil 29 und Adapter 4 gewährleistet wird. Um beide Teile (4, 11) voneinander abzuheben, wird der Knopf 24 gegen das Seitenteil 29 der Klemme 11 gedrückt. Anschließend läßt sich der Adapter 4 problemlos relativ zum Seitenteil 29 der Klemme 11 verdrehen. Diese Ausführungsform ist insbesondere für die Verstellung hinsichtlich der Höhe parallel zum Seitenteil 29 der Klemme 11 geeignet.
    While the adapter 4 has to be completely loosened in order to adjust the position in the previously described case, FIG. 10 shows an embodiment in which the adapter 4 and the terminal 11 are designed as an inseparable unit. The adjustment takes place here by briefly moving both parts (4, 11) apart while pressing the button 24, which is fastened to the adapter 4 via a pin 30 and a spring 22.
    In the state of use, the spring 22 presses the side part 29 of the clamp 11 firmly against the adapter 4, the rigid connection being ensured by latching elements 23 on the side part 29 and adapter 4. In order to lift both parts (4, 11) apart, the button 24 is pressed against the side part 29 of the clamp 11. Then the adapter 4 can be easily rotated relative to the side part 29 of the clamp 11. This embodiment is particularly suitable for adjusting the height parallel to the side part 29 of the clamp 11.
