Abstract

A modular assembly comprising a rack composed of side walls, two front and at least two rear transverse support members for the accommodation of one-tier or two-tier module supports. For the accommodation of the module supports which comprise at least one connector there are provided guide rails which are releasably attached to the transverse support members by means of resilient latching members. The guide rails each comprise securing means for attaching a connector by means of a plug. For securing two connectors there is provided in addition to the securing means of the guide rails a snap-on holder releasably attached to an intermediate transverse support member. When assembled the support elements of the individual module supports which are provided with a nose are in engagement with a longitudinal groove in the front transverse support member while the module supports are secured to the rack by means of a securing member which is provided with shock-absorbing profiled sectional members lying in contact with the support elements.
