Abstract
A device for plane-parallel attachment of a first module to a sidewall of a second module includes at least one coupling element with clamping projections having beveled end sections. The coupling element includes a guide element with two opposing guide tabs, a locking element, and a stop element, wherein the guide tabs, the locking element, and the stop element abut sidewalls of the connecting element so that the two guide tabs extend from a first opposing pair of the sidewalls, and the locking element and the stop element extend from another opposing pair of the sidewalls perpendicular to the first pair. The first module includes an interlock for captivating the coupling element or elements in the sidewall of the first module, whereas the second module has a receiving part capable of receiving the coupling element or elements captivated in the sidewall of the first module.
