  • Accessory for immobilizing an electrical device that clips directly into a trunking base section
    Patent number: 6806419
    Abstract: An accessory for immobilizing, an electrical device fitted into a longitudinal opening of a trunking base section and clipped directly to parallel clipping strips flanking the longitudinal opening includes a rigid member which is fitted transversely into the longitudinal opening of the trunking base section alongside an electrical device to stabilize locally the width of the longitudinal opening. The rigid member has on two parallel sides attachment arrangements adapted to cooperate with the clipping strips. The rigid member carries a locking lever one end of which has a bearing surface which bears on one of the clipping strips. The locking lever pivots between two positions, namely a rest position in which the bearing surface is at a distance from the clipping strip and a locking position in which the bearing surface is pressed against the clipping strip, exerting a pressure force thereon to lock the rigid member in position on the trunking base section.
