Abstract: There is provided a socket for selectively coupling to a plug. The socket comprising a conforming portion adapted to conform to a first configuration complementary to the plug, wherein the first configuration allows the socket to electrically couple to the plug; and a securing member adjustable to releasably engage at least part of the conforming portion to substantially prevent the conforming portion from changing to a second configuration different from the first configuration, wherein the second configuration substantially prevents the socket from electrically coupling to the plug. There are also provided a plug configured to cooperate with the socket, a plug and socket assembly, a method of setting the socket for selectively coupling to the plug, and a method of resetting the socket programmed to selectively coupling to the plug.

Abstract: The invention relates to an actuating device (1) for an electrical switch device comprising a body (10) upon which is mounted a hand lever (2) that rotates about a main axis (A), cooperating with a transmission shaft (3) able to control the opening or the closing of electrical contacts of the electrical switch device and elastic linking means between the hand lever (2) and the transmission shaft (3). The device also comprises means (7) for locking the rotation of the hand lever (2) with respect to the body (10), used when an angular divergence between the hand lever (2) and the transmission shaft (3) exceeds a specified threshold. The purpose of the invention is to limit the damage to the hand lever and to the electrical device when an operator attempts to return the hand lever (2) to its “Off” position whilst the contacts are welded and to prevent the beginning of electrical arcing if the operator should succeed in unsticking the contacts when rotating the hand lever 2.

Abstract: An actuation device of an electric switching device includes a body onto which is mounted a rotary control handle and a device for locking the rotation of the control handle making it possible to lock the control handle when the latter is in the “Off” position. The locking device includes a locking member that can move in translation along a main axis, a sliding element mounted on the control handle, that can move in translation along the main axis, and that defines an opening that can receive one or more padlocks in a locked position. The locking device also includes an operating mechanism interacting, on the one hand, with a locking member and, on the other hand, with the sliding element to convert the translation movement of one in a predetermined direction into a translation movement of the other in an opposite direction.

Abstract: A mounting assembly for a detection device is provided with a front detection face, a back face, a first side face and a stop side face opposite to the first side face. The mounting assembly includes a removable mounting part having an attachment plate, a stop lip with a stop member cooperating with corresponding member on the stop side face of the device, a click fit member cooperating with a corresponding member on the first side face of the device and an elastic pressure member pressing on the back of the device. The mounting assembly also includes a fixed mounting part which includes a base plate fixed to a mounting plate, the base plate being designed to hold a removable mounting part and the mounting plate being designed to hold the mounting assembly on an arbitrary support.

Abstract: This invention relates to a mounting assembly for a detection device (10) provided with a front detection face (19), a back face, a first side face (13) and a stop side face (11) opposite to the first side face (13). The mounting assembly comprises a removable mounting part (20) that comprises an attachment plate (29), a stop lip (21) comprising stop means (22) cooperating with corresponding means (12) on the stop side face (11) of the device (10), click fit means (23) cooperating with corresponding means on the first side face (13) of the device (10) and elastic pressure means (25) pressing on the back of the device (10). The mounting assembly also comprises a fixed mounting part (30) composed of a base plate (31) fixed to a mounting plate (32), the base plate (31) being designed to hold a removable mounting part (20) and the mounting plate (32) being designed to hold the mounting assembly on an arbitrary support.
