  • Publication number: 20210222715
    Abstract: A fastening assembly for electric and/or electronic devices that can be built in includes a frame (2) and claws (3) adapted to secure the frame (2) to the wall or box where it is built-in, showing at least two claws (3) of which at least one is flexible and independent from the frame (2) and can be joined to the frame (2) by temporarily deforming the claw (3) generating when joined to the frame (2) at least three unaligned bearing points between the claw (3) and the frame (2). The frame (2) includes at least one hollow (21) and at least two supporting points (20), and the claw (3) two bearing points (30), can be introduced in the hollow (21) of the frame (2) and when the claw (3) is released, the the bearing points (30) or clipping flanges are coincident with the supporting points or mortises (20) of the frame (2).

  • Patent number: 11062860
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electric switch defining a front surface and including at least two rocker keys, which rock about a corresponding rocker axis, and at least one base provided with at least two operating points for electrical connection and disconnection located at a point corresponding to the center of the corresponding key, where the rocking of the keys presses on the corresponding at least one operating point and causes the electrical connection or disconnection, wherein the key comprises has two sections separated by the rocker axis, a first transmission section of the operating force and a second section that does not transmit the operating force to the operating point, and in that the rocker axes of the at least two keys are parallel to each other.

  • Patent number: 10991525
    Abstract: The electric switch comprises at least one key (4) that pivots about a pivoting axis (5) and a base (2) provided with at least one electric connection and disconnection actuation point (3), so that the pivoting of the key 4 causes the application of pressure to at least one actuation point 3 and causes the electric connection or disconnection, and it is characterized in that the base (2) comprises at least one pivoting actuator (6). A low-cost mechanical type electric switch is obtained which automatically returns to its rest position, and which for the user has the same sensation as an electronic type electric switch.

  • Publication number: 20200321759
    Abstract: A frame is provided with at least two holes (12, 15) to fasten electrical and/or electronic devices. The frame includes a single body having fastening means to be fastened on at least one flush-mounted box (21), and that includes a first part incorporating a hole (12) intended to be fastened on a flush-mounted box (21) by fastening means adapted to fasten the frame (1) on the flush-mounted box (21) and a second part incorporating a hole (15) that is not associated to a flush-mounted box (21). The frame (1), at least on the part incorporating the hole (15) that is not associated to a box (21) shows at least a separator element (16) supporting the frame (1) on the wall on which it is to be installed. The separator element (16) is constituted by the frame (1) itself folded creating a flap or rim, the separator element (16) spanning on the whole or part of the perimeter of the frame (1).

  • Publication number: 20190295789
    Abstract: The electric switch comprises at least one actuation point (3) for electric connection and disconnection, so that the application of pressure to said actuation point (3) causes the displacement of a shaft (1), which rotates a pivoting contact (8) which causes the electric connection or disconnection, and it is characterized in that said shaft (1) is associated with a connecting rod (9), which transmits the rotational movement to said pivoting contact (8). It allows the sensation of the user to be the same as an electronic switch, although in reality it is a mechanical switch, since the pressure to be exerted on the key is similar to the electric switches of this type with electronic mechanism.
