  • Patent number: 8121279
    Abstract: The discussion unit (10) for use in a conference system is disclosed, which is adapted to be connected to at least one second discussion unit (10). The discussion unit (10) comprises an essentially closed casing (410) and at least one exchangeable portion (420). The at least one exchangeable portion (420) is removably mounted to the casing (410) and at least partially covers at least one outside part (424, 412) of the casing (410). The invention allows for an easy first installation of the exchangeable portion (420). Nevertheless, after installation, the exchangeable portion (420) is difficult to remove by a user (preventing unintended removal or removal by vandalism or “play instinct”), but allowing for an easy exchange of the exchangeable portion (420) by an installer and/or a service technician.

  • Patent number: 7793901
    Abstract: In the daily live electrical devices are used in connection with a plurality of applications like telephone systems, computer systems and so on. These electrical devices should be mounted to a support to keep order within such electrical or electronic systems and thus achieve systems comprising electrical devices with a reproducible output and which are reliable and easy to maintain. A multifunctional mounting bracket 1 for an electrical device 25 is proposed comprising means for mounting 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19 the electrical device 25 on a first support whereby a first mounting angle between the electrical device 25 and the first support is defined and for mounting the electrical device 25 on an alternative second support whereby a second mounting angle between the electrical device and the second support is defined, and whereby the second mounting angle is different from the first mounting angle.
