  • Patent number: 12006756
    Abstract: An accessory includes: a façade plate presenting an opening; an accessory support mounted to tilt through the opening between a lowered position in which it extends below the façade plate, and a raised position in which a major portion thereof extends above the façade plate; and a locking system including a locking arm movable between a locking position in which a blocking portion of the locking arm bears against a blocking surface of the accessory support, and a release position in which the blocking portion is spaced apart from the blocking surface, and an actuator button, causing each locking arm to move, which actuator button is tiltable about a tilt axis extending parallel to the mean plane of the façade plate. Each locking arm pivots about a pivot axis perpendicular to the actuator button tilt axis, and a return mechanism continuously urges each locking arm into its locking position.

  • Patent number: 6350948
    Abstract: A support for equipment to be disposed along trunking projecting from a wall includes a body attached to the wall and forming a casing for the equipment which has an opening along its side intended to adjoin the trunking. A trunking cover portion extends from the body, in corresponding relationship to the opening, and covers the trunking locally. The trunking cover portion is formed of at least two separate parts staggered lengthwise across the width of the trunking, disposed end-to-end relative to each other and joining to each other at a junction surface substantially parallel to the opening of the body. Applications include trunking with a relatively small width or height.
