  • Patent number: 8383937
    Abstract: An auxiliary support case for at least one piece of electrical equipment to be wall-mounted is described, such that a mounting seat is defined, which is suitable to receive and hold said at least one piece of electrical equipment. The support case can be removably fixed to a wall-mounted case according to at least two different positions, thereby allowing respective orientations to said at least one piece of electrical equipment.

  • Patent number: 7714237
    Abstract: An electrical apparatus that can be fixed to a supporting frame having a mounting window to receive the electrical apparatus includes a main body having a substantially box-like shape and first fixing elements provided on first and second opposite sides of the body to engage with corresponding second fixing elements the frame and facing the mounting window. The first fixing elements include guiding fixing elements to permit axial and guided sliding of electrical apparatus with respect to the frame in inserting the apparatus into the mounting window. The first fixing elements further include snap-in fixing elements to block axial sliding of the electrical apparatus with respect to the frame once a predetermined snap-in position has been reached.

  • Patent number: 7615711
    Abstract: Support frame (1) for wall mounting at least one electrical apparatus (20, 21, 22, 23), the frame (1) comprising: a surround casing (4) for wall fixing, enclosing an opening (5) that defines a assembly housing adapted to accepting and retaining said at least one electrical apparatus (20, 21, 22 and 23), the opening (5) being defined by a facing pair of fixing panels (6 and 7) and a facing pair of connecting panels (9 and 10) with ends attached to said fixing panels (6 and 7) and the fixing panels (6 and 7) comprising attachment elements (8) for mounting said at least one electrical apparatus (20, 21, 22 and 23). The connecting panels (9 and 10) include coupling components (11), adapted to engaging with respective complementary coupling components (12) substantially located on end sections of a divider (13) that can be removably coupled to said frame (1) to subdivide said opening.

  • Patent number: 7602619
    Abstract: The present invention refers to a support frame (2) for wall-mounting at least one electrical apparatus, the frame (2) comprising:—a frame body (7) fixable to the wall and developing about a window (9) defining a mounting seat adapted for receiving and holding said at least one electrical apparatus; and—fixing means (12) for removably fixing a cover plate (3) to the support frame (2). The support frame (2) is characterised in that the fixing means includes at least one fixing channel (12) exhibiting an end jointed to an opening (13) obtained in the frame body (7), the fixing channel (12) being such as to be capable of receiving, through the opening (13), a corresponding fixing tongue (4), provided in the cover plate (3), the fixing channel (12) including therein relief means (14) that can face a surface (31) of the tongue (4) and pushing means (20, 21) adapted for acting on the fixing tongue (4) for engaging pressure-wise said surface (31) of the tongue against said relief means (14) of the channel (12).
