Abstract
Electrical apparatus comprising a base which can accommodate a constituent member, and which can be fitted to a holding rail, in particular a top hat-type rail, via a locking device with two opposite fastening catches (30), one of which is joined to a slide (31). A manual unlocking device on the slide comprises a lever (40) pivoting around at least one bearing having an axis perpendicular to the sliding direction of the slide, the bearing being located near the back (21) of the base. The lever (40) cooperates with the slide (31) via a cam device guiding through a slide track an axis (44) parallel to the bearing.
