## Abstract

An electrical user comprising: —a recessed frame (2); —a cover (3) of said frame comprising an electrical device (31); an electric power/data transmission socket (4) applied to said frame (2), the socket (4) being concealed. The cover (3) is movable at least between an open configuration and a closed configuration; in said closed configuration a housing (30) is identified between the socket (4) and the cover (3); in said closed configuration said housing (30) is suitable for housing an electric plug connected to the socket (4).

## Claims

### Claim 1

A recessed electrical user comprising:
a frame (2);
a cover (3) for covering said frame (2);
an electric power/data transmission socket (4) applied to said frame (2), the socket (4) being concealed;
said cover (3) being movable at least between an open configuration and a closed configuration; in said closed configuration a housing (30) being identified between the socket (4) and the cover (3); in said closed configuration said housing (30) being suitable for housing an electric plug connected to the socket (4);
characterised in that the cover (3) comprises an electrical device (31).

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The user according to claim 1, characterised in that said cover (3) is completely removable from the frame (2).

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The user according to claim 1, characterised in that the frame (2) comprises a guide means (22) for guiding the cover (3), said guide means (22) allowing the sliding of the cover (3) to pass from the closed configuration to the open configuration and vice versa.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The user according to claim 1, characterised in that the electrical device (31) placed in the cover (3), at least in a configuration in which it is constrained to the frame (2), is electrically powered through at least one electrical contact (21) afforded in the frame (2).

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The user according to claim 4, characterised in that the cover (3) comprises a strip (310) of electrically conductive material; said strip (310) being in electric communication with said contact (21) in a plurality of configurations corresponding to different degrees of opening of said cover (3).

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The user according to claim 1, characterised in that said cover (3) comprises a rechargeable electric battery for powering said electrical device (31).

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The user according to claim 1, characterised in that said cover (3) comprises a front surface (33) on which a user interface (34) of said electrical device (31) is afforded.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The user according to claim 1, characterised in that the cover (3) comprises a wireless data transmission and/or reception means intended to interact with other electrical/electronic apparatuses.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The user according to claim 1, characterised in that said electrical device (31) comprises a domotic control device or a speaker or a wireless charging device for telephones/tablets or a fragrance/pesticide diffuser or a thermostat or a surveillance system or an electrical current consumption detection means.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

A system comprising:
an electrical user (1) according to claim 1;
an additional frame;
the cover (3) of the electrical user (1) being applicable to the additional frame and electrically powered from the outside in a configuration in which it is applied to the additional frame.
