Device for adapting an electrical mechanism to a raceway means for electrical conductors

A device for adapting an electrical mechanism to a raceway means for electrical conductors, particularly to a raceway means formed by a base section having a bottom wall and side walls having respective longitudinal grooves, and by a lid section having two inwardly directed lips for engagement in said longitudinal grooves, the device comprising:

• a support member;
• a casing;
• a closing and covering member;
• and
• a guide member,
• wherein said support member is adapted to be attached to a support surface;
• is provided with a base for receiving an electrical mechanism;
• includes side surfaces, one of which is a recessed surface, for the access of conductors from said raceway means to said base;
• and is provided with first means for coupling said support member to said casing;
• wherein said casing is of substantially prismatic shape defining side surfaces;
• is adapted to be disposed around said support member and said electrical mechanism;
• and (iii) has, on one of said side surfaces, a bight defining first edges and which is adapted to be opposite said recessed surface;
• wherein said closing and covering member has a wall portion defining second edges and which is adapted to be attached to said first edges, closing said bight;
• and a hood portion adapted to cover a portion of said raceway means,
• wherein said guide member includes a rectangular base provided with removable sheet-like portions and adapted to cover a portion of said base section, said guide member also includes retaining teeth that may be inserted in said longitudinal grooves of the side walls of the raceway means, longitudinal fins that may be located below portions of said lid section that are adjacent said portion of said base section, and end plates attached to said longitudinal fins with weakened joints.
