A clipping arrangement for clipping an electrical or electro-optical equipment module onto a support rail (1), the arrangement comprising a rigid hook-forming first portion (5) adapted to hook onto a first edge of the rail, and a catch-forming second portion (6) which is adapted to hook onto a second edge of the rail under the action of a resilient return force and which can be driven remotely by a tool blade that is inserted into a remotely located hole-forming driver device (7) provided in the arrangement to enable the blade to act by leverage. The driver device of the arrangement is connected to the second portion on which the device acts via a force-transmitter device (15, 16, 17), it thus being possible to position the driver device remotely from said second position.
A clipping arrangement for clipping an electrical or electro-optical equipment module onto a support rail adapted to receive a plurality of said modules, the arrangement comprising a rigid hook-forming first portion adapted to hook onto a first edge of the rail, and a catch-forming second portion which is adapted to hook onto a second edge of the rail under the action of a resilient return force and which is actuated remotely by means of leverage from a force-transmitter device comprising a rigid piece elongate in shape connected via a first hinge to a driver device and via a second hinge to the catch-forming second portion, it thus being possible to position the driver device remotely from said catch-forming second portion on the opposite side of the base zone for bearing against the rail from said catch-forming second portion.
An electrical or electro-optical equipment module adapted to be mounted on a rail serving as a support for a plurality of modules, said module including:
