Abstract
The device comprises: [a] a base member having a lower plate; an upper plate; a transverse wall extending between both plates; two first side walls, with a front portion attached to the lower plate and a rear portion associated with the upper plate and capable of being separated therefrom; and windows located in the upper plate and removable therefrom; and [b] a cover member having a front embouchure portion; a rear covering portion; second side walls and a rear wall. The cover member and the base member may be coupled together, defining an embouchure for communicating with an opening of an electrical apparatus; the removal of the rear portions of the first side walls opens a space in which a portion of a base section of a raceway containing electrical conductors may be housed.
Claims7
A device for adapting an electrical apparatus to a raceway, said electrical apparatus (4) having an opening and being provided with binding posts;
- and said raceway (3) comprising a base section (3a) and a cover section (3b) and being for housing electrical conductors (2), characterized in that it comprises:
- a base member (6) having:
- a lower embouchure plate (11);
- an upper plate (12) defining two longitudinal edges;
- a transverse wall (13) extending between both plates (11, 12);
- two first side walls (14), each of which is provided with a front portion extending upwardly from said lower plate (11) and a rear portion extending downwardly from said upper plate (12);
- there being a weakening line in the immediate proximity of said longitudinal edges of said upper plate (12), said weakening line being for facilitating the separation of said rear portions of said first side walls (14);
- and at least one window (19) formed in said upper plate (12) and for being removed from said upper plate (12);
- and
- a cover member (5) having a front embouchure portion (8) and a rear covering portion (9) defining second side walls (15) and a rear wall (26);
- said cover member (5) and said base member (6) being adapted to enter into mutual engagement, in which state they define an embouchure for communicating with said opening of said electrical apparatus (4);
- and in that said removal of said rear portions of said first side walls (14) opens a space for housing a portion of said base section (3a) of said raceway (3).
