Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1389816A1] The invention relates to an installation box for electric appliances. The box comprises a bottom (1), two opposite side walls (2), attachment means (3) projecting from the bottom and/or the sidewalls for attaching electric appliances, and engagement brackets (4, 5) at the side walls' upper edges for fastening the installation box to the rims of a trunking or some other socket frame installation opening. The installation box consists of socket modules (10), whose opposite ends are provided with coupling means (11, 12), which establish a preformed locking with the coupling means (11, 12) of another socket module, such that the installation box is infinitely extendable by way of the socket modules (10) to a desired number of modules. The ends of the socket modules (10) can be fitted with connectors (7, 8), which are compatible with connectors (8, 7) present at the end of an adjacent socket module (10) or a cable. The assembled connectors (7, 8) are concealable with a cover plate (22). <IMAGE>
