Abstract:
1. An electrical distribution system comprising or including an insulating track, an electrically conducting track electrically insulated by said insulating track and being connectable to an electric power supply, one or more primary electric power take off sockets for receiving in electrical contact therewith an electric plug when inserted therein, and at least one carriage for electrically connecting the track to a respective power take off socket, the at least one carriage being electrically connectable to said respective power take off socket by means of electrical contacts engageable via a push fit said at least one carriage being electrically connectable to the electrically conducting track by means of further contacts and said at least one carriage being adapted to be selectively positioned therealong, said at least one carriage also including locking means whereby said respective socket may be selectively locked in place along the electrically conductive track, thereby to position and reposition as required said respective socket, the system being characterised in that said respective socket cooperates with said at least one carriage to lock said at least one carriage in position on the insulating tract to thereby releasably lock said at least one carriage in place.
