Abstract:
1. A suspending arm for an electrical appliance in particular for the equipment in an operating room, said suspending arm comprising a multifunction head provided with main mechanical and electrical connectors intended to cooperate respectively with secondary mechanical and electrical connectors of said electrical appliance in order to ensure removable mechanical and electrical connections between said electrical appliance and said multifunction head, wherein said main mechanical connector comprises a main fixed case arranged so as to define a main slide transversal to the longitudinal axis of said suspending arm and defining a main housing provided with a main frontal opening, wherein said main electrical connector comprises at least one main electrical plug coupled with actuation means arranged so as to move said plug longitudinally between a retracted position in which it is retracted into said main housing and allows the engagement of said main and secondary mechanical connectors and an advanced position in which it protrudes at least partly through said main frontal opening so as to be engaged with said secondary electrical connector and to electrically connect said main and secondary electrical connectors to one another, wherein said main electrical plug is prolonged by at least one guiding finger extending perpendicularly to said longitudinal axis, said guiding finger being arranged so as to extend through a longitudinal groove in the wall of said main case and to move in a cam groove in a cam able to swivel with respect to said main case so that the swiveling of said cam groove with respect to said main case causes said main electrical plug to move between its retracted and advanced positions.
