Abstract: The Interconnection Module, has its, origins in the Ornamental Electrical Molding (US Patent 5,367,122). This invention refers to conductor systems of electric current, in particular for exposed installations. The Ornamental Electrical Molding results from combining the electrical functions of the architectural cables with the ornamental features of the architectural moldings. This combination makes the Ornamental Electrical Molding a necessary complement to both types of products. This complementarity requires that this system adjusts its design to the various current architectural styles, a situation that demands a great variety of models. The Interconnection Module, object of this patent, has its origins in this adjustment, and it arises as the element that allows systematizing the standard and non-standard parts of the group. Thus, the Interconnection Module is the main factor that controls the product as a whole, becoming the key that lead all the designs of the Ornamental Electrical Molding.
