Patent ID: 7708418

Claim:
Support frame for wall-mounting at least one electrical apparatus, the frame comprising: a substantially plate-shaped frame body that can be fixed to a wall and extending around an opening defining a mounting seat suitable for receiving and holding said at least one electrical apparatus, said frame body having a profile and including a rear side for facing the wall, an opposing front side and at least one edge wall interposed between said rear and front sides; means for fastening to the wall including a plurality of holes passing through said frame body; coupling means including a plurality of coupling channels, for coupling the frame with a cover plate; a plurality of hooking elements projecting from said frame body towards said opening for cooperating with said at least one electrical apparatus for hooking said electrical apparatus to the support frame; a first and a second optical sources suitable for generating an optical signal; an electrical circuit comprising electrical connection means between said first and second optical sources, connected to said sources and operative for providing an electrical power supply signal to said sources; housing means provided within the profile of said frame body for housing said electrical circuit and said sources, said housing means comprising a first inner chamber housing said first optical source and a second inner chamber housing said second optical source; and a channel provided in the profile of said frame body for receiving the electrical connection means, the channel extending along a side of the opening to place the first inner chamber in communication with the second inner chamber, said frame body comprising at least a portion thereof which is substantially transparent to the wavelength of the optical signal emitted by said optical sources and allowing for propagation of at least a part of the optical signal towards the outside of the frame body across said edge wall by passing through said substantially transparent portion so as to project said part of the optical signal onto the wall on which the support frame is fixed when said cover plate is coupled to the frame body so as to frontally cover said optical sources, wherein said cover plate is substantially not transparent to the wavelength of the optical signal emitted by said optical sources.
