    [0001] TECHNICAL FIELD TO WHICH THE INVENTION RELATES The present invention relates to electrical equipment.
    [0002] It relates more particularly to a finishing assembly for an electrical switch and an electrical switch comprising such a finishing assembly. BACKGROUND ART Patent application CN201112225 discloses a finishing assembly for an electrical switch comprising a finishing plate having an opening and a control finger received in the opening. According to this document, a decorative frame is mounted in the opening, at the front of the finishing plate, and carries a mounting member of the control finger.
    [0003] The presence of the decorative frame, however, damages the visual uniformity of the finishing assembly; Moreover, the decorative frame plays both an aesthetic role and a mechanical role, which limits the choice of materials used to make this piece. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION In this context, the present invention provides a finishing assembly as described above, in which the finishing plate is mounted on a flat front face of a subplate which comprises means for retaining the control finger in the opening. Thus, the finishing plate is mounted on a front face of the subplate and can hide the subplate. The material of the sub-plate can thus be chosen for its mechanical properties, in particular for the mounting of the finishing plate and the retention of the control finger, while the material of the finishing plate can be chosen mainly in view of the character aesthetic of this piece.
    [0004] Other non-limiting and advantageous features of the finishing assembly are as follows: the retaining means comprise means for mounting the control finger on the sub-plate; - The mounting means are designed to allow a rotation of the control finger relative to the sub-plate; the opening is an annular space situated between a central part of the finishing plate and a peripheral part of the finishing plate; the retaining means comprise a rear stop element 5 for the control finger; the opening is oblong and in which the control finger has, at the rear of the finishing plate, a space larger than the width of the oblong opening; - The rear stop member and a portion of the control finger 10 have complementary cylindrical shapes; the control finger has a base received between the finishing plate and the sub-plate and a lever which extends forward through the opening; the control finger comprises a main body which extends in the length of the oblong opening and a rod situated between the finishing plate and the sub-plate and which extends along the width of the opening; the front face of the sub-plate is interrupted in places and the finishing plate completely covers the front face of the sub-plate; - The control finger comprises means adapted to cooperate with a trainer of an equipment mechanism. The invention also provides an electrical switch comprising an apparatus mechanism and a finishing assembly as proposed above. The equipment mechanism may in particular comprise means for establishing or interrupting an electrical contact according to the position of a tilting driver and the control finger may then comprise means of mechanical cooperation with said tilting driver. It can also be provided that the sub-plate has a wall which extends rearwardly with a shape complementary to a form of a base of the fitting mechanism; the equipment mechanism and the finishing assembly can then be designed to be assembled by interlocking said wall 30 in said base. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS The description which follows with reference to the accompanying drawings, given by way of non-limiting examples, will make it clear what the invention consists of and how it can be achieved.

Figures 1 and 2 show an apparatus mechanism 100 (here a switching mechanism) of an electrical switch. In the present description, the terms "front" and "rear" will be used relative to the direction of the user's gaze towards the wall wall on which is reported this electric switch. Thus, when the switch is installed in a room, the front will point to the inward side of the room and the back will point to the opposite side toward the outside of the room.
    [0006] The equipment mechanism 100 comprises an insulating base 110 forming a support of the equipment mechanism in a housing such as a flush-mounting box, as explained hereinafter. The base 110 comprises a body 112 from which extends forwardly a side wall 111. This base 110 is open at the front and has a housing adapted to receive the other elements of the fitting mechanism. The body 112 has a front face 112a which defines this housing with the inner face of the side wall 111. The body 112 also has a rear face 112b opposite the front face 112a. The equipment mechanism also comprises a cover 120 which is an insulating part mounted in the base (for example by snapping) and which holds conductive electrical parts housed in the base 110, in particular electrical connection terminals to be connected to the local electrical network. . Conventionally, these electrical connection terminals are automatically connected terminals, so that each of them is operable by a disconnection lever which passes through an opening in the wall of the base 110 to act on a leaf spring of the corresponding terminal adapted to press the stripped end of an electrical conductor against the cage of the connection terminal. Each disconnect lever comprises a control lever 125, carried by the cover 120 and accessible to the user outside said base 110. The equipment mechanism 100 also comprises a brush 141 adapted to tilt around an axis of tilting between two extreme positions, to put in contact or out of contact a movable contact element, for example a movable contact bead carried by the blade, with at least one fixed contact element, for example a fixed contact ground carried by a contact blade electrically connected to one of the electrical connection terminals. The equipment mechanism 100 also comprises a driver 130 pivotally mounted on the base 110 by means of two pins 133 formed on the driver 130 which are respectively engaged in two corresponding bearings 118 formed in the base 110, for example at the top of two protrusions 117 of the body 112 of the base 110, thereby providing a tilting axis of the driver 130 in the base 110. The driver 130 is an insulating part, for example made of plastic by molding, which comprises a connecting part to a control finger, which extends into the housing formed in the base 110 as mentioned above, and a chimney 136 which extends rearwardly in a general direction perpendicular to the connecting portion, at the level of the tilting axis, through an opening 124 formed for this purpose in the cover 120.
    [0007] The link portion of the driver 130 will be described in more detail below with reference to FIG. 3. As clearly visible in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cover 120 is thus mounted in the housing formed in the base 110 between the body. 112 of the base 110 and the connecting portion of the driver 130.
    [0008] The equipment mechanism 100 finally comprises resilient tilting means (not shown), for example a spring mounted in the chimney 136 formed on the driver 130. These resilient tilting means are capable, after crossing a hard point, to bias the brush 141 towards one or the other of its extreme positions as a function of the position of the driver 130. The apparatus mechanism 100 is intended to be mounted in a housing (not shown) intended to to be mounted on or in a wall, according to a projecting mounting or by embedding this housing on the wall. To do this, the base 110 has holes 113 formed respectively in ears 114 which extend outwardly of the base 110 from the front end of the side wall 111: each of these holes 113 is intended to be traversed by the threaded body of a screw (whose head rests on the edge of the hole) intended to be screwed into a corresponding threaded barrel (not shown) of the housing (for example a flush-mounting box), which allows secure the attachment mechanism 100 in the housing. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the side wall 111 of the base 110, here of generally cylindrical shape, has, at several locations on its inner periphery, a claw 115 for cooperating with means for anchoring a set of finishing, as described below, to ensure the assembly of the finishing assembly on the apparatus mechanism 100. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the driver 130. The connecting portion of the driver 130 has the general shape of a disc (whose circumference is essentially concentric with the cylindrical side wall 111) from which four arms 131, 132, 134, 135 extend. A first arm 134 and a second arm 135 extend respectively on either side of the disk in the general direction of the tilting axis of the driver 130 (and therefore to the right of a pin 133). The first arm 134 and the second arm 135 are each provided with a recess 137 (here opening) adapted to cooperate with a complementary portion of a control finger, as explained below. A third arm 131 and a fourth arm 132 extend respectively on either side of the disk in a general direction perpendicular to the axis of tilting of the driver 130. In the example described, the first arm 134, the second arm 135, the third arm 131 and the fourth arm 132 are therefore regularly distributed over the circumference of the disk. Each of the third and fourth arms 131, 132 ends at its free end by a bead 139 projecting forward. The connecting portion of the driver 130 has, at the disk and in the general direction of extension of the third and fourth arms 131, 132, two recesses 138 (here open), located on either side of the center of the disc and intended to cooperate with complementary parts of a control finger of a type other than that mentioned above. FIG. 4 is an exploded view showing a finishing assembly 200 in accordance with the teachings of the invention and the driver 130. The trim assembly 200 includes a trim plate 210, here formed of a peripheral portion 211 and a central portion 212 separated, a control finger 220 and a sub-plate 230. The peripheral portion 211 of the finishing plate 210 has a general outer shape of parallelepiped plate and has a central recess 214, here circular whose diameter corresponds (with the clearance) to the outer diameter of the control finger 220, here annular, so that the circular central recess 214 can accommodate the annular control finger 220 and, in the center thereof, the central portion 212, here being in the form of a disc, as clearly visible in Figure 5 which shows the assembly assembly assembled. In the general plane of extension of the finishing plate 210 (which is parallel to the general plane of extension of the sub-plate 230 as described below), the control finger 220 extends (in mounted position as visible 5) in a line which forms a closed curve (in the form of a circle in the example of FIGS. 4 and 5). In the mounted position and placing itself in the general plane of extension of the finishing plate 210, the central portion 212 of the finishing plate 210 thus extends inside the closed curve formed by the control finger 220 while the peripheral portion 211 extends outside of this closed curve. In other words, the finishing plate 210 comprises an opening (or gap) 215, here an annular space, defined between the inner edge of the central recess of the peripheral portion 211 and the outer edge of the central portion 212, at through which emerges the control finger 220 annular. Of course, according to other variants, provision could be made for the opening of the finishing plate to follow a square or rectangular closed line (or a closed line of any other shape, for example triangular or oval), the control finger , which is received in this opening, then having a suitable shape which extends in a closed square or rectangular curve (or, in general, of shape corresponding to that of the opening). As shown more particularly in FIG. 4, the sub-plate 230 has a plane front end interrupted in several places so that two front portions 231, 232 (a left side part 231 and a lateral part) are defined in this front face. 232) and two central portions 23 233, 234 (a left central portion 233 and a central right portion 234). The assembly formed by the two central portions 233, 234 is separated from the assembly formed by the two lateral portions 231, 232 by an annular space 243 in which the annular control finger 220 is received in the mounted position. The assembly formed by the left lateral part 231 and by the left central part 233 is furthermore separated from the assembly formed by the right lateral part 232 and by the central right part 234 by a generally rectangular opening 244, which is delimited at each of its two ends by an arm of material 239 connecting the left lateral part 231 and the right lateral part 232 and which is traversed at its center by a cylinder portion 240 (clearly visible in the detail view of FIG. 8) connecting the left central part 233 and the right central part 234. As clearly visible in FIG. 6 which has the rear face of the sub-plate 230, each central part 233, 234 is further connected to the corresponding lateral part 231, 232 by means of two bridges 235. Each bridge 235 is formed of a first lateral wall 236 extending rearwardly from the outer periphery of the central part 233, 234 concerned, of a second side wall 237 extending rearwardly from an inner edge of the side portion 231, 232 concerned and a bottom wall 238 substantially parallel to the front face of the subplate 220 and withdrawal relative thereto, and connecting the first side wall 236 and the second side wall 237. Due to its shape, each bridge 235 thus allows to participate in the mechanical connection of a central portion 233, 234 to a side portion 231, 232, while leaving free the annular space 243 mentioned above in particular in the plane of the front face of the sub-plate 230 to receive the annular control finger 220 in this annular space 243. Note also that for each bridge 235, the outer surface of the second side wall 237 has grooves 242 which form the anchoring means intended to cooperate with a corresponding claw 115 of the base 110 of the fitting mechanism 100 so as to hold the finishing assembly 200 on the apparatus mechanism 100 as already indicated. In this regard, the second side walls 237 of the bridges 235 all extend in a cylinder of diameter substantially identical to that of the cylindrical side wall 111 of the base 110 of the equipment mechanism 100 so that, when mounting the 200 finishing assembly on the equipment mechanism 100, the bridges 235 fit into the housing formed as indicated above by the base 110. Despite interruptions of material (annular space 243, generally rectangular opening 244), the front face (formed in particular of the lateral parts 231, 232 and central parts 233, 234) extends over more than half of the available surface because of the dimensions of the sub-plate 230. In other words, in the plane of the front face of the sub-plate 230, the surface of the front face (mainly the solid portions 231, 232, 233, 234) is greater than the cumulative area of the annular space 243 and the generally rectangular opening 244. The face planar front of the sub-plate 230 thus forms a good support for the finishing plate 210, precisely for the rear face (also flat) of the finishing plate 210, for example in view of an assembly by gluing as explained below .
    [0009] On two teeth which extend rearward respectively from the rounded outer edges of the left central part 233 and the central right part 234 which delimit the annular space 243, the sub-plate 230 comprises respectively two pins 241 of generally cylindrical shape (one of which is visible in the detail view of Figure 7) for cooperating with corresponding recesses 221 formed in the annular control finger 220 so that the annular control finger 220 can be rotatably mounted on the sub plate 230, along an axis of rotation parallel to the front face of the sub-plate 230 and corresponding, in the mounted position of the electrical switch, to the axis of tilting of the driver 130 on the base 110.
    [0010] For example, there is provided a lug 245 located at the base of each pin 241 to limit the lateral play of the annular control finger 220. Each central portion 233, 234 also has a window designed to leave a free space, in position mounted to pass the two projections 117 of the body 112 forming a bearing 118.
    [0011] As already described above, the control finger 220 has a generally annular shape that allows it to be located, in the general plane of extension of the finishing plate 210, inside the peripheral portion 211 of the finishing plate 210 and surrounding the central portion 212 of the finishing package 210.
    [0012] Specifically, the control finger 220 comprises a main body 222 forming a sphere portion so that the diameter of the main body 222 at its rear peripheral end (located at the rear of the front face of the finishing plate 210 in the mounted position ) is greater than the diameter of the main body 222 at its forward peripheral end (located at the front of the front face of the finishing plate 210 in the mounted position), which gives the main body 222 of the control finger 220 a shape of barrel that closely matches the central portion 212 of the finishing plate 210, closing even slightly on it forwards. As best shown in FIG. 4, the control finger 220 also comprises two tabs 223 which extend rearwardly from the main body 222. In the example described here, the two recesses 221 intended to receive the cylindrical pins 241 from the sub-plate 230 are respectively formed in the two tabs 223.
    [0013] The control finger 220 finally has two extensions 226, each of which extends slightly rearwards from the rear (here circular) edge of the main body 222, over only a portion of the circumference of the rear edge distinct from those carrying the legs. 223. In the mounted position of the electrical switch (that is to say when the finishing assembly 200 is mounted on the equipment mechanism 100), the rear end of each leg 223 is housed in the recess. corresponding complementary 137 formed as already indicated in the driver 130 (as illustrated by the dashed lines in Figure 4) so that the tilting of the control finger 220 by the user (here around the axis of rotation formed by the pieces cylindrical 241, aligned with the axis of tilting of the driver 130), which further causes a support of one of the extensions 226 of the control finger 220 on the corresponding bead 139 of the coach 130, enter the tilting of the driver 130 and thus the switching of the electrical switch.
    [0014] For the assembly of the finishing assembly 200 as shown in Figure 5, the central portion 212 of the finishing plate 210 is fixed (for example by gluing) on the central portions 233, 234 of the front face of the sub-plate 230; the annular control finger 220 is then mounted on the sub-plate 230 by cooperation of the cylindrical pins 241 and recesses 221 (playing for example on the elasticity of the tabs 223 during assembly). Finally, the peripheral portion 211 of the finishing plate 210 is fixed (for example by gluing) to the lateral parts 231, 232 of the sub-plate 230. The finishing assembly 200 can thus be sold in the form of a product. piece.
    [0015] Note that, in the example described here, the sub-plate 230 (in this case its front face) and the finishing plate 210 (here in this case the peripheral portion 211 of the finishing plate 210) have almost the same external dimensions; it can be provided that the finishing plate 210 has dimensions (length, width) slightly greater than those of the front face of the sub-plate 230 so that only the finishing plate 210 can be seen when the electric switch is seen from the front . The installer or the user also purchases an equipment mechanism 100 of the type shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 and described above and assembles this equipment mechanism 100, as already described above in a case attached in or on a wall. The installer or user then assembles the finishing assembly 200 on the equipment mechanism by simply interlocking the side wall 111 of the base 110 of the equipment mechanism 100 and the outer wall of the second side wall 237. bridges 235 formed at the rear of the sub-plate 230 (the claws 115 cooperating with the grooves 242 as already explained), which also allows the cooperation (already mentioned) of the tabs 223 of the control finger 220 and the recesses 137 of the driver 130 and thus the control of the switching of the electric switch by means of the control finger 220. Note that the finishing plate 210 (consisting of its peripheral portion 211 and its central portion 212) completely covers the front face of the sub-plate 230 (in particular the peripheral parts 231, 232 and the central portions 233, 234 of the front face of the sub-plate 230). In particular, the gap formed between the peripheral portion 211 and the central portion 212 extends to the right of the annular space 243 formed between the central portions 233, 234 and the lateral portions 231, 232 of the front face of the Sub-plate 230. As clearly visible in FIG. 5, only the slice of the sub-plate 230 is thus visible to the user once the finishing assembly 200 has been mounted (via the fitting mechanism 100). on a wall. Figures 9 and 11 show a second example of finishing assembly 200 'made according to the teachings of the invention. This finishing assembly 200 'uses a sub-plate 230 identical to the sub-plate used in the finishing assembly 200 shown in FIG. 4, which is advantageous in terms of production since only one type of sub-plate is used. - Plate 230 is sufficient to achieve finishing sets like that of Figure 4 and finishing sets like that of Figure 9. The subplate 230 will not be described in detail again. In addition to the subplate 230, the finishing assembly 200 'shown in FIG. 9 comprises a finishing plate 210' and a control finger 220 '. The control finger 220 'is shown in section in Figure 10: it comprises a base 222' from which extend forwardly lever 225 'and rearward two pins 221'. The lever 225 'here extends from a central region of the base 222', across the entire width of the base 222 ', while each pin 221' extends from an end region of the base 222 '. In the example described here, the outer surface of the pins 221 'is embossed to facilitate their insertion and retention in the recesses 138 of the driver 130 during assembly of the finishing assembly 200' on the fitting mechanism 100 as explained below. The control finger 220 'has, moreover, in a face of the base 222' opposite the face carrying the lever 225 ', a slight recess 223' located in the central region of the base 222 '. The recess 223 'has a cylindrical protrusion 224' (which extends over the entire width of the base 222 'and, in the example described here, even extends slightly from the sides of the base 222' in the width direction) intended to cooperate with the cylinder portion 240 of the sub-plate 230 (about the cylinder portion 240, see the detail of Figure 8 and the description above). The finishing plate 210 'is generally parallelepipedal in shape and has at its center an oblong opening 215' whose dimensions correspond (i.e., in practice are slightly greater) to the dimensions of the lever 225 '(taken in a plane). perpendicular to the main direction of extension of the lever 225 '). It should be noted that the dimensions of the oblong opening 215 'are on the other hand smaller than the dimensions of the base 222' of the control finger 220 '(taken in the main plane of extension of the base 222') so that when the 225 'lever is engaged in the opening 215' (as in the assembled position of the finishing assembly 200 'visible in Figure 11), the forward movement of the control finger 220' is prevented by the base 222 ' (Which abuts against the rear face of the finishing plate 210 '). The finishing assembly 200 'is assembled at the factory as follows: the base 222' of the control finger 220 'is disposed between the sub-plate 230 and the finishing plate 210' so that the cylindrical protrusion 224 'cooperates with the cylinder portion 240 and the lever 225 'passes through the oblong opening 215'.
    [0016] The finishing plate 210 'is then fixed (for example by gluing) on the front face of the sub-plate 230, that is to say here on the lateral parts 231, 232 as on the central parts 233, 234 of the front face of the sub-plate 230. The finger 220 'is then retained between the sub-plate 230 and the finishing plate 210' and the finishing assembly 200 'can be sold as a monobloc product. The finishing assembly 200 'is designed to be mounted on an apparatus mechanism 100 such as that described above with particular reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. Indeed, as already indicated, the sub-plate 230 of the 200 'finishing assembly is identical to that used for the finishing assembly 200 visible in Figures 4 and 5. The finishing assembly 200' can be mounted on the fitting mechanism 100 by cooperation between the outer wall of the second side wall 237 of the bridges 235 (subplate side 230) and the side wall 111 of the base 110 (equipment mechanism side 100) as already explained above with respect to the assembly of the finishing assembly 200. the finishing assembly 200 'is mounted on the equipment mechanism 100, the two pins 221' of the control finger 220 'are respectively housed in the two recesses 138 of the driver 130. Thus, by action on the lever 225 'of the control finger 220', the user ur can control the tilting of the driver 130 and consequently the switching of the electrical switch. Note that, as in the case of the finishing assembly 200, the finishing plate 210 'completely covers the front face of the sub-plate 230 (in particular the peripheral parts 231, 232 and the central parts 233, 234 of the front face of the sub-plate 230). In particular, the oblong opening 215 'extends to the right of the generally rectangular opening 244 formed in the front face of the sub-plate 230, at the level of the cylinder portion 240. As can be seen clearly in FIG. the slice of the sub-plate 230 is visible to the user once the finishing assembly 200 'mounted (through the equipment mechanism 100) on a wall wall. On the other hand, the cylindrical protrusion 224 'and the cylinder portion 240 have complementary shapes (the inner diameter of the cylinder of the cylinder portion 240 corresponding to the outer diameter of the cylinder of the cylindrical protrusion 224') so that define an axis of rotation of the control finger 220 'relative to the sub-plate 230; this axis is positioned to be identical to the tilting axis of the driver 130 in the base 110. Figures 12 and 14 show a third example of a finishing assembly 200 "made according to the teachings of the invention. This finishing assembly 200 "uses a sub-plate 230 identical to the subplate used in the finishing assembly 200 shown in Figure 4 and in the finishing assembly 200 'shown in Figure 9. As already indicated, this is advantageous in terms of production since only one type of subplate 230 is sufficient to produce separate finishing assemblies, such as those of FIGS. 4, 9 and 12. The sub-plate 230 will therefore not be described in detail. again. In addition to the sub-plate 230, the finishing assembly 200 "shown in FIG. 12 comprises a finishing plate 210" and a control finger 220 ".
    [0017] The control finger 220 "is shown in section in FIG. 13: it comprises an oblong main body 222" and has, at the rear face of the main body 222 ", two pins 221" and a cylindrical rod 224 ". main body 222 "is of generally elongated shape, its length extending from top to bottom in the mounted position of the finishing assembly 200", as shown in FIG. 14. The cylindrical rod 224 "is located in a central region of the finger 220 "(in the length direction of the main body 222") with its cylinder axis perpendicular to the length of the main body 222 ". The cylindrical rod 224" is intended to cooperate with the cylinder portion 240 of the plate 230, here over the entire length of the cylinder portion 240, so that the cylindrical rod 224 "protrudes on either side of the width of the main body 222". As in the previous embodiment, the outer surface of the pins 221 "is embossed to facilitate their insertion and retention in the recesses 138 of the driver 130 when mounting the trim assembly 200" on the fitting mechanism. 100 as explained below. The finishing plate 210 "is generally parallelepipedal in shape and has in its center an oblong opening 215" whose length extends vertically (when the finishing assembly is mounted on a vertical wall wall as shown in Figure 14) so receiving the main body 222 "of the control finger 220". For this purpose, the dimensions of the oblong aperture 215 "correspond (i.e., in practice are slightly greater) to the dimensions of the main body 222" of the control finger 220 ".
    [0018] It is noted that the width of the oblong opening 215 "is on the other hand less than the length of the cylindrical rod 224" (which exceeds as already indicated on both sides of the width of the main body 222 ") so that, when the main body 222 "is placed in the opening 215" (as in the assembled position of the finishing assembly 200 "visible in FIG. 14), the forward movement of the control finger 220" is prevented by the 224 "cylindrical rod (which abuts against the rear face of the 210" trim plate) The 200 "trim assembly is assembled at the factory as follows: the control finger 220" is arranged in the oblong opening 215 "(the cylindrical rod 224" being located at the rear of the finishing plate 210 ") and the sub-plate 230 is attached to the rear of the finishing plate 210 'so that the cylindrical rod 224" cooperates with the cylinder portion 240. The finishing plate 210 "is then fixed (for example p gluing) on the front face of the sub-plate 230, that is to say here on the lateral parts 231, 232 20 as on the central parts 233, 234 of the front face of the sub-plate 230. control finger 220 "is then retained between the sub-plate 230 and the finishing plate 210" and the finishing assembly 200 "can be sold as a monobloc product to installers and users. It should be noted that the control finger 220 "is however free to pivot about the axis formed by the cooperation of the cylindrical rod 224" and the cylinder portion 240, in particular because the control finger 220 "is received at the level of the sub-plate 230 in the generally rectangular opening 344. The finishing assembly 200 "is designed to be mounted on an apparatus mechanism 100 such as that described above with particular reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. As already indicated, the sub-plate 230 of the finishing assembly 200 "is identical to that used for the finishing assembly 200 visible in FIGS. 4 and 5. The finishing assembly 200 "can therefore be mounted on the equipment mechanism 100 by cooperation between the outer wall of the second side wall 237 of the bridges 235 (subplate side 230) and the side wall 111 of the base 110 (equipment mechanism side 100) as already explained above about the assembly of the finishing assembly 200. When the finishing assembly 200 "is mounted on the fitting mechanism 100, the two pins 221" of the control finger 220 "are respectively housed in the two recesses 138 of the coach 130. Thus, by action on the control finger 220 ", the user can control the tilting of the driver 130 and consequently the switching of the electric switch. Note that the cylindrical rod 224 "and the cylinder portion 240 have complementary shapes (the inner diameter of the cylinder of the cylinder portion 240 corresponding to the outer diameter of the cylinder of the cylindrical rod 224") so that they define a the axis of rotation of the control finger 220 "relative to the sub-plate 230, this axis is positioned to be identical to the axis of tilting of the driver 130 in the base 110.
    [0019] Moreover, as in the case of finishing assemblies 200 and 200 ', the finishing plate 210 "completely covers the front face of the sub-plate 230 (in particular the peripheral parts 231, 232 and the central parts 233, 234 of the In particular, the oblong opening 215 "extends to the right of the generally rectangular opening 244 formed in the front face of the subplate 230 (over most of the length of it). As clearly visible in FIG. 14, only the slice of the sub-plate 230 is thus visible to the user once the finishing assembly 200 "has been mounted (via the fitting mechanism 100) on a wall wall. 25
