Abstract

A device for detecting the absence or improper positioning of detachable elements in their supports comprises a system for monitoring the fitting in position of selected elements on a mounting plate provided at its periphery with slots, these slots being associated with obturating-studs. These studs are retractable from the corresponding slots when a corresponding detachable element is appropriately positioned in the mounting plate which is immobilized by means of a safety locking system comprising an index which can be introduced into this corresponding slot after the retraction of the obturating-stud from it, this index enabling to actuate a safety electrical switch.
