Abstract
The locking arrangement relates to fixing a terminal block whose base (6) includes two fixing tabs (1,2) one of which is used in cooperation with a similar third tab (3) for fixing the block onto a supporting section bar with outwardly turned rims (51) and the other of which is used in cooperation with the third tab for fixing the block onto a supporting section bar with inwardly turned rims (52). Said tabs each have a fixing notch (11,21) for engaging one edge of a supporting section bar. The locking arrangement comprises a locking plate (7) slidable transversely with respect to the supporting section bars and having lock notches (81,91) disposed adjacent the fixing notches. A resilient member (61) is provided to allow one of said lock notches to engage under one of said rims. The invention applies in particular to producing connection strips.
