Abstract
This invention has as its object an infrared emitter. The case of a remote control device has a cover (14) doubly hinged around an axis (X--X) around which it can swivel to carry out the push button function that makes possible the activation of an infrared emitter in the case. The case is also hinged around a movable second axis of articulation (Y--Y) around which it is made to rotate when it is desired to replace the direct current power source (18) which is attached to the cover (14). The locking and unlocking means for the opening of the case by swivelling of the cover (14) around the second axis of articulation (Y--Y) consists of the hinge pin (50) of the hinge (42) that defines the first axis of articulation (X--X) of the cover.
