The invention claimed is: 1. Support frame for wall mounting at least one electrical apparatus, the frame comprising: a surround casing for wall fixing, enclosing an opening that forms an assembly housing for accepting and retaining said at least one electrical apparatus, the opening being defined
The invention claimed is: 1. Support frame for wall mounting at least one electrical apparatus, the frame comprising: a surround casing for wall fixing, enclosing an opening that forms an assembly housing for accepting and retaining said at least one electrical apparatus, the opening being defined by a facing pair of fixing panels and a facing pair of connecting panels with ends attached to said fixing panels and the fixing panels comprising attachment elements for mounting said at least one electrical apparatus, wherein the connecting panels include coupling elements adapted to engage complementary coupling components substantially located on end sections of a divider that can be removably coupled to said frame to subdivide said opening, wherein the coupling elements provided on the support frame including coupling channels with a substantially "C" or "U" shaped channel profile, each of said channels having an opening extending partially at least, along the axis of the channel and communicating with said opening, the coupling elements of said divider include "C" or "U" shaped end sections, each of said end sections operative for slidable insertion into a respective coupling channel until reaching a snap attachment position, and the coupling channels include, internally, a flexible tab fitted with a lug for engaging, in said snap attachment position, with an undercut formed on said "C" or "U" shaped end sections. 2. Support frame according to claim 1, in which said divider extends along a principal directional axis and can be coupled to the frame in such a way that said directional axis is essentially parallel to the fixing panels and essentially perpendicular to the connecting panels. 3. Support frame according to claim 2, wherein the support frame is a component of a set of components for wall mounting at least one electrical apparatus, the set further including said divider removably connected to the frame. 4. Support frame according to claim 1, in which the divider has two opposing shaped surfaces, facing a first and second panel respectively of said pair of fixing panels, the shaped surfaces including attachment elements replicating the attachment elements provided on the fixing panels. 5. Support frame according to claim 4, wherein the support frame is a component of a set of components for wall mounting at least one electrical apparatus, the set further including said divider removably connected to the frame. 6. Support frame according to claim 4, in which said coupling components of said divider include housings adapted to accepting tabs fitted to opposite sides of said at least one electrical apparatus. 7. Support frame according to claim 6, wherein the support frame is a component of a set of components for wall mounting at least one electrical apparatus, the set further including said divider removably connected to the frame. 8. Support frame according to claim 1, in which said divider is snap connected to said support frame. 9. Support frame according to claim 8, wherein the support frame is a component of a set of components for wall mounting at least one electrical apparatus, the set further including said divider removably connected to the frame. 10. Support frame according to claim 1, in which said divider serves to divide said opening into two sub-openings of equal size. 11. Support frame according to claim 10, wherein the support frame is a component of a set of components for wall mounting at least one electrical apparatus, the set further including said divider removably connected to the frame. 12. Support frame according to claim 10, in which said divider is coupled to said frame by inserting said end sections from the front of the frame into said coupling channels, the support frame also including stop means to prevent over-running said insert position. 13. Support frame according to claim 12, wherein the support frame is a component of a set of components for wall mounting at least one electrical apparatus, the set further including said divider removably connected to the frame. 14. Support frame according to claim 1, wherein the support frame is a component of a set of components for wall mounting at least one electrical apparatus, the set further including said divider removably connected to the frame. 15. Support frame according to claim 1, wherein the support frame is a component of a set of components for wall mounting at least one electrical apparatus, the set further including said divider removably connected to the frame. 16. Support frame according to claim 1, further comprising: fixing means of said support frame for wall mounting said support frame and said at least one electrical apparatus. 17. Support frame according to claim 16, wherein the fixing means includes a plurality of holes in said support frame each operative to receive a fastener. 18. Support frame according to claim 17, in which said divider extends along a principal directional axis and can be coupled to the frame in such a way that said directional axis is essentially parallel to the fixing panels and essentially perpendicular to the connecting panels. 19. Support frame according to claim 17, in which the divider has two opposing shaped surfaces, facing a first and second panel respectively of said pair of fixing panels, the shaped surfaces including attachment elements replicating the attachment elements provided on the fixing panels. 20. Support frame according to claim 17, in which said coupling components of said divider include housings for accepting tabs fitted to opposite sides of said at least one electrical apparatus. 21. Support frame for wall mounting at least one electrical apparatus, the frame comprising: a surround casing for wall fixing, enclosing an opening therethrough in which an upper edge of the opening and a lower edge of the opening define generally rectangular shapes of a similar size, surround casing forming an assembly housing for accepting and retaining said at least one electrical apparatus, the opening being defined by a facing pair of fixing panels and a facing pair of connecting panels with ends attached to said fixing panels and the fixing panels comprising attachment elements for mounting said at least one electrical apparatus, wherein the connecting panels include coupling elements adapted to engage complementary coupling components substantially located on end sections of a divider that can be removably coupled to said frame to subdivide said opening, wherein the coupling elements provided on the support frame including coupling channels with a substantially "C" or "U" shaped channel profile, each of said channels having an opening extending partially at least, along the axis of the channel and communicating with said opening; the coupling elements of said divider include "C" or "U" shaped end sections, each of said end sections operative for slidably inserting into a respective coupling channel until reaching a snap attachment position, wherein the coupling channels include, internally, a flexible tab fitted with a lug for engaging, in said snap attachment position, with an undercut formed on said "C" or "U" shaped end sections.
