The present invention refers to a support frame (1) for wall-mounting one or more electrical apparatuses, the frame comprising a frame body (2) that can be fixed to a wall and extending around an opening (5) defining a mounting seat suitable for receiving and holding one or more electrical apparatus
The present invention refers to a support frame (1) for wall-mounting one or more electrical apparatuses, the frame comprising a frame body (2) that can be fixed to a wall and extending around an opening (5) defining a mounting seat suitable for receiving and holding one or more electrical apparatuses. The support frame (1) is characterised in that it also includes: —at least one optical source (7.1, 7.2) suitable for generating an optical signal; —an electrical circuit (20, 10) connected to said optical source (7.1, 7.2) to supply it with an electrical power supply signal, —means (16.1, 16.2, 16.3) for housing said electrical circuit (20, 10) and said source (7.1, 7.2), foreseen in said frame body (2), the frame body (2) allowing the propagation of at least one part of said optical signal towards the outside of said body.

The invention claimed is: 1. Support frame for wall-mounting at least one electrical apparatus, the frame comprising: a substantially plate-shaped frame body that can be fixed to a wall and extending around an opening defining a mounting seat suitable for receiving and holding said at least one electrical apparatus, said frame body having a profile and including a rear side for facing the wall, an opposing front side and at least one edge wall interposed between said rear and front sides; means for fastening to the wall including a plurality of holes passing through said frame body; coupling means including a plurality of coupling channels, for coupling the frame with a cover plate; a plurality of hooking elements projecting from said frame body towards said opening for cooperating with said at least one electrical apparatus for hooking said electrical apparatus to the support frame; a first and a second optical sources suitable for generating an optical signal; an electrical circuit comprising electrical connection means between said first and second optical sources, connected to said sources and operative for providing an electrical power supply signal to said sources; housing means provided within the profile of said frame body for housing said electrical circuit and said sources, said housing means comprising a first inner chamber housing said first optical source and a second inner chamber housing said second optical source; and a channel provided in the profile of said frame body for receiving the electrical connection means, the channel extending along a side of the opening to place the first inner chamber in communication with the second inner chamber, said frame body comprising at least a portion thereof which is substantially transparent to the wavelength of the optical signal emitted by said optical sources and allowing for propagation of at least a part of the optical signal towards the outside of the frame body across said edge wall by passing through said substantially transparent portion so as to project said part of the optical signal onto the wall on which the support frame is fixed when said cover plate is coupled to the frame body so as to frontally cover said optical sources, wherein said cover plate is substantially not transparent to the wavelength of the optical signal emitted by said optical sources. 2. Support frame according to claim 1, wherein said frame body is completely made from a material substantially transparent to the wavelength of said optical signal. 3. Support frame according to claim 2, wherein said frame body is made from transparent plastic. 4. Support frame according to claim 1, wherein said electrical circuit includes at least one printed circuit board and wherein each of said optical sources includes an surface mounting LED fixed to said printed circuit board. 5. Support frame according to claim 1, wherein said electrical circuit includes two terminals to receive in input an alternating voltage that can be fed to said at least one electrical apparatus, said electrical circuit also including a circuit section to transform said alternating voltage into a continuous feed voltage for said optical sources. 6. Support frame according to claim 1, wherein said electronic circuit includes switch means connected in series to said optical sources to interrupt/restore said electrical power supply signal. 7. Support frame according to claim 1, wherein said opening has a substantially quadrangular shape and wherein said first and second optical sources include a first and a second opto-electronic devices arranged respectively on a first side and on a second side of said opening which are opposed to each other. 8. Support frame according to claim 7, wherein said first and said second opto-electronic devices are connected in series with each other and wherein said electrical connection means extends along a third side of said opening. 9. Support frame according to claim 8, wherein said frame body includes a channel extending along the extension of said third side, suitable for receiving said electrical connection means. 10. Support frame according to claim 1, wherein the support frame is part of a group of parts further comprising a cover plate adapted to be coupled to said frame body so as to frontally cover said optical sources. 11. A support frame and cover plate assembly for wall-mounting an electrical apparatus, the support frame comprising: a substantially plate-shaped frame body circumscribing an opening defining a mounting seat for receiving and holding at least one electrical apparatus, said frame body including a rear side for facing a wall, an opposing front side and an edge wall interposed between said rear and front sides; means for fastening the frame body to the wall; coupling means for coupling the support frame with said cover plate a plurality of hooking elements projecting from said frame body towards said opening for cooperating with and mounting said at least one electrical apparatus; a first and a second optical sources for emitting an optical signal having a wavelength; and an electrical circuit operative for providing power to said optical sources; housing means provided within the profile of said frame body comprising a first inner chamber housing said first optical source and a second inner chamber housing said second optical source, wherein said cover plate is substantially opaque to the wavelength of the emitted optical signal and adapted to couple to the support frame and frontally cover the emitted optical signal, and wherein at least a portion of said edge wall is substantially transparent to the wavelength of the emitted optical signal, allowing at least a part of the emitted optical signal to pass therethrough and illuminate at least a portion of the wall peripheral to support frame.
