A plug member for the electrical connection of an appliance to a base. The plug member comprises conducting pins, an insulating centering stud and means for locking the plug member on the base. The centering stud is open laterally. The locking means are disposed in the centering stud for projecting therefrom to engage the wall of a centering hole in the base.

This invention relates to a reduction mechanism including two gear trains, of different speed reductions, for rotating one cam, both gear trains having different input gears but a same output gear, said input gears being rotatable by a step-up gear mounted on a pivotable lever and rotatable by a driving pinion coupled to a motor, a second pivotable lever having followers responsive to ramp means provided on said cam for suddenly pivoting said first lever through a spring linked to said two levers and thus moving said step-up gear into engagement with the input gear of one or the other of said two gear trains.

Programmer for electric household appliances, comprising an assembly of programming cams driven in rotation by a reversing cam driven itself by a motor, a timing wheel driven in rotation by the reversing cam via a set of levers, a first cam of the cam assembly triggering off the rotating of the timing wheel and the simultaneous stopping of the cam assembly, a cam surface on the timing wheel triggering off again the rotating of the cam assembly and the stopping of the timing wheel after a timing the period of time of which is determined by a second cam of the cam assembly.

A timing device comprises a contact assembly, an acting switch and a centrifugal mechanism rotated by a synchronous motor, and a rotatable resiliently biased timing wheel. The acting switch, upon energization of the motor, is moved axially in a direction parallel to the rotary axis of the timing wheel by the centrifugal mechanism to a first position for rotating the said timing wheel and opening a contact between a movable contact plate and a first fixed contact plate of the contact assembly. The acting switch is maintained in the first position by the timing wheel, and is moved to a second position for maintaining the timing wheel in position and closing a contact between the movable contact plate and a second fixed contact plate of the contact assembly, whereby, upon deenergization of the motor, the switch is moved axially in the reverse direction to its normally inoperative state and said timing wheel is rotated back under the action of its biasing means.
