Abstract
A clipping arrangement for clipping an electrical or electro-optical equipment module onto a support rail (1), the arrangement comprising a rigid hook-forming first portion (5) adapted to hook onto a first edge of the rail, and a catch-forming second portion (6) which is adapted to hook onto a second edge of the rail under the action of a resilient return force and which can be driven remotely by a tool blade that is inserted into a remotely located hole-forming driver device (7) provided in the arrangement to enable the blade to act by leverage. The driver device of the arrangement is connected to the second portion on which the device acts via a force-transmitter device (15, 16, 17), it thus being possible to position the driver device remotely from said second position.
