Abstract

An electrical supply assembly (10) which includes an elongated base (11) which receives longitudinally extending conductors (29). The conductors (29) are formed by a plurality of "U" shaped ribs joined by longitudinally extending strips (37). An adaptor (40) is mounted on the assembly (10) and is provided with pins (22, 23 and 24) to engage the conductors (29). The adaptor (40) has a base (45) within which there are located sockets (57) to be engaged by the pins of an electric plug. The sockets (57) are attached to the pins (22, 23 and 24). The base (45) is rotatable so as to move the pins (22, 23 and 24) into contact with the conductors (29).
A shutter member (47) is located within the base (45) to selectively provide access to the sockets (57).
