  • the locating portion 20 of the housing 11 forms, on the front, delimited by the shoulder 24, a facet 26, and it has, projecting therefrom, on the one hand, longitudinally, a rib 28 , of which, longitudinally, the profile is trapezoidal, and, on the other hand, transversely, at the end of this rib 28 opposite to the shoulder 24 and therefore corresponding to the engagement of the protective cover mark 21, a boss 29 of which, longitudinally, the profile is in ratchet tooth, with its steep side facing the side of the shoulder 24, and therefore of the rib 28, and its gently sloping side facing the side opposite this shoulder 24.
  • the rib 28 affects only the middle part of the facet 26, while the boss 29 extends over the entire width of the latter.
  • Both are formed half on the shell 17A of the housing 11 and half on its shell 17B, on either side of the joint plane 18.
  • the height H1 of the boss 29 relative to the facet 26 is greater than that, H2, of the running part of the rib 28.
  • the rib 28 forms, with the boss 29, a recess 30, and, with the shoulder 24, a recess 32.
  • the shoulder 24 continues, laterally, on either side of the facet 26, until it joins, by widely-rounded connecting leaves 33, the floor 34 of the grooves 25.
  • d3 be the distance from this floor 34 with respect to the current portion of the front face 13.
  • the protective cover mark 21 which is made of transparent material, comprises two sills 35 by which it is adapted to engage, slidingly, on the marking portion 20 of the modular device 10, parallel to the main faces 16A, 16B of the housing 11 thereof.
  • these sills 35 each have a projecting angle 36 towards the other, for cooperation, in sliding, with the grooves 25 of this locating portion 20.
  • the height e1 of these stringers 35, FIG. 5 is made at most equal to the distance d3 specified above, while in practice being slightly less than this distance d3.
  • the thickness, e2, of the stringers 35, FIG. 7, is made at most equal to the preceding distance d2, being in practice slightly less than this distance d2.
  • the marker protection cover 21 is entirely contained both in the overall volume defined by the front face 13 of its housing 11 as in the overall volume defined by the main faces 16A, 16B of this housing 11.
  • the lateral end edge of the sills 35 corresponding to the shoulder 24 of this housing 11 is rounded like the connection fillets 33 extending this shoulder 24.
  • the other lateral end edge of the sills 35 is further rounded in the opposite direction.
  • the marker protection cover 21 On its front wall 38, which connects these sills 35 to one another, the marker protection cover 21 has, projecting from the underside of this front wall 38, at its transverse end corresponding to its engagement on the locating portion 20 of the modular device 10 to be fitted, a boss 39 whose profile, longitudinally, is in ratchet tooth, in reverse, and therefore complementary, to that of the boss 29 present on this locating portion 20.
  • this boss 39 extends only over a portion of the width of the marker protection cover 21, in the central region thereof, and this marker protection cover 21 also has a projection on the underside of its front wall 38, two pins 40, which, each arranged respectively on either side of this boss 39, at a spacing greater than the width of the rib 28 of the marking portion 20 concerned, are level with him.
  • the thickness e3 of the front wall 38 is slightly less than the distance d1 specified above, however, that of the boss 39 and the pins 40, counted from the upper surface of this front wall 38, is substantially equal. at this distance d1 while being slightly less.
  • the marker protection cover 21 has, projecting from the underside of its front wall 38, in the central region thereof, a boss 42, which is largely rounded into a portion of a sphere, and whose thickness is much less than that of the boss 39 and the pins 40.
  • this clearance 43 extends at the edge of its transverse engagement end, in line with its boss 39.
  • the positioning of the marker protection cover 21 according to the invention is made laterally, by simple engagement, by sliding, of the return to square 36 of its sills 35 in the grooves 25 of the locating portion 20 of the modular device 10 to be fitted.
  • the engagement of the marker protection cover 21 is continued until, by elastic crossing of the rib 28, its boss 39 reaches the recess 32 of the marking portion 20.
  • the positioning thus made of the marker protection cover 21 can advantageously be mechanized if desired.
  • the housing 22 formed by the marker protection cover 21 with the marking portion 20 which it equips opens outwards, through a slot 45, on the corresponding lateral face of the housing 11, on the side of this marker protection cover 21 opposite the shoulder 24 of this housing 11.
  • the boss 42 of the marker protection cover 21 then prints on the label 23 a slight curve, which, having regard to the boss 29 of the marking portion 20, is favorable for its retention.
  • the lugs 40 of the latter ensure the drive of the label 23.
