Abstract: A circuit breaker design allows for the circuit breaker to have an overall height (i.e., measured vertically along the circuit breaker's exposed outwardly-facing surface in the typical orientation of circuit breaker panels) that is slimmer than achievable with known typical configurations, while at the same time still providing robust power (e.g., voltage) handling and arc interruption capabilities. This is achieved, for example, by providing various components formed from polymer materials (which are generally less conductive of heat than metals), reinforced by metal members in certain areas, if needed, as well as a very particular configuration of a permanent magnet that is employed for enhanced arc quenching.

Abstract: An electrical switch having a transmission linkage which is actuated by a rocker and which is coupled to a slide bearing contacts and which contains a triggering lever cooperating with a latching piece. The technical problem is to provide a switch with a strong latching force and reliable unlatching. The transmission linkage is constructed as a toggle lever, to the toggle joint (13) of which the rocker (14) is coupled and the first lever (12) of which is coupled in a bearing which is fixed to the housing and the second lever (11) of which is constructed as a latching lever for a pivot lever (10), which latching lever is active in a position of the toggle lever above the dead center. The pivot lever (10) engages into the slide (6). A yoke lever (15) is constructed as a triggering lever for the second lever (11) of the toggle lever and as a counterbearing for a pressure spring (26). The latching piece latches the yoke lever mechanically or electromagnetically, and the pressure spring (26) on the one hand pre-tensions in the switched-off position the slide (6) and the pivot lever (10) coupled thereto and on the other hand supplies the tensioning force for the yoke lever (15) to trigger the switch.

Abstract: A bipolar protective switch has a two-piece housing. An electromagnet constitutes the actuating device made either in the form of a zero voltage actuator or an excess current actuator. The armature of the electromagnet drops in the event of a voltage failure or is attracted if an excess current appears, thus disconnecting the switch. The switch can be turned back on again only after the voltage returns or normal current returns by the actuating device. A rocker is disposed on the narrow upper surface between the two pieces of the housing as the actuating member. The electromagnet and connecting members are disposed on the underside of the housing, a portion of the electromagnet being located between the two pieces of the housing. A support of an insulating material, is disposed in the housing upon which support connecting members are disposed. Two fixed contact members located side by side and two movable contacts, as well as a lever which is common to the two movable contacts is swivelable, and is subject to the force of a spring, the lever being connected to the rocker by a yoke. The lever is lockably connected with one arm of a two-armed release lever disposed on the support, the other arm being effectively connected with a release rod of the electromagnet.

Abstract: A rocker switch having a housing and a rocker extending from the housing. The rocker has a first side with a first end and a second end, a second side adjacent to the first side, and a channel. The channel is disposed on the second side of the rocker and has a first end and a second end. A pivot point is disposed on a crank. A pin, disposed on the crank, is located in a first side of the channel. The depression of the first end of the rocker causes a rotational movement of the channel in a curvilinear path around the pivot point, causing a rotational movement of the crank, moving the pin from the first end of the channel toward the second end of the channel.
