| 63 | Low-voltage power breaker with a rating plug | US10415149 | 2001-10-19 | US07092228B1 | 2006-08-15 | Holger Hochgraef; Jeffrey C. Mizener |
| A rating plug may be provided with an electrical coding such that unsuitable identification of the rating plug is not transmitted to the trigger unit, but rather the attempt to make use of such a rating plug leads to a signal. The signaling unit is arranged on the housing of the low-voltage power breaker, or on the trigger unit. Thus, if the rating plug is the wrong rating plug, wrong contact connection and a defective rating plug may be recorded. | ||||||

| 72 | Circuit interrupter with non-symmetrical terminal collar | US377018 | 1999-08-18 | US6084188A | 2000-07-04 | Robert W. Mueller; Thomas A. Whitaker; Wayne C. Sumpman |
| A molded case circuit breaker having separable main contacts and an operating mechanism utilized to cause the separable main contacts to open and close. A trip unit is provided to actuate the operating mechanism in desirable circumstances. The circuit breaker has external terminals which are connectable with an external load and an external power supply. A collar is used to interconnect the circuit breaker terminals with the load and power supply. The terminal collar in this case is non-symmetrical. The non-symmetrical collar provides two functions: the first function is that the path of electrical continently between adjacent collars is enlarged for higher voltage applications because of the non-symmetrical nature of each collar; secondly, the circuit breaker case has a seat therein which has the same cross-section as the non-symmetrical collar, so that the collar can only be inserted therein in one cross-sectional orientation. | ||||||
| 73 | Electromagnetic contactor with displaceable bobbin | US57989 | 1998-04-09 | US5933064A | 1999-08-03 | Peter Hilfiker |
| A contactor includes an upper housing (1) for contact parts and a lower bobbin (5) that bears a coil and can be placed therein in an initial position or in a position displaced by 180 degrees. The coil terminals (6, 7) lie next to each other on one side of the bobbin (5). Before the assembly of the bobbin (5) in the housing (1, 4), at least two male parts (2, 3) comprising terminal pins, and at least one female part (8, 9) comprising a hole that is intended to receive one of the male parts (2 or 3), are molded on at the areas that will subsequently border each other. In order to arrange the coil terminals (6, 7) on one side of the contactor, the male part (2 or 3) that does not act in conjunction with a female part (8, 9) in this position must be broken off prior to assembly. In order to arrange the coil terminals (6, 7) on the other side of the contactor that is turned away by 180 degrees, the other male part (2 or 3) must be broken off. Advantageously, in this arrangement the coil terminals always lie unmistakably at the predetermined, accessible side of the uniformly manufactured contactor. | ||||||

| 78 | Circuit breaker with interchangeable rating adjuster and interlock means | US68771 | 1979-08-21 | US4298852A | 1981-11-03 | Alfred E. Maier; Alan B. Shimp; David J. Uram |
| A circuit breaker comprises an adjustable trip unit having electronic circuitry for initiating a tripping command upon detection of overcurrent conditions. The trip unit includes an externally accessible interchangeable plug-in rating adjuster removably supported on the housing of the circuit breaker by a threaded rod and tube. An interlock mechanism cooperates with the trip bar of the circuit breaker and secured mechanism to insure that only when a compatible rating adjuster is properly seated in the housing and the threaded rod is completely engaged within the threaded tube will the circuit breaker mechanism be removed from the trip-free condition. Coordination of a proper rating adjuster with a corresponding trip unit and circuit breaker is achieved by coordinating the lengths of the rod and tube and the position of the threaded portions thereof such that only a rating adjuster which is electrically compatible with a particular circuit breaker and trip unit will properly engage the threads of the tube to remove the circuit breaker from the trip-free condition. | ||||||
