| 20100276262 | APPARATUS FOR MUTUALLY LOCKING TWO SWITCHES, IN PARTICULAR CIRCUIT BREAKERS - An apparatus is disclosed for mutually locking two switches, in particular circuit breakers, with two plungers which move in opposition to one another via a forced mechanical coupling. When one switch opens, one plunger is shifted into its opening position and the other plunger is shifted into its locking position. In order to achieve a maintenance-free apparatus, at least one embodiment of the invention proposes that each plunger has a toothed rack, which meshes with a gearwheel, on which in each case one radial lever is arranged. The levers are connected in articulated fashion to one another via a connecting rod and a stop lever is mounted in rotary fashion on each gearwheel and, when the plungers are located in the zero position, bears in each case against a fixing stop. Furthermore, a driver is located on each gearwheel and bears in each case against a stop face formed on the stop lever, wherein, when a plunger is shifted, in particular when a switch opens, one driver pivots the stop lever towards a spring, while the other driver is removed from the stop face of the stop lever. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20110036700 | APPARATUS FOR MUTUAL INTERLOCKING OF TWO SWITCHES, IN PARTICULAR CIRCUIT BREAKERS - An apparatus is disclosed for mutual interlocking of two switches, in particular circuit breakers. In at least one embodiment, the apparatus includes two plungers which each engage in one of the two switches and can be moved in the plunger longitudinal direction, wherein, when one switch is being switched on, the plunger which engages in this switch is moved by pivoting of a control disk from its nil-point position to its opening position. In at least one embodiment, the apparatus includes a blocking device which blocks pivoting of the other control disk by moving the plunger to its opening position. In order to achieve a maintenance-free apparatus, in at least one embodiment it is proposed that at least one blocking element of the blocking device is moved by the plunger when this plunger is being moved to its opening position, such that pivoting of the other control disk with respect to the other plunger, which is located in the nil-point position, is blocked. | 02-17-2011 |
