    摘要: A seesaw type operation unit having a new configuration is provided. A swinging member is capable of swinging in a predetermined direction with a rotation axis at a center. An urging member urges the swinging member to a neutral position. A detector includes a rotating portion which is arranged coaxially with the rotation axis and rotates integrally with the swinging member, and outputs a signal depending on a rotation amount of the rotating portion. An operating member receives an operation from an outside and causes the swinging member to rotate in the predetermined direction by the operation. A supporting member rotatably and coaxially supports the swinging member and the operating member. In a case where the operating member is rotated in the predetermined direction, the operating member pushes an end of the swinging member to rotate the operating member, the swinging member, and the rotating portion integrally with one another.

    摘要: Handle assemblies for circuit breakers are disclosed. One illustrative handle assembly includes a housing defining a first aperture, a seal extending around a perimeter of the first aperture, a handle extending outwardly through the first aperture and pivotable about a pivot axis located within the housing, a shroud coupled to the handle to move therewith and located at least partially within the housing, and a biasing member connected to the handle and to the shroud. The shroud includes an outer surface that faces the seal, and the biasing member biases the outer surface into continuous engagement with the seal throughout an entire pivotable range of the handle.

    摘要: A switch device which is capable of ensuring mounting strength of an additional member while ensuring ease of operation. The switch device has an operating knob that transmits an input operation to a switch unit with an electric contact, and a housing that houses a switch unit. The housing that houses the switch unit has an opening via which the switch unit and the operating knob face each other. The housing has a water prevention wall installed in a standing manner to surround the opening. The operating knob has a box-shaped base member with one end thereof opened. An additional member with at least one insertion portion which is inserted into a through hole of the base member is mounted on the base member. The insertion portion extends to cross a standing direction of the water prevention wall, and as seen in the standing direction, the insertion portion and the opening are located away from each other.

    摘要: A molded case circuit interrupter advantageously employs a circuitry component that is situated adjacent a rear exterior surface of the molded case of the molded case circuit interrupter. Previous circuit interrupters have sometimes employed a non-conductive backsheet of a nominal thickness of 0.062 inches that was adhered to the rear surface of the molded case circuit interrupter in order to electrically isolate screws, posts, and the like that were mounted to and that were exposed on the rear portion of a molded case thereof. The disclosed and claimed concept provides a circuitry component in place of or in addition to the back sheet, with the circuitry component including flexible ribbons having electrical conductors that extend through holes formed in the molded case and that are electrically connected with electronic components that are situated within the interior of the molded case.
