Abstract: An indicator on a stored energy motor operator indicates that the circuit breaker is “on” when the contacts are closed and the handle is in an on position and when the contacts are open and the handle is in an on position. The indicator only indicates that the circuit breaker is “off” when the contacts are open and the handle is in an off position. To achieve these conditions, the stored energy motor operator includes a flag bearing on and off indicia, the flag attached to one end of a connecting bar, the other end of the connecting bar pivotally connected within the stored energy motor operator. A lever is attached to a central portion of the connecting bar at a spring, the lever including a hook portion for hooking onto a pin within the motor operator. When the contacts are closed, thus indicating an “on” condition, the lever remains hooked onto the pin. When the contacts are open, on-off indicator attached to a rotor drive pin within the circuit breaker moves the lever off of the pin. The connecting bar, however, does not move away from the pin until the handle is also in the off position and moves a second pin extending from the handle so that the connecting bar can move in its spring biased direction.

Abstract: An operating mechanism comprises an operating handle movable between on and off positions, the operating handle extending substantially up at a point between said on and off positions; a crank for controlling a contact arm of a circuit breaker to cause the contact arm to move between open and closed positions when the crank moved; mechanism springs connected between the operating handle and crank so that the crank moves when the mechanism springs are discharged and when the operating handle is moved between on and off positions; a trip latch restraining the mechanism springs from discharging unless moved; and a trip lever having a lever arm, the trip lever being biased by a tripping spring to cause the trip lever to extend substantially up from the operating mechanism and move the trip latch and discharge said mechanism springs unless the trip lever is prevented from rotating under the influence of said tripping spring.
