摘要： A switch mechanism such as a circuit breaker includes a trip indicator mechanism. The switch mechanism includes a switch contact and a rocker movable between a first position in which the contacts are closed, a second position indicating that an electrical fault has occurred, in which the contacts are open, and a third position in which the switch mechanism has been reset and the contacts are open. The rocker preferably comprises two rocker members hinged together with one of the rocker members having a step formation between a front face and an end face. The step formation carries an instruction regarding resetting of the mechanism and lies substantially flush with the front panel of the circuit breaker housing, with the face of the first rocker member standing partially proud of the front panel, when the rocker is in the second position. The mechanism allows a user to distinguish between manual switching off of the circuit breaker and tripping due to a fault.

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention provide improved overrunning pulleys that overcome one or more of the deficiencies in the prior art noted above. Embodiments of the present invention provide pulleys that are “springy” in the torque direction, yet have a lower effective spring constant (e.g., are less stiff) over a greater angular range. Further, in at least some embodiments, the inventive pulleys use a low cost and simple torque transfer geometry. Further, in at least some embodiments, the inventive pulleys afford significant overrun. Further, in at least some embodiments, the inventive pulleys are radially small in an overall envelope, in order to allow the alternator to reach its highest possible rotational speed, and thus output, during engine idle. Further, in at least some embodiments, the inventive pulleys are more durable, as they offer the aforementioned dynamics in both directions (torque and counter-torque).

摘要： A drive system for a rotary device, such as an automotive alternator compensates for and reduces the effect of sudden bidirectional rotational velocity variations of the pulley caused by sudden acceleration and deceleration of an internal combustion engine without using a one-way clutch. The drive system comprises a pulley comprising a tubular barrel having a plurality of radial projections extending inwardly from its inner surface, and a cylindrical hub that is journaled within the pulley and connected to the alternator shaft. The hub has a plurality of radial projections extending outwardly from its outer circumference which are interleaved between the pulley projections. A plurality of solid resilient polymer spring members are disposed in the cavity spaces between the projections. Upon sudden acceleration or deceleration of the pulley, it rotates angularly relative to the hub and shaft to resiliently compress the polymer spring members, which exert a counter restoring force to eliminate the relative angular rotation.
