Circuit breaker switching mechanism

Abstract

Abstract PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To miniaturize a switching mechanism by reducing a dedicated space for toggle link. SOLUTION: A first link 11 and a second link 12 of a toggle link 15, which are connected to each other by a toggle shaft 10, are positioned between a connection point (shaft 13) of the first link 11 connected to a fixed part such as a latch, which his not shown in a figure, and a connection point (shaft 14) of the second link 12 connected to a handle lever 9 of a switching spring 16, of which one end is wrapped around the toggle shaft 10, so that both the links 11, 12 are nearly overlapped with each other. With this structure, height dimension of the toggle link 15 is housed within a range of the second link 12, and the first link 11 is turned a little in front or rear of the second link 12 through the switching operation, and a dedicated space for the toggle link 15 can be reduced.
