Abstract: In order to secure a series built-in unit on the section of a fitting rail (4) and to be able to detach it again therefrom and from the electric collector busbar (2, 5), in the region of a recess (13) on both side of the housing wall of the device is pivotably fitted a U-bracket-shaped coupling component (3) of elastic material which is divided by a slot (7) extending into the two U-arms of the frame-like widened connecting web into a supporting end (8) for the engagement of the fitting rail (4) and an actuating end (9) spring-loaded on the casing (1) lockable and unlockable by swinging in relation to the bearing position (6).

Abstract: An automatic cutout or a power circuit breaker with high current-limiting capacity contains no conductor connections of any kind, has only two weld or solder joints and requires no adjustment. This automatic cutout can be assembled progressively and purely mechanically from a minimum number of piece parts, without inconvenient connecting wires and without additional adjustment. Welding is prevented because the spark is discharge swiftly at the contacts and pressure of the movable contact in its bearing is guaranteed. As flexible connecting wires are dispensed with, fewer movable parts are necessary, and hence contact opening is more rapid. The excess-current trigger or the overcurrent trip is already calibrated and therefore the protective switch requires no adjustment. The excess-current trigger remains calibrated even after numerous disconnections.

Abstract: In order to connect small electric apparatus having for example a two-pin configuration or a European flat plug into any of the international standard plugging systems according to need, a handy pentaprism-shaped connector has on its sides plug pin arrangements (2) for five different plugging systems and contains a revolving body (4, 7) which has in the area of the top and/or bottom surface of the connector sockets for two more plugging systems. These can be manually snapped (8, 9) into contact (3, 5, 6) with the plug pin arrangement (2) of the connector needed at any time, the remaining plug pins being then absolutely deprived of any voltage.

Abstract: A compact equipment protecting electrical circuit breaker having a short-circuit and excess current tripping action as well as a signal change switch for actuating and protecting household appliances, office machines, manufacturing devices and the like, includes a breaker and tripping mechanism which is a combination of a cocking body (5) with an unlatching lever (4) supported therein, a tilting contact piece (6), and a cam lever (14) with the functional inclusion of several spring elements. The combination is mounted on a common axis in a central location below the operating mechanism (1-3) and between the hinged armature system (8) and a bimetal strip (10). The combination is further located or mounted above an arc quenching chamber (12) and above a signal change switch contact device (13) and above the various breaker terminals (15). The change switch has its own terminals for signalling the instantaneous operating condition of the circuit breaker.

Abstract: An electrical full protection circuit breaker for interrupting a current circuit in response to an overload current, or a short circuit current, or in response to an earth leakage or fault current, includes the structural and functional combination of one or several single pole circuit breakers with an earth leakage current circuit breaker. Each circuit breaker has a narrow and compact structure and the same housing contour. The fault current circuit breaker member, which is coupled with one or more single pole circuit breakers, has its own contact interruption elements. Additionally, the fault current circuit breaker is provided in its outwardly located terminal connection zone with a freely accessible summing current transformer which is constructed as a bushing transformer.
