Abstract: A compact, lightweight and low-cost operating apparatus for a switchgear include a second cam (50) turned counterclockwise by an electric motor begins to maintain contact with a closing lever (37) at a first angular position (POS1), turns the closing lever (37) counterclockwise to energize a circuit-making coil spring (77), and causes a closing latch (48) to lock the closing lever (37). The second cam (50) further turning counterclockwise becomes separated from the closing lever (37) and actuates a cam switch (156) at a second angular position (POS2) to interrupt an electric current supplied to the electric motor. The second cam (50) further turns due to inertial turning of the electric motor and is braked by a elastic brake member (159) at a third angular position (POS3), whereby the second cam (50) stops within a specific angular range &Dgr;&thgr; of rotation. Despite its simple structure, the elastic brake member (159) can halt the second cam (50) in a reliable fashion.

Abstract: A magnetic disc apparatus reads and writes information on a magnetic disc. The apparatus is provided with a magnetic head positioned so that a reading portion of the head faces the magnetic surface of the disc. The apparatus further includes the shield member having a first side facing the peripheral edge of the disc to isolate the magnetic head from spurious magnetism. The shield is held in a supporting body member in slidable fashion so that shield member may be slid along the line orthogonal to the plane of the disc. The distance across the shield member from the first side to the second side varies along a line orthogonal to the plane of the disc. This thickness determines the clearance distance between the shield member and the peripheral edge of the disc. As such this distance is freely adjustable by sliding the shield member within the supporting member.
