  • Patent number: 6965075
    Abstract: A frame joining structure for electrical and electronic equipment housing cabinets, in which ends of frames are simplified in shape to dispense with complex cutting and which possesses excellent strength and waterproof property. Ends of outer side surfaces (4) of three mutually orthogonal frames (1a, 1b, 1c), which constitute a framework of a cabinet, are cut at two planes of ±45° relative to a plane defined by other two frames to be point-shaped. These ends are joined together directly or through a corner member (20) having the same configuration as that of the ends to constitute a firm corner portion.

  • Publication number: 20010050516
    Abstract: A vertical frame construction of a cabinet or cabinets for electronic and electric equipments, which is favorable in workability for mounting of internal equipments and capable of ensuring a multiplicity of equipment mounting surfaces. The frame construction arranges vertical frame legs 1 of hollow, cross sectional shape at corners, the vertical frame legs 1 having a hollow, cross sectional shape comprising first shaped sides 4 bent inside a box for containing electronic equipments, from outer edge portions 3, second shaped sides 5 formed by bending inner ends of the first shaped sides 4 in a direction away from a corner 2, and recessed spaces E, F defined between the first shaped sides and the second shaped sides. Also, equipment mounting holes may be provided to permit work from a side of outer walls of the cabinet, and an extent of projection of joint fittings may be reduced by providing an additional joint fitting mounting side.

  • Patent number: 5898351
    Abstract: A multipolar circuit breaker is provided for securely operating tripping sections of other poles when the tripping section of any pole operates. In the case of a first embodiment, a protrusion 5 for further moving a trigger plate in the tripping direction when a cradle 3 is tripped is provided for the cradle 3 of each pole so that the movement of the trigger plate 1 is securely transmitted to other poles connected by a trigger joint 2. Moreover, in the case of a second embodiment, a protrusion for further moving the trigger plate 1 in the tripping direction by pushing the cradle 3 when the cradle 3 is tripped is provided for the trigger plate of each pole to obtain the same above mentioned advantage.

  • Patent number: 5847339
    Abstract: A handle portion of a multipole breaker includes a handle main body, made of an insulating material, for ON/OFF operation of the multipole breaker. Movable fingers having respective movable contacts are provided for opening and closing of respective circuits, and a connecting section is interposed between the handle main body and the movable fingers for transmitting ON/OFF operation of the handle main body to the movable fingers. The connecting section has at upper positions thereof one of: (i) openings for receiving shafts formed on side walls and a center wall of a breaker case, and (ii) shafts to be fitted in recesses defined in the side walls and the center wall of the breaker case. In addition, the handle main body has, on a bottom portion thereof, a partition for insulating adjacent poles.

  • Patent number: 5828276
    Abstract: A molded-case multicircuit breaker which suffers insufficient contact pressure at no poles and which is free from damage. The molded-case multicircuit breaker having at least two circuits comprises a handle which performs on-off operation of the circuits simultaneously, a first finger having a movable contact for a first circuit, and another finger having a movable contact for a circuit other than the first circuit, wherein the first finger is designed to be switched on and off directly by the handle, and the finger for a circuit other than the first circuit is electrically insulated from the first finger and is attached resiliently to the first finger. The second finger may be pivotally attached or spring loaded to the first finger.

  • Patent number: 5757254
    Abstract: An earth leakage breaker has a case, a handle protruding from the case, a cradle for determining stable positions of the handle, and a movable finger including a movable contact at a bottom portion of the movable finger. The movable finger is pivotally jointed to the handle at a protrusion provided on a lower side of the handle. An extension spring spans between the cradle and the movable finger, and a top-end swinging trigger plate is provided for engaging the cradle. The trigger plate has a fulcrum at a bottom portion thereof, and a test button and a leak trip solenoid are adjacently arranged at a top portion of the case, with the leak trip solenoid having a trip piece engaged with a contact portion formed on a top portion of the trigger plate for effecting circuit breaking due to a leak.

  • Patent number: 5723841
    Abstract: A distribution circuit breaker for two circuits operated by a common handle, in which an arc gas generated in one circuit is prevented from flowing into the other circuit includes a breaking mechanism chamber (A) for a first circuit and another breaking mechanism chamber (B) for a second circuit are defined in a single circuit breaker case on each side of a partition (3a). Contact driving means (8) is forked at the lower end portion to have two fingers which are positioned on each side of the partition and to be spaced from each other, and movable contacts (10a,10b) are attached to the lower end portions of the fingers, respectively. An arc gas suppressing barrier is provided with respect to at least one movable contact.
