  • Patent number: 3947791
    Abstract: Locking device of low control power for an electrical device having, between the locked part and the locking control element, a locking assembly having a rolling movement. This locking assembly has a rotating bearing and at least one coaxial disk is installed floating in a yoke connected with the control element. The device is installed more particularly on circuit-breakers for which it ensures accurate controlling, low consumption of power and high reliability.

  • Patent number: 3936780
    Abstract: This device comprises means for detecting, respectively, overcharges, by means of bimetallic strips and short-circuiting, by means of mobile magnetic plates effecting independently from each other the controlling of the switching off of a circuit-breaker for the protection of a circuit. The thermal safety means operate through a mechanical power amplifier comprising a cage with uprights, a rotating catch dependent on the thermal phase-detectors and a plunger transmitting the power of a spring to effect the switching off.
