  • Patent number: 10892113
    Abstract: A rotating handle device formed by the the mounting of an assembly including an attachment base that receives a grip and a sliding button, a sliding limiting drive member, and a fixing cover. The fastening between the sliding button, grip, attachment base, and fixing cover is achieved by pressure fastening engagements snap-fits. The assembly includes a mounting method that prevents removal of the grip from the attachment base unless the sliding button is removed first, and a mounting or dismounting process between the grip and the attachment base that may only take place upon the coincidence between pairs of flaps and passing recessions.

  • Publication number: 20180323027
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a circuit breaker (20, 40) comprising a handle (33) connected to a switching and trip mechanism (25) in the base unit (20a), and capable of opening and closing a system (24) of electrical contacts in normal operation, ensuring the interchangeability between a pluggable electronic trip module (20b) and/or a pluggable thermomagnetic trip module (20b), using the same structural base unit (20a). The device comprises a main electric circuit “1” and a secondary circuit “2” or “2b”, wherein the main circuit “1”, using a current transformer (29) in the base unit (20a) which converts a current flowing in the main circuit “1” of the power line (23) to power the secondary circuit “2” or “2b”, issues a trip command to protect the main circuit “1”, opening the contact system (24) when predefined current limits are exceeded.

  • Publication number: 20150248983
    Abstract: An electromagnetic switching device, with several distinct regions (10, 20, 30, 40), where each region separates and places the terminals and the connection means in an improved form which make easy the identification of the terminals for the user when the contactor is fixed inside the panel; where the first region (10), have function of fixing the contactor on the panel and also houses the electromagnet; a second region (20) comprising the power terminals (21); a third region (30) that houses the auxiliary terminals (31, 32) and the command terminals (33); a fourth region (40) that is used for the connection of accessories; the third region presents a clear distinction between auxiliary terminals (31, 32) and command terminals (33), given by the asymmetry created viewed from the top; combined with a proposed uneven disposition X1 and X2 of the command terminals (31, 32) and auxiliary terminals (33) viewed from the front in the same third region.
