Abstract: A remotely controlled circuit control device has first and second load contact assemblies movable into circuit engagement and circuit disengagement positions relative to one another in which one load contact assembly is operatively connected to a solenoid so that alternate forward strokes of the solenoid moves the one load contact assembly between reset and tripped positions through a push-push mechanism having an indexing portion and a latching portion. An overload mechanism cooperates with the latch portion to cause the load contact assemblies to move to the circuit disengaged position upon occurrence of a fault condition. The second load contact assembly includes pivotably mounted contact members which are linked to the first load contact assembly in such a way that circuit engagement during solenoid energization is precluded.

Abstract: A high performance, manually and automatically operable, trip-free magnetic circuit breaker incorporates novel means for mounting and coupling circuit breaker units to achieve multipole operation. An actuator in each pole has a shaft extending through a housing wall and fitting in splined engagement with the shaft of a corresponding actuator in an adjacent pole mounting the actuators for unison pivotal movement between a position where one of the actuators is engaged and pivoted by movement of the beaker contacts to an open circuit position in one pole for pivoting the other actuator to trip the breaker components in the adjacent pole to open the circuit in the adjacent pole. A tie-pin having a peripheral groove therein is snugly fitted into openings in the operating handles of the breaker pols and has coil springs fitted over the pin between pairs of the handles, one spring having a convolution of reduced diameter fitted into the pin groove for retaining the pin in the handle openings.
