  • Electrical apparatus with dual movement of contacts comprising a return device with two levers
    Patent number: 9543081
    Abstract: The invention provides electric power line switchgear (10) comprising a main movable contact (14) and a secondary movable contact (16), capable of moving along a main axis A of the switchgear (10), in which the main movable contact (14) is connected to the secondary movable contact (16) by means of a crank mechanism (20) that transforms the movement of the main movable contact (14) in one direction into a movement of the secondary movable contact (16) in an opposite direction; the switchgear being characterized in that the crank mechanism (20) comprises two levers (22, 24) mounted to pivot relative to the stationary housing (12) about respective parallel pivot axes (B, C), each lever (22, 24) being connected firstly to a respective one of the main movable contact (14) and the secondary movable contact (16), and secondly to the other lever (24, 22).
