  • Patent number: 11501937
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a mechanical operating assembly for a bistable relay and a bistable relay assembly. The mechanical operating assembly comprises: an actuating mechanism mounted to a bracket, including an actuating member and a first transmitting member which is connected to a paddle, the actuating member is movable between an initial position in which the actuating member is not in contact with the first transmitting member and an actuating position, when the actuating member moves from the initial position to the actuating position, the actuating member contacts the first transmitting member; a reset mechanism mounted to the bracket, including a reset member and a second transmitting member which is in contact with the first transmitting member, the reset member is movable between an initial position and a reset position, the reset member contacts the second transmitting member when moving from the initial position to the reset position.

  • Patent number: 6294739
    Abstract: A profiled aluminum bar for electricity distribution includes a metal component 20 that is assembled with an aluminum profile 10 through respective aligned lobes of complementary shape, to form a joint of, for example, a winding shape, and providing the assembly with resistance to tensile forces. The component 20 can notably be a contact component made of copper with a tapping or jointing function, or an aluminum profile providing an extension to the bar at right angles to it.

  • Patent number: 6109983
    Abstract: Bar composed of an aluminum section with which copper contact jumpers are brought into intimate contact at the end or at regular intervals.The flanges of jumpers 20 have silver plated areas A on their internal surface, for example in the form of strips 24 transverse to the length of the bar and silver plated areas B on their external surface located between the areas A and the web of the jumper. The internal silver plated areas contribute to welding the jumper to the section and the external areas are used for making contact with junction devices or fish plates.
