  • Patent number: 7038562
    Abstract: The invention relates to a simulation switch for incorporation into a flight simulator and to the simulation of an excess-current circuit breaker which can be manually actuated using an actuating element (10). The inventive simulation switch comprises a switching mechanism that is identical to the switching mechanism of the excess-current circuit breaker (9) for opening and closing a switching contact (2, 4), in addition to an electromagnetic release device (20) for releasing the closed switching contact (2, 4) by means of a control current (i).

  • Patent number: 6900405
    Abstract: A circuit breaker has a threaded collar fixed on a breaker housing and an approximately cylindrical actuating element displaceably guided in a bore of the threaded collar and partially protruding from the breaker housing for manual push-pull actuation in an advantageous way on the actuating side. In order to seal the circuit breaker, a sealing ring seals an annular gap formed between the wall of the bore and the circumference of the actuating element.
