Patent number: 6870118Abstract: A contact for a vacuum interrupter, includes: 1) a contact plate; and 2) a contact carrier. The contact carrier includes: a first end face which is fitted with the contact plate, and a peripheral face which is formed with a slit portion in such a manner as to form a coil part. The coil part flows a current such that a longitudinal magnetic field is formed in an axial direction of the contact carrier. The first end face fitted with the contact plate is formed with a circumferential slit portion which connects to the slit portion.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2003Date of Patent: March 22, 2005Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha MeidenshaInventors: Akira Nishijima, Hidemitsu Takebuchi, Yoshihiko Matsui, Takaaki Furuhata

Patent number: 6765168Abstract: An electrode of a vacuum circuit breaker has a cup member and a contact. The cup member has an opening and a periphery which is formed with a slit so as to form a coil section. An electric current flows in the coil section so as to generate a longitudinal magnetic field in a direction along an axis of the cup member. The slit is bent and continuously extends on the periphery from a first end of the cup member to a second end of the cup member opposite to the first end of the cup member. The contact is shaped into a plate, and seals the opening of the cup member.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2002Date of Patent: July 20, 2004Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha MeidenshaInventors: Hidemitsu Takebuchi, Yoshihiko Matsui, Akira Nishijima, Yoshihiro Fukatsu

Patent number: 6740838Abstract: A contact and a vacuum interrupter using the contact. The contact includes a hollow cylindrical contact carrier and a contact plate disposed on one of the axial end faces of the contact carrier. First slits and second slits extend from the one of the axial end faces of the contact carrier and the other thereof, respectively. The first slits and the second slits are inclined with respect to the center axis of the contact carrier and have a first height x and a second height y extending in the axial direction of the contact carrier, respectively. Assuming that the axial length of the contact carrier is 1, the first height x and the second height y satisfies a relationship given by the following expressions (1)-(3): (1) 0.9≧x, (2) x≧y≧0.2x, (3) 1.4≧x+y≧0.8.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2003Date of Patent: May 25, 2004Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha MeidenshaInventors: Yoshihiko Matsui, Hidemitsu Takebuchi, Akira Nishijima
