  • Patent number: 11946860
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing that houses a movable member inside the housing, and a shock absorbing member that reduces a shock to the movable member. The shock absorbing member holds the housing on an inner side of the shock absorbing member and includes at least one of a protrusion protruding in a direction along a movable direction of the movable member or a depression depressed in a direction along the movable direction on an outer side of the shock absorbing member.

  • Patent number: 6900712
    Abstract: In order to prevent a mistrip caused by a closing operation of a toggle link mechanism, a trip lever is not mounted on a fixed frame of an opening/closing mechanism, but is mounted on a yoke of a disengaging device serving as a support base for the trip lever. The opening/closing mechanism and the disengaging device are held in a common casing. As a result, an impact force, produced at the time of closing the contact between two contacts by the toggle link mechanism, is transmitted through the casing, so that such a mistrip can be prevented.

  • Patent number: 6774750
    Abstract: In order to prevent a mistrip caused by a closing operation by a toggle mechanism, a trip lever 23 is not mounted on a fixed frame of a mechanism portion 8, but is mounted on a yoke 30 of a disengaging device 9 serving as a support base for this trip lever. The mechanism portion 8 and the disengaging device 9 are held on a common casing 10, and therefore an impact force, produced at the time of closing the contact between two contacts 2 and 3 by the toggle mechanism, is not completely prevented from being transmitted to the trip lever 23, while this impact force is transmitted through the casing 10, and therefore is far smaller as compared with the case where the trip lever 23 is supported on the fixed frame 13, so that such a mistrip can be prevented.

  • Patent number: 6480082
    Abstract: A circuit breaker having a safe construction, where no electrically charged portions are exposed in an accessory installation area or anywhere outside a main circuit case even if a cover of the circuit breaker is opened in a live condition. In order to achieve above object, the circuit breaker of this invention includes the main circuit case made of an insulating material, and an opening-closing trip mechanism disposed outside of the main circuit case and electrically insulated from the main circuit. According to this invention, a circuit breaker capable of eliminating the risk of an electric shock, thereby providing the excellent safety can be obtained.
