  • Patent number: 7019228
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling an electrical switching module which can be displaced between an entry position and an exit position. The switching module comprises switching contacts of vacuum switching tubes; an isolating element which can be also be displaced in the switching module and comprises isolating contacts which can be connected to, and disconnected from, corresponding mating contacts inside an enclosed switchboard section, as required; and connector contacts and mating connector contacts in the low voltage range. The switching contacts of the vacuum switching tubes support the closing and opening processes, under the control influence of a closing spring which can be influenced by a closing catch (EK) and an opening spring which can be influenced by an opening catch, and prominent functional positions of the isolating position.

  • Patent number: 6864444
    Abstract: A locking device of an electrical switch which can be moved between a disconnected position and an operating position with the switching states of the electrical switch. A first strip has a control contour which extends in a first direction and has a ramp which interacts with a control rod which can be moved in certain states of the electrical switch.

The switching contacts of the vacuum switching tubes support the closing and opening processes, under the control influence of a closing spring which can be influenced by a closing catch (EK) and an opening spring which can be influenced by an opening catch, and prominent functional positions of the isolating element are represented by an “operating position” and by an isolating position.

  • Patent number: 6206201
    Abstract: A utensil sorting apparatus having a plurality of different buckets, each bucket being adapted to receive one type of utensil and to discharge it from a discharge port. Other utensils received by, for example, the cavity adapted to receive spoons are discharged from the inlet port of the bucket as the bucket rotates. The discharge ports of the spoon buckets are aligned with a first slide, fork buckets with a second slide and knife buckets with a third slide so that utensils slide into bins as they are sorted.
