  • Patent number: 10217579
    Abstract: An operating mechanism for a toggle switch handle includes a bar that is movably mounted along its longitudinal axis, and a roller head mounted at one end of the bar. The roller head includes two axes for rolls. The first roll of the rolls is provided for turning on the toggle switch handle depending on a movement of the bar, and a second roll of the rolls is provided for rolling over a plate and blocking a rotation of the bar around its longitudinal axis.

  • Patent number: 8531820
    Abstract: An insulative module body for a bus system has at least two first channels, each adapted for at least partly receiving a bus bar. Each first channel extends through the body along one side thereof, and is open to the outside at one side and at both longitudinal ends thereof The body has at least two second channels, each adapted for receiving a power connection element for cooperating with a complementary circuit breaker contacting element. Each second channel extends generally transverse to the first channels and is open at one longitudinal end thereof The first and second channels respectively extend through the body in a first plane and a second plane generally parallel to the first plane and offset therefrom. The first and second channels cross each other in respective parallel, offset planes. The body includes at least one opening for each second channel to connect with one first channel.
