Patents by Inventor João Paulo Abdala

João Paulo Abdala has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10892113
    Abstract: A rotating handle device formed by the the mounting of an assembly including an attachment base that receives a grip and a sliding button, a sliding limiting drive member, and a fixing cover. The fastening between the sliding button, grip, attachment base, and fixing cover is achieved by pressure fastening engagements snap-fits. The assembly includes a mounting method that prevents removal of the grip from the attachment base unless the sliding button is removed first, and a mounting or dismounting process between the grip and the attachment base that may only take place upon the coincidence between pairs of flaps and passing recessions.

  • Patent number: 10707042
    Abstract: A switching operation mechanism to a molded case circuit breaker, including at least one operating handle, which is movable in a rotatable trajectory, said switching operation mechanism including at least one external rotary handle, at least one operation member and at least one movement transmission means, the said operation member being capable of moving in rotating trajectory in equivalent direction to the movement in rotating trajectory of the handle for operating the circuit breaker in molded case, arranged inside a housing including a laterally bipartite body, reaching an efficient movement transfer, requiring less mechanical effort of proportional operation of the user on the external rotary handle, wherein it is possible to maintain an external rotary handle, of great dimensions proportional to the assembled assembly, “within” the general perimeter of the molded case circuit breaker.

  • Patent number: 10546709
    Abstract: An engageable drive engageable operating mechanism for converting a movement of a linear translation operating handle to a rotating handle movement relative to the operative front face engageable with a molded-case circuit breaker. The mechanism includes an external rotating adapter external rotating operating member or alternatively an engageable drive engageable operating mechanism incorporating a handle assembly external rotating operating member, interchangeable with each other; and a gear, a support movable movement-converting support including a rack portion, and a structural support base, wherein the structural support base includes a built-in side opening chamber.
