  • Patent number: 10088081
    Abstract: A hydraulic connecting bush for correcting hydraulic lines for hydraulic circuit-breaker drives, having a hollow cylindrical main body with at least two annular grooves, extending circumferentially on the main body outer cylindrical surface and having sealing rings inserted therein, the main body being made of a material having a first elasticity modulus. The bush may be configured for overlapping insertion in hydraulic lines to be connected, in contact with each other at end faces, the hydraulic lines being made of a material having a second elasticity modulus, a gap forming between, the main body and the hydraulic lines, such that if the first elasticity modulus is less than the second elasticity modulus, and an internal pressure is applied, the main body expands more than the hydraulic lines and closes the gap in the region of the sealing rings.

  • Patent number: 9704660
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an electrical switching device, which switches stroke-dependently, with extended switching hysteresis, including a switching element with a contact lever, the switching element cooperating with an actuating element movably guided in a holding device. The actuating element has a step-shaped portion for actuating the contact lever of the switching element and the actuating element has an opening in which an engagement element designed as a bolt or a pin engages when a switching action is initiated. The opening provided in the actuating element is formed as an elongated hole, in which the engagement element engages in order to achieve a switching stroke and a defined hysteresis is thus set depending on the design of the elongated hole.

  • Patent number: 8410386
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a cam disc and to a spring deflection switch having a cam disc for a spring-loaded drive, wherein the cam disc includes a first, second and third circumferential region, each having at least one corresponding radial extension, for actuating a pushbutton including a switching hysteresis. The at least one second radial extension is larger than the at least one third radial extension, which in turn is larger than the at least one first radial extension. The pushbutton can interact with the cam disc in the spring deflection switch such that when the pushbutton is applied by the first circumferential region, the switching contact assumes a first switching position, and when the pushbutton is applied by the second circumferential region, the switching contact assumes a second switching position, and when the pushbutton is applied by the third circumferential region, the switching contact remains in the switching position assumed earlier.
