Patent number: 8198556Abstract: An installation switching device includes an insulating housing having a front face, and a switching handle disposed on the front face and configured to be operated by an operator and switched between a switched-on position and a switched-off position. The installation switching device also includes a slide fitted to the front face and moveable between a locked position and a released position. The slide is in the form of a frame and having at least one transverse web transverse to a movement direction of the slide and a holding projection configured to block any switching of the switching handle when the slide is in the locked position and to release the switching handle for switching when the slide is in the released position. The front face includes at least one structural element corresponding to the at least one transverse web.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2008Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignee: ABB AGInventors: Joachim Majewski, Klaus-Peter Eppe

Patent number: 8192238Abstract: The disclosure relates to a service switching device with an insulating housing and a connection terminal arrangement for the terminal connection of a connecting conductor with an annular terminal lug on a connecting plate mounted in the device interior, with a clamping screw, which has a screw head and a screw shaft, the screw shaft passing through the annular terminal lug and being in threaded engagement with a thread element during the terminal connection of the connecting conductor. A terminal accommodating area has an insertion opening for the connecting conductor and an access opening for the screw head for actuation thereof. The connecting plate has a holding section for locking the thread element.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2011Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignee: ABB AGInventor: Joachim Majewski

Patent number: 8129641Abstract: An installation switching device includes a housing having a terminal connecting area and a screwless spring-loaded terminal fixed in position in the terminal connecting area, and a spring operating lever. The screwless spring-loaded terminal includes a clamping spring having a contact limb, a clamping limb having a clamping window with a clamping edge, and a curved spring rear connecting the contact and clamping limbs and configured to interact with a mount part surrounding a clamping strip, such that a connecting conductor is clampable between a rear face of the clamping strip and the clamping edge.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2008Date of Patent: March 6, 2012Assignee: ABB AGInventors: Joachim Majewski, Roland Ritz, Klaus-Peter Eppe

Publication number: 20100133236Abstract: An installation switching device includes an installation device housing including a housing interior, a connecting terminal disposed on a narrow face of the installation device housing, a switching apparatus including a quenching chamber, a vent channel configured to allow switching gases from a switching operation to escape from the housing interior through an outlet opening disposed close to the connecting terminal, and an attachment element disposed on the narrow face. The attachment element includes an exhaust-gas channel having an inlet opening corresponding with the outlet opening of the vent channel so as to allow the switching gases to pass from the outlet opening of the vent channel through the exhaust-gas channel, the attachment element configured to attach the installation switching device to a busbar.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2008Publication date: June 3, 2010Applicant: ABB AGInventor: Joachim Majewski
