Abstract: An axially actuatable positive engagement clutch which includes an input shaft with an input toothing and an output shaft with an output toothing. An axially displaceable connection element can occupy a meshing position which is located in an actuation path (s) between the open position and the closed position and in which the driving toothing engages with the input toothing or the output toothing for the first time during the transition from the open position into the closed position. An actuation device is configured to displace the connection element from the closed position to the open position, and an elastic return element which applies a restoring force to the connection element in direction of the closed position. The return element has a force/deflection characteristic with a local force maximum (F1) which coincides in the actuation path (s) at least approximately with the meshing position of the connection element.

Abstract: A device is disclosed for connecting control current lines in low voltage switchboard plants. The device should allow the control current in a plug-in distribution board to be easily maintained up to a test position of the rack and to be cut beyond this position when the rack is drawn out. The device has two multipoint plugs with plugs and sockets, of which the first is rigidly linked to the rack and the other is movably mounted over a limited path on two guiding pins, the terminal cross-section of which is enlarged. In the test position they are locked in by elastic elements, ensuring complete contact between both multipoint plugs in this position when the rack is inserted. A plurality of control lines can be easily cabled with little attrition in a reduced space within a plug-in distribution board and a test position can be reached by drawing out the rack.
