Abstract: A switchgear apparatus may include a cylindrical housing defining a housing interior filled with carbon dioxide, an electrical switch supported within the housing, the electrical switch including a chamber communicating the housing interior and a pair of contacts within the chamber, the pair of contacts including a stationary contact and a movable contact, and a crankshaft coupled to the movable contact such that the movable contact is configured to translate linearly relative to the stationary contact in response to rotation of the crankshaft.

Abstract: The invention is a saddle rack comprised of an upper portion or body upon which the saddle rests, fabricated by plastic mould injection, approximating an equine's back shape and supported by four legs. Bridle and halter may be stored on handles, and baskets provide extra storage space. Numerous embodiments are provided, including embodiments to accommodate either Western or English shaped saddles. Preferably, the body is of webbed or perforated design allowing additional air penetration and ventilation of the underside of a saddle resting on the rack, advantageously providing the saddle a means to dry while being stored. More preferably, racks may be stacked for shipping or display, to save space. Maintenance and cleaning are greatly simplified by durable plastic design.
