  • Actuating shaft structure for an electrical switch
    Patent number: 10937603
    Abstract: A electrical pole unit includes an actuator shaft that is rotatable about a switch axis to switch the pole unit between open and closed conditions. The actuator shaft is configured to mate coaxially with another actuator shaft in another pole unit to transmit rotation from one actuator shaft to another without a fastener to interconnect the shafts.

  • Electrical switching apparatus with springs and shunt trip mechanism
    Patent number: 10607796
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a switch having alternately open and closed conditions, and a shunt trip mechanism configured to detect and respond to an electrical fault condition. The apparatus further includes an operating mechanism including a spring assembly. The operating mechanism is actuatable manually to deflect the spring assembly into a stressed condition, and is actuatable automatically in response to the shunt trip mechanism to shift the switch into the open condition upon return deflection of the spring assembly from the stressed condition. The spring assembly may include springs connected in parallel.
