  • Patent number: 4479101
    Abstract: A circuit breaker having an automatically adjusting magnetic armature is provided. The magnetic armature includes a spring-biasing means to automatically maintain one end of the armature in the contact with the electromagnet and the other end away from an adjacent electromagnet. The magnetic armature includes a pair of slightly curved arms which are disposed about a pivot guide post. When current through the circuit breaker exceeds a predetermined amount, the end of the armature normally biased away from the adjacent electromagnet is suddenly attracted to the electromagnet. The force from the spring-biasing means is overcome, and the slightly curved arms of the armature pivot about the pivot guide post so that the armature contacts the adjacent electromagnet. A latch holder at the end of the armature becomes disengaged from a latch means to cause the circuit breaker to open.
