  • Patent number: 7915982
    Abstract: A device for detecting three states, namely ‘on’, ‘off’ and ‘triggered’ of an electric circuit breaker. The device includes a mobile magnetic device, movable between three positions corresponding to the three states of the circuit breaker, and at least one permanent magnet generating a magnetic field provided with magnetic field lines for driving two DIP switches via the magnetic effect. In each of the magnetic device's positions, the two DIP switches are controlled in either an open or closed position to form a specific combination representing one of the three states of the circuit breaker.

  • Publication number: 20050109601
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical miniswitch comprising a case including a case part forming a base wherefrom several electrical terminals are salient and a case part forming a cover, an instantaneous switching mechanism placed in the case and comprising a flexible conducting blade subjected to a substantially longitudinal pre-stress, and a push-button mounted sliding through the part of the case forming the cover so as to actuate the instantaneous mechanism. According to the invention the miniswitch also comprises a compression spring opposing sliding of the push-button so that in the break position of the miniswitch the flexible conducting blade is kept biased by the push-button and the spring, by means of a stop placed on the push-button, and that in the switched position of the miniswitch the conducting blade is not subjected to any constraint from the push-button and the compression spring.
