Patent number: 11887798Abstract: A circuit breaker and panel system includes a panel including a base pan having a plurality of base pan electrical connections. A circuit breaker including a housing having a plurality of circuit breaker electrical connections arranged to contact the base pan electrical connections when the circuit breaker is coupled to the base pan. The circuit breaker is rotatably coupleable with the base pan via a pivot joint for engaging the plurality of base pan electrical connections with the plurality of circuit breaker electrical connections per a predetermined electrical connection coupling sequence. One of the housing and the base pan includes a protrusion and the other of the housing and the base pan includes a corresponding recess which, when engaged with each other, retain the housing to the base pan to prevent reverse rotational movement of the breaker with respect to the base pan.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2021Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc.Inventors: Michael Kamor, Justin Berghoff, Adam Kevelos, Timothy Lindh, Nicholas Ryan Goodine, Steven Tommell

Patent number: 9859075Abstract: A circuit interrupter having a first plate on which a stationary contact is positioned where the flow of electrical current through the first contact and first plate cause a magnetic field to form around the stationary contact such that an arc that may form in the vicinity of the stationary contact is urged toward arc extinguishing plate and vented out the bottom of the housing of the circuit interrupter. In one configuration the venting is formed as a split vent path to direct the venting of gas and debris in a controlled manner.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2016Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: Carling Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Michael Fasano, Steven Tommell, Nicholas Ryan Goodine, James Bugryn
