Patent number: 10840044Abstract: A ceramic insulator for vacuum interrupters extends along a longitudinal extent and forms a cavity in said longitudinal extent. The cavity has a first opening on a first end of the longitudinal extent and a second opening on a second end of the longitudinal extent. The openings are designed so that they can be sealed in a gas-tight manner using appropriate connections. The sealed first opening is designed to guide at least one fixed contact into the cavity, and the sealed second opening is designed to guide at least one moving contact into the cavity. The ceramic insulator has, on an inner face of the cavity, one or multiple electrically conductive discharge path interrupters extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal extent of the ceramic insulator.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2017Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Frank Graskowski, Angelika Hartmann, Sylvio Kosse, Andreas Lawall

Patent number: 10468214Abstract: Various embodiments may include a coupling element for an electrical switching device comprising: a first switching contact at a first end of a winding body; a second switching contact; and a rotating body through which the winding body extends. The rotating body rotates on the winding body and the winding body translates along its longitudinal axis. A cord is arranged on each of the two sides of the rotating body between the rotating body and the winding body so that winding and unwinding of the cord is caused by opposite rotational movements of the rotating body driving a translational movement of the winding body. The rotating body is coupled to two springs so that a spring force always acts on the rotating body in both directions of rotation. A lock blocks the rotating body in at least two extreme positions of the translational movement of the winding body.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2017Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Gerit Ebelsberger, Georg Bachmaier, Matthias Gerlich, Sylvio Kosse, Wolfgang Zöls
