  • Patent number: 9859649
    Abstract: A plug adapter for plugging in electrical supply lines on the device, the device connection contacts being in adjacent rows, and contacted by the supply line via screwless clamping devices, has a prismatic-like structure of insulating molded material, and an upper side parallel to the device upper side, an output side facing the device, and an access side facing away from the device. Between the output side and access side are parallel supply line core receiving channels, in adjacent rows and corresponding to the device connection contacts. An actuating bracket is on the plug adapter, associated with the device's unlocking device for positioning the plug connection between plug adapter and device.

  • Patent number: 9178305
    Abstract: Arrangement for establishing and/or breaking a connection between a plug and a complementary mating plug, wherein a lever which can be pivoted about an axis is arranged on the plug. The connection between the plug and the mating plug can be broken when the lever is pivoted into a disconnection position and/or can be established when the lever is pivoted into a connection position. The plug is, in particular, a switch module, for example a tripping module for a mating plug which is in the form of a circuit breaker.

  • Publication number: 20140179142
    Abstract: A switching arrangement includes a plug and a complementary mating plug for establishing and separating a connection between the plug and the mating plug. The plug includes a locking bolt disposed rotationally about an axis. The locking bolt includes a thread and the mating plug includes a mating thread. The plug is lockable to the mating plug by driving in the thread of the locking bolt into the mating thread. The switching device is configured to be moved to a connected position by driving in the thread of the locking bolt into the mating thread, and thereby providing a movement of the plug relative to the mating plug, and is configured to be moved to a disconnected position by driving out the thread of the locking bolt from the mating thread, thereby providing the movement of the plug relative to the mating plug.
