  • Publication number: 20240164585
    Abstract: Disclosed in the present disclosure is an automatic egg cracker. The automatic egg cracker includes two symmetrically-arranged egg holders and two symmetrically-arranged egg-cracking knives, where the egg holders are provided with upward openings to form egg troughs, and the egg-cracking knives impact eggs from side surfaces for cracking. A push rod is arranged behind the egg holder to synchronously drive at least one side of the egg-cracking knife to open to crack the egg. The egg trough having the upward opening is arranged, the egg is placed in the egg trough, and the egg-cracking knife impacts the egg from the side surface for cracking, such that egg liquid between the egg-cracking knife and an eggshell will not stagnate to avoid waste, and the egg is stably placed in the egg trough and will not fly away in a cracking process.

  • Publication number: 20240170946
    Abstract: A dropout recloser is capable of in accordance with its operating programming after a predetermined number of fault interrupting operations, e.g., 1, 2, 3 or more but typically 3, to drop out of a cutout and hang freely in a hinge contact of the cutout providing sectionalization with an observable visible gap. The recloser includes fault interrupting and reclosing components, a drop out mechanism and a controller. The drop out mechanism may include a bi-stable actuator to affect fault interrupting operation and dropout operation. The device may include motion limiting structures. The recloser may have a number of operating modes or sequences.

  • Publication number: 20060219665
    Abstract: A control arrangement is provided for an array of circuit interrupters that includes mounting and handling features to transport the array of circuit interrupters between various operating positions within the enclosure. In a specific arrangement, the control arrangement also provides for transporting of the array of circuit interrupters to a position to the exterior of the enclosure. In a specific arrangement, the circuit interrupters are modular and removable from the array. In a preferred arrangement, viewing facilities are provided to observe the array of circuit interrupters to verify the operating positions of the circuit interrupters, specifically, the disconnected and grounded positions. Additionally, a grounded position internal to the enclosure avoids the necessity of manually attaching grounds. In a preferred arrangement, detection of the operational states of the circuit interrupters is also provided in the various positions.
