Abstract: A coupling bellows includes a first bellows and a second bellows having a higher spring constant than the first bellows. A coupling member is joined to each of the first bellows and the second bellows adjacent to each other, and includes a hole inserted with a movable shaft. A pressing member moves in an axial direction of the movable shaft toward the coupling member along with movement of the movable shaft in the direction in which a movable contactor is separated from a fixed contactor, and presses the coupling member, thereby contracting the second bellows.

Abstract: A circuit breaker including a bellows member having a sufficient fatigue life is obtained. The circuit breaker includes a fixed electrode, a movable electrode, a container, a movable shaft, a bellows member, and a resin layer. The bellows member is disposed so as to surround a periphery of the movable shaft. The resin layer is connected to the plurality of uneven portions of the bellows member. The resin layer includes a first part, a second part, and a third part. The first part is connected to a first recess and has a first thickness. The second part is connected to a second recess and has a second thickness. The third part is connected to at least one of a plurality of intermediate recesses and has a third thickness. The third thickness is thinner than the first thickness and the second thickness.
