Definitions
- the present invention aims to eliminate this danger by equipping the device concerned with an adequate safety device.
- said predetermined threshold corresponds to a breaking force of essential components of the mechanism, and said breaking force is defined by a standard.
- said opening of the housing is angularly offset from the intermediate position occupied by the recess of the lever in the welded state of the contacts, following the application of a force corresponding to said threshold predetermined
- the partially shown apparatus in this case a circuit breaker 10, comprises a pair of contacts, one of which 11 is fixed and mounted on a support 12 which is connected, in a manner not shown, to one of the terminals of the circuit breaker and the other 13 of which is movable.
- This movable contact is arranged at one end an arm 14 pivoting about an axis 15, called a movable contact arm.
- Axis 15 is mounted on a plate 16 which also carries a hanging hook 17 articulated on an axis 18 secured to the plate 16.
- the hanging hook is linked to one end a link 19, this end being articulated at a point 20 on said hook of attachment, the other end of the link 19 being articulated at a point 21 on a drum 22 rotatable around an axis 23 which carries a lever 24 for manual control.
- the drum 22 is housed in an appropriate cavity of the circuit breaker housing and comprises a recess 25 which, when the contacts are open and the lever is brought into abutment against a stop integral with said case, coincides with an opening 27 made through the side walls of this case to allow passage of a sealing wire 28, the handle of a padlock or any other locking device.
- the configuration of the components as represented by the Figure 1 corresponds to a normal situation, the contacts being free, not welded, and the joystick with manual control acting through the control mechanism, correctly on the moving contact.
- FIG. 2 represents this same device 10 when the contacts 11 and 13 are soldered following A short-circuit. It can be seen that, although the contacts are closed, the handle 24 of manual control could be brought into abutment against the stop 26 and that the recess 25 has was brought next to the opening 27 formed in the side walls of the housing so that the lockout operation has been made possible. To arrive in this state, the operator had to force the lever, which has the effect of deforming the rod 19. The force applied is less than a limit value, or threshold defined by a standard. Beyond this threshold, the applied force causes a complete rupture of the mechanism but, below this threshold, the applied force only generates a deformation of the link which does not allow the operator to be aware of the danger due to the non-de-energization of the circuit.
- a limit value or threshold defined by a standard. Beyond this threshold, the applied force causes a complete rupture of the mechanism but, below this threshold, the applied force only generates a deformation of the link which does not allow the operator to be aware of the danger due to
- the device 30 shown in this case a circuit breaker, as before comprises a fixed contact 31 mounted on a support 32, a contact mobile 33 disposed at one end of an arm 34 pivoting about an axis 35.
- This axis is carried by a plate 36 which also carries a hook 37 articulated on an axis 38 secured to this plate.
- a link 39 is linked at a point 40 to said hook attachment 37 and at a point 41 to a drum 42, rotatable about an axis 43, which carries a manual control lever 44.
- the drum 42 is provided with a recess 45 which, when the contacts 31 and 33 are open and the lever is brought to bear against a stop 46 secured to the housing (not shown) of the apparatus, coincides with an opening 47 formed through the side walls of this housing to allow the passage of a wire sealing 48 or the handle of a padlock.
- FIG. 4 represents the apparatus 30 in a configuration where the contacts 31 and 33 are soldered due to a short circuit.
- Handle 44 is in an intermediate position without deformation of the link 39.
- the recess 45 does not coincide with the opening 47, so that padlocking of the device is not possible.
- the apparatus When the operator exerts a force on the lever 44 in the opening direction, the apparatus can be brought into a position which corresponds to that of FIG. 5.
- the configuration shown corresponds to a limit force, or normalized threshold below which the mechanism is not completely destroyed, and beyond which the essential components of the mechanism are deteriorated. It can be seen that, in this case, the control lever 44 manual is not in abutment against the stop 46 and that the recess 45 does not coincide with opening 47 so that padlocking of the device is not possible. If the operator pushes the joystick by applying a force which is greater than said threshold, the deterioration of essential components of the device is inevitable.
- Figure 6 shows the device in the unlocked open position, following a normal triggering. We notice that the recess does not coincide with the opening 47, preventing lockout. The latter is only possible if the lever 44 is pushed in. support against the stop 46.
- FIG. 6 it is possible to provide a compression spring 50 which is mounted such that it tends to oppose the movement of the lever 44 in its final phase, that is to say towards the support against the stop 46, when the contacts 31 and 33 are free.
- the spring 50 opposes a determined resistance on the lever in the displacement phase in which the contacts are already open, but where the lockout position has not yet been reached. This resistance makes it possible to make the user attentive to his approach by forcing him to support his effort on the joystick.
- the spring could be replaced by a friction, or any other organ having the same functions, allowing to attract the attention of the user.

Description
- une manette de commande manuelle équipée d'un tambour rotatif,
- un dispositif de sécurité agencé pour empêcher un cadenassage de la manette en cas de soudure d'un contact mobile sur un contact fixe suite à un court-circuit, ladite manette de commande pouvant être amenée par rotation autour d'un axe, soit dans une position normale d'ouverture correspondant à l'ouverture desdits contacts, soit dans une position normale de fermeture correspondant à la fermeture desdits contacts,
- un bras pivotant portant ledit contact mobile,
- et un évidement ménagé dans le tambour et pouvant venir en regard d'une ouverture du boítier pour autoriser le passage d'un moyen de plombage ou de cadenassage.
- qu'une butée est décalée angulairement par rapport à la position normale d'ouverture de la manette pour servir d'arrêt à ladite manette en position d'ouverture de cadenassage, le passage de la position normale d'ouverture vers la position d'ouverture de cadenassage s'effectuant par une surcourse de la manette autorisée dans l'état non soudé des contacts,
