Abstract
Description
Claims (12)
- Actuating device (100) for a circuit breaker comprising a driving element (109) movable between an opening position (109') and a closing position (109''), a disabling element (124) movable between a rest position (124') in which it allows movement of the driving element (109) and a working position (124'') in which it prevents movement of the driving element (109), a hole (129) for receiving a padlock for locking the disabling element (124), the disabling element (124) in the working position (124'') allowing access to said hole (129),
characterized in thatthe disabling element (124) in the rest position (124') obstructs the access to said hole (129). - Actuating device (100) according to Claim 1, in which the disabling element (124) includes a channel (130) formed on a surface arranged in the vicinity of said hole (129) so as to allow access to said hole (129) with a limited movement of the disabling element (124).
- Actuating device (100) according to Claim 1 or 2, further comprising a mechanism (139,142) for locking the disabling element (124) in the rest position (124') when the driving element (109) is in the closing position (109'').
- Actuating device (100) according to Claim 3, in which said mechanism (139,142) includes a guide (139) arranged on the disabling element (124) and a matching groove (142) formed on the driving element (109) so as to move rotatably the driving element (109) about an axis of rotation (115), in the rest position (124') the guide (139) being disengaged from the groove (142) when the driving element (109) is in the opening position (109') so as to allow movement of the disabling element (124) and the guide (139) being engaged with the groove (142) when the driving element (109) is in the closing position (109'') for preventing movement of the disabling element (124).
- Actuating device (100) according to Claim 4, in which the guide (139) consists of a curved projection in the form of an arc of a circle with its centre on the axis of rotation (115).
- Actuating device (100) according to any one of the Claims 1 to 5, further comprising a tongue (133) arranged on the disabling element (124) and a matching cavity (136) formed on the driving element (109), in the rest position (124') the tongue (133) being disengaged from the cavity (136) so as to allow movement of the driving element (109) and in the working position (124'') the tongue (133) being engaged with the cavity (136) so as to prevent movement of the driving element (109).
- Actuating device (100) according to any one of Claims 1 to 6, in which the disabling element (124) has a width with respect to the operating direction (126) greater than 1 cm.
- Actuating device (100) according to any one of Claims 1 to 7, in which the disabling element (124) has a knurled zone (131) on an operating surface.
- Actuating device (100) according to Claim 8, in which said knurled zone (131) consists of grooves perpendicular to the operating direction (126).
- Actuating device (100) according to any one of Claims 1 to 9, in which the disabling element (124) in the rest position (124') is aligned with an insulating body (103) of the actuating device (100) and in the working position (124'') projects from said insulating body (103).
- Actuating device (100) according to any one of Claims 1 to 10, further comprising a microswitch (148) and a further matching cavity (145) formed on a further surface of the disabling element (124) facing the microswitch (148), in the rest position (124') the microswitch (148) being housed in the further cavity (145) so as to be kept in an inactive condition in which it allows energization of a motor operating the driving element (109) and in the working condition (124'') the microswitch (148) not being housed in the further cavity (145) so as to be kept by the further surface in an active condition in which it interrupts energization of said motor.
- Disabling element (109) for use in the actuating device according to any one of Claims 1 to 11.
