Abstract

Tripping mechanism for automatic switches, formed by a functional unit that comprises a manually operated contact finger (3), in connection with which there is provided a swinging connecting piece (4) that in turn is connected with a trigger (6), with regard to which there is in position to be actuated a connecting piece (7) transmitting the tripping action to the corresponding automatic switch to which it is applied, while in connection with the connecting piece (4) there is in turn provided a lever (8) that is actuable by a drive relay to produce tripping.
