  • the mechanism has driven the disc 11 clockwise in order to bring the control shaft into a closed position to earth.
  • the selector has been brought into the so-called locking position, when removing the mechanism of the device. This has caused the displacement of the stopper axis 42 in the notch 11d of the disk 11, by the rotation of the arm assembly T. In this position, the arm assembly T blocks the rotation of the disk 11, this state that can be recorded by adding a padlock between the arm assembly T and a fixed part of the frame.
  • the damping material will advantageously be a polyurethane elastomer with a shore hardness of 80, but another category of elastic material or a bi-material material could be used so as to modulate the dynamic response of the damping between the operations on line and on land, or any other elastic device, such as a coil spring or spring washers for example.
  • bottoms of the grooves on which abutment pin 42 is supported consist of flats, these flats constituting active faces stopping the movement and to reduce the phenomena of matting.
  • This device makes it possible to disperse the kinetic energy of the shaft 7 at the end of each of its movements leading to the change of position of the apparatus, by compressing the damper. It also reduces wear phenomena between contacts, over-stroke and rebound.
  • This solution allows the damping of all the movements of the three-position switch, both during the line closure, during the line opening, from the earthing to the ground and during the opening to the Earth. This is achieved by activating the stop elements against a damping element at the end of each movement.
  • This damping element linked to the chassis and locked between two axes receives shocks in two directions during the translation of the arms.
  • a single shock absorber is used for all stops, which reduces the number of parts used.
  • This device intervenes at the end of the maneuver and does not add any constraint on each movement of the tree.
  • This device can be adapted and adjusted (by changing the hardness of the damper) for each mechanism or switch having their own inertia and energy.
  • the two portions of the track can be dissociated by construction, by distributing them on two disks connected to the main shaft.
  • the shape of the damper may be arranged for example by providing a damper having an asymmetry, having a recess, and / or being made of a bi-material material with different hardnesses.
