| 20110079494 | BATTERY FOR HYBRID VEHICLES WITH A SAFETY DEVICE FOR INTERRUPTING A HIGH-VOLTAGE CIRCUIT - A rechargeable battery includes a housing and a plurality of electrochemical cells that are electrically connected to one another and form a high-voltage circuit. A high-voltage socket on the housing comprises two electrical poles, and the high-voltage socket is configured to be connected to a high-voltage plug. A catch on the high-voltage socket is configured to interact with a locking element on the high-voltage plug for locking the high-voltage plug to the high-voltage socket. A low-voltage circuit includes an integrated contactor for interrupting and closing the high-voltage circuit. A service plug connector is used for closing and disconnecting the low-voltage circuit; the service plug connector interacts with the high-voltage plug such that the high-voltage plug cannot be withdrawn from the high-voltage socket until the service plug connector has been removed from the rechargeable battery, and is configured to block the locking element on the high-voltage plug of the rechargeable battery. | 04-07-2011 |
| 20110240445 | ELECTRICAL SWITCHING APPARATUS AND CLOSE LATCH INTERLOCK ASSEMBLY THEREFOR - A close latch interlock assembly is provided for an electrical switching apparatus, such as a circuit breaker, which includes a stored energy mechanism, such as a closing spring. The close latch interlock assembly includes a close D-shaft pivotable between a latched and unlatched positions corresponding to the closing spring being chargeable and discharged, respectively. An actuator is movable between an unactuated position corresponding to the close D-shaft being disposed in the latched position, and an actuated position corresponding to the close D-shaft being movable toward the unlatched position. A release member cooperates with the actuator and is pivotably coupled to the first end of a transfer link. The second end of the transfer link extends toward the close D-shaft. When the actuator is moved toward the actuated position, it moves the release member, thereby moving the transfer link and pivoting the close D-shaft toward the unlatched position. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20120160639 | Transfer Switch With Internal Interlock - A transfer switch mountable in a standard electrical panel connects either a utility supply or an auxiliary supply to an electrical system. An internal mechanical interlock prevents both the utility supply and the auxiliary supply from simultaneously being connected to the system. The transfer switch may utilize either a rocker-style or a blade style switch. A light-emitting diode provides an indication of whether the utility supply is connected to and a voltage is present at the utility supply terminal. A power meter provides an indication of the magnitude of power drawn from the auxiliary supply when the auxiliary supply is connected to the load. | 06-28-2012 |
| 20120168287 | SWITCHING ASSEMBLY HAVING AN INTERLOCK DEVICE FOR A SELECTOR SWITCH - A switching assembly having an interlock device for a selector switch is provided. The interlock device includes a flapper member rotatably coupled to a base member. The flapper member has an aperture disposed proximate to an aperture of a panel such that the selector switch extends through the apertures. The flapper member further includes an indented region and has a first operational position proximate to the panel and a second operational position disposed outwardly from the panel. When an arm portion of the selector switch is disposed within the indented region of the flapper member at the second rotational position and the flapper member is rotated to the second operational position, then the arm portion cannot be rotated outside of the indented region. | 07-05-2012 |
| 20120175228 | SAFETY SWITCH - A safety switch is improved by the feature of staying in an open position in the event of breakage of a working rod or breakage or dropout of an operation portion and having a simple structure facilitating size reduction. Even if a rotary shaft is released from a supported state in an operation portion because an operating force of an operation or the number of operations of extracting an actuator from the operation portion exceeds a breakage tolerance, a working rod is permitted to move in an urging direction of a coil spring and is assuredly moved to the operation portion. Therefore, a switch can be assuredly set to an open position and, hence, the safety switch can achieve the safety improvement. | 07-12-2012 |
| 20120181152 | ACCESSORY MODULE PROVIDING A ZONE SELECTIVE INTERLOCKING INTERFACE EXTERNAL TO A TRIP UNIT, AND SYSTEM AND CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER INCLUDING THE SAME - A circuit interrupter includes a circuit breaker frame having an accessory compartment, a trip unit providing a zone selective interlocking function, and an accessory module. The accessory module includes a housing received by the accessory compartment of the circuit breaker frame, and a circuit housed by the housing. The circuit cooperates with the zone selective interlocking function of the trip unit to provide a zone selective interlocking interface external to the trip unit. | 07-19-2012 |

| 20130192962 | SWITCHING DEVICE FOR A SWITCHGEAR CABINET - A switching device is disclosed for a switchgear cabinet including a switchgear cabinet door. The switching device includes a housing, a switching unit disposed in the housing, a handle is movable between a first and a second position for actuating the switching unit, and a locking bar that is movable between a locking position and a release position. The locking bar is linked to the handle via a coupling device such that the latter moves the locking bar to the locking position when the handle is moved to the first position and moves the locking bar to the release position when the handle is moved to the second position. A clamping device is provided for clamping the locking bar in the release position, the coupling device including at least one spring element in the force path between the handle and the locking bar. | 08-01-2013 |

| 20140262703 | INTERLOCK SYSTEM FOR SWITCHGEAR - An interlock system for a circuit-interrupting device. The circuit-interrupting device includes a gearbox, a load-breaker in series with a visible disconnect, and an assembly driving the visible disconnect between an open state and a closed state. The interlock system includes a cam and a bias-driven follower. The cam is coupled to a shaft and is driven by the shaft between a first cam state when the load-breaker is in an open state and a second cam state when the load-breaker is in a closed state. The bias-driven follower has a first follower state when the cam is in the first cam state and has a second follower state when the cam is in the second cam state. In the second follower state, the bias-driven follower blocks movement of at least one component of the assembly. The cam and the bias-driver follower are positioned inside the gearbox. | 09-18-2014 |
| 20140284186 | Plug-Type Power Supply Connector For A Power Input Selector Switch - A transfer switch mountable in a standard electrical panel connects either a utility supply or an auxiliary supply to an electrical system. An internal mechanical interlock prevents both the utility supply and the auxiliary supply from simultaneously being connected to the system. The transfer switch may utilize either a rocker-style or a blade style switch. A light-emitting diode provides an indication of whether the utility supply is connected to and a voltage is present at the utility supply terminal.
