PATENTVOFFIC rnmosrarlccmcn'rr Banania 'AIhis invention relates to improvement! vin circuit breakers. o l" The chief object of this invention is to provide a circuit breakerwhich is of low capacity so that the same is adapted to replace the present fuse construction. r y

Another object ofthe invention, and probably the most important, consists in construct-'- ing the device in such a manner that the usual line switch associated' with the fuse is replaced by a combination thermally controlled switch, whichv is positively'r protective 1n its vaction in that las long as thc load is on the line the circuit cannot be permanently closed.

Another object of the invention isto construct the devicein 'such a -manner that the elements thereofarenot releasable when suby jected to excessivevvibration.

A further object olf-the invention isito construct the same in such a manner that the device may be enclosed to `prevent any'excess' whatsoever to the mechanism, unless'the complete swltchl mechanism 1s vcntlrely removed from the circuit byvprior removal from its su port. -1

he full'nature of' this invention will be understood from the accompanying drawings and the following description and claims:

tral sectional 'View taken on the line 10- 10 of FigLQ, and shows the same construction. Fig. 11 is a perspective view of the thermostat support and the travel limit means. Fig. 12 is a perspective view of the thermostat ing base provide-d in th'e'pre'sent instance with a pairof thermally controlled devices pair of switches associated therewith,` the switches and the thermally controlled device being manually operable by a common member, in a manner hereinafter tobe described. While a plurality of similar units are herein illustratednthe invention is not to be limited. to a plurality, but may be constructed of a single thermally controlled device and a single switch or a plurality'ofeach.

protecl and a llas i Since the thermally controlled devicesv are y substantially identical, a description of rone will suiiice for them both."y Astandard 11 having the base portion 12 suitably supports lthe kstud 13 vwhich is adjustably positioned in said standard by means of atool engagelable portion-14 and the lock nut 15. The

portion 14v permits the stud to be engaged by a. suitable 'tool'y and saidstud may be turned inthe bracket intothe ,desired position to secure a predetermined amount 'of movement upon the passage of a predetermined current through the thermallyy ,responsive element herein shownin the form of a thermostat 16, which-is coiledf and hasits vinner end '17 se-' cured inthe slotted `end of the stud 13, see Figs.j5,-6 and When stud 13 is adjusted it' isl permanently secured as by soldering.

' The otherendvof the thermostatis provided' with a catch'portion 18 havingthe retaining edge 19 'andthelsupporting portionQO. The supporting portion 20 is not only secured tothe front end of the coilv thermostat, but

also securesone end of a shunt vor pig tail member 2l. '.'The particular angular position and form of thee'dge 19,'when associated with a roller 22 carried by. the pin 23," is such that said catch retains" said roller in the latched position even under extreme vibrato conditions and the passage of current through the thermostat of slightly less value than the normal operative current of the thermostat. In operation the v assage of cur-- v rent through the thermal mem er 16 extends said thermal member and theretaining member 18 is withdrawn rearwardly or rather outwardly from the roller 22 and the movement is also such that the member 18is moved downwardly as well. The roller rest's upon the edge -19 until it is free from the retainm f member 18 and, thereafter is released an I0 moved upwardly with a support associated `prisesa .to said base." This -terminal 2 5 is connected y to the load side of the circuit.

The particular switch construction controlled by the thermal construction complurality-of spring contact fingers 26 suitab y secured, as shown in Fig. 2, to the base V10 -at 27 and by the bolt and nut means 28 and 2 9 respectively. One of the spring'ingers 26 carrles anarc resisting protective/member3. The spring finger contacts 26 Aare connected to the live slde of the .line of the circuit.

. sides of t e Vplate 34 and concentric with articular pivot -31 suitably secured to the IbaselO by meansof the cotter pins 32 and 33 is a U-shaped plate 34 having the side ortions 35 which are apertured to receive t 'e f ivot 31. Between'the ears or the pivot, is a coil spring 36,".which has one end- 3 7 bearing upon said side member 34 and the other end 38l suitably secured to or fbearing A.Ku-pon the base 10- so'that said coil Y -side wall 35 of thelplate member 34 ivotally spring normall tends to maintain the plate member 34 in e open lcircuit position. The

supports at 39 a contact roller 40. lerein a airvof said rollers vis illustrated in tand utit is to be understood that if des' d a roller may be associated with each of the .side

' lwalls 35,01: the numberof rollers may be ine creased ordiminished or. other 'contact' arc resisting .means substituted therefor. The roller40 enga the farc resisting contact member 30 an contacts the arc-when fthe switchis o pn or closed. The plate 34.is'

v provided with two forwardl extendin arms.

41 which are twisted and rilledto orin a pair of bearm d -for .the pin 23 carrying the roller 22. Wen the plate member v34 is caused to' close the circuit -by means 4of thel roller 40 engaging the Contact 30, current is transmitted from said plate member 34 to the plate l12 by means of the pig tail or shunt .construction 21, which is electrically connect- 23 and hereinaftento be depoint support insures ab-- solute rigidit of t issie,

construction the thermostat moves .outwardly to permit the roller 22 to pass and belatched l thereby. f Suitable 'means for manually closing the thermall 'controlled switch comprises an insulating lock 42 each end of which is grooved at 43'tobe secured to a U-shaped handle 44 having the arms 45 whichare provided with trunions 46 pivotallysupported by thecotter pins 47. One trunnion'46 is extended and` orms a handle 48 whereby the insulating member may be moved into engagement with' the plate 34 for closing the thermally controlled switch. The side walls 35 of the plate 34 en a the insulating member42 as shown clear y 1n Fig, 2 and as shown in Fig. 4, said insulating member 42 is adapted to move the plate 34 into closed circuit position.

Reference will now be had to Figs. 1 to -4, inclusive, and Fig. v8; In -said figures a U-shaped current conducting member 50 is simultaneouslysecured to the base 10 with the prmgnger 26 and is in electrical connection erewith. The U-sha ed member 50 is provided Awith two inwardJ ing coil spring' 36 when latching the thermal ly extending parallel ends which pivotally support a switch plate 52.' The switch plate 52 is herein showncut away at 53 to form an yarcuate edge for clear" switch' member. EPositioned in alignment with the switch plate 52, is a spring co'ntact o f any usual or dpreferred form 54, which is suitably 'secure to a contact strip 55 by means'of the bolt and nut 56 and 57 respec.

tively, thereby maintainin said switch 'contact and the contact strip 5 upon thehinsulationgbase 10;V The contact strip\55 terminates -1n a terminal. 58 .substantially similar to the terminal 25 andsaid terminal 58 isl adapted to be connected tothe current supply l-ine' and,

therefore, the live side of the line. The contact `switch late 52 is provided with a pro-` jecting portion 59 and the insulating member to receive the rojecting portion 59.

From the oregoing 1ty will `be observedv that/ msulatm member 42 is rigidly secured in position y means of the U-sliaped handle 44 and the contact plate or plates 52. v'It will/also be noted that in order-to close the thermally controlledswitch itis neces-v n sary' toopen the circuitbetwe'en the switchL i plate 52 and the contact 54, and after said switch.. has been closed in order to supply current to the circuit, the handle must v-be moved into the opposite direction, as y xshown in Figs. 2and8, and close the circuit through/the switch plate 52 and contact 54.-

Ilf theabnormal circuit conditions persist, current will'A again passthrough the thermostat and release the switch controlled thereby and'thereby prevent the passage of current to the load. Thus, the load will be protected at all times. `In order to close the 42isvprovided with an opening 60 adapted 110 thermally controlled switch, after the second 'operation thereof, it is again necessary to open the mainline switch including the plate 52 and contact 54 `and thereby open the whole circuit in order to close the thermally controlled switch.4 So long as the abnormal condition exists in the load circuit `it is impossiblev to supply current to the load circuit-without having the thermally controlled switch operate.

With the foregoing construction it will be realized that the device is absolutely fools proof so far as av single line is concerned and the device is adapted to replace the fuse and switch construction now employed as standard wiring members. It will, of course, be understood that the capacity of the switch is determined by the kind and amount of material and thevconstruction of the thermostat. All of the current passes through the thermostat, although, if desired,l the thermostat may be shunted and a portion of the current pass through the shunt.

In the drawings there is illustrated a double switch construction which may be utilized in direct current wiring or single phase alternating current wiring system. The generic idea of the invention as shown herein, which may be briefly stated as non-closing, load in the line switch, may be extended to multiple phase alternating current system without departing therefrom, but such an extension cooperative arrangement between the phases forms no part of the present invention, but is reserved for subsequent application.

A further feature of the invention is to make the same fool-proof, in that it is always desirable to prevent tampering or unauthorized interference with the switch construction. A cover is provided which is suitably apertured to permit the handle 48 to extend through said cover and the cover 70 is provided with a flange portion 71 and, as shown clearly in Figs. 2, 3, 4 and 10, the

vbase 10 is apertured at 72 andin said aperture there. is secured a bolt 73 which is associated with the nut 74 which is provided with a flat face, sa'id face enga ing u n the side of the cover 70. The nut t us is eld against rotation bythe cover. Likewise the cover, when secured to the base 10 b means of the bolt 73, cannot be removed rom said base without first removing the base 10 from its support. Under-the underwriters Ypresent wirin requirements,` a grounded cabinet m'ust e provided and said grounded cabinet is so constructed that the line wire and the load kwire must beQ disconnected from the switch construction 'supported by the baselO before said base can be removed from said cabinet. The removal of the cover 70 from the base 10, to permit access to be had tothe switch construction, necessitates the r removal of base 10 from its support to get controlled switc lat bolt 73. Only a competent electrician will follow the foregoing inconvenient procedure, and this is what the device isintended to insure, as .well as automatically protect the load circuit.

In order to fully protect the catch, thermostat and the mountlng thereof, a ycap is provided, said cap comprises a top portion 80, a pair of adjacent dependin walls 81 and an apertured side wall 82 wit a retaining portion 83. Said cap construction is adapted to substantially enclose the thermostat member 16 and yet permit the latch to be associated with the catch portion. The nut l5 secures the cap to the stud 13, and preferably is soldered to the standard 11 when said stud 13 and nut 15 aresoldered thereto, thereby forming a rigid joint. To prevent excessive movement of the thermostat, thus permanently deforming the same, a stop member 85, see rFig. 11, is provided `which is suitably secured to the" late 12 and limits movement as indicated in igs. 1 to 4, inclusive.
