Abstract

Interrupteur électrique multipolaire muni d'une poignée 4 et d'un boítier 1 dans lequel un organe de came transforme le mouvement de rotation de la poignée en mouvement de translation de ponts de contact 21. L'organe de came comprend pour assurer la coopération entre un noyau de commande cylindrique 13 et un coulisseau 16 portant librement les ponts de contact, d'une part au moins deux encoches 19,20 décalées autour de l'axe de rotation X de la manette 4c, d'autre part une saillie de commande 14 appliquée en position arrêt et respectivement en position marche au fond de l'une ou l'autre encoche par l'effort de ressorts 24 sollicitant le coulisseau et des ressorts de pression de contact 22.

Figure 00000001
Multipolar electrical switch provided with a handle 4 and a housing 1 in which a cam member transforms the rotational movement of the handle into translational movement of contact bridges 21. The cam member comprises to ensure cooperation between a cylindrical control core 13 and a slide 16 freely carrying the contact bridges, on the one hand at least two notches 19,20 offset around the axis of rotation X of the lever 4c, on the other hand a control projection 14 applied in the off position and respectively in the on position at the bottom of one or the other notch by the force of springs 24 urging the slide and the contact pressure springs 22.
