Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
Disclosed is a snap action circuit breaker with a compact one piece steel frame in a two part telescoping, molded circuit breaker case. The compact construction is combined with a symmetrical toggle actuator to provide a pleasing appearance suitable for mounting at readily accessible and visible locations on the front of an instrument panel. A variety of handle constructions are usable with the same basic mechanism. By providing a snap actuated contact construction with substantial overcurrent trip delay the device combines the best features of modern manual switches and circuit breakers so that it is in effect a manual switch with nuisance free overcurrent trip protection.
