This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18245915 titled 'SWITCH
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a switch with multiple electrode portions that can move relative to each other.
- The switch includes a tripping mechanism that separates the movable electrodes from the fixed electrodes.
- The switch also includes a second movable portion that is integrated with the movable electrodes.
- A first elastic part applies pressure to bring the movable electrodes into contact with the fixed electrodes.
- A damping mechanism is included to reduce the contraction of the first elastic part during the tripping operation.
Original Abstract Submitted
A switch includes: a plurality of electrode portions each including a fixed electrode and a movable electrode, the movable electrode being capable of moving with respect to the fixed electrode; an operating device including a first movable portion for collectively performing tripping operation for the plurality of electrode portions, the movable electrodes being separated from the fixed electrodes in the tripping operation; a second movable portion integrated with the respective movable electrodes of the plurality of electrode portions; a first elastic part that applies pressure for bringing the movable electrodes into contact with the fixed electrodes, the first elastic part being disposed between the first movable portion and the second movable portion; and a damping mechanism that damps contraction of the first elastic part during the tripping operation.
