<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a circuit breaker that implements simple assembly of a drive mechanism part and movable contacts, and a compact and thin design of the drive mechanism part. <P>SOLUTION: The circuit breaker includes: a drive mechanism part 10 operatively interlocked with making/breaking motion of a handle; three movable contacts 3 each having a movable contact point 3a at one end portion of a conductor formed in a plate shape, and operatively interlocked with the drive mechanism part 10 to make/break a circuit; and fixed contacts each having a fixed contact point adapted for contact with the movable contact point 3a to form a state of contact/noncontact with the movable contact 3. The drive mechanism part 10 includes an ON mechanism part 10a for pressing the movable contacts 3 when the circuit is made, and an OFF mechanism part 10b for pressing the movable contacts 3 in the opposite direction to the pressing direction of the ON mechanism part 10a when the circuit is broken or when tripped. This structure implements simple assembly of the drive mechanism part 10 and the movable contacts 3, and a compact and thin design of the drive mechanism part 10. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
