Mechanism or resettable trip indicator mechanism for a circuit interrupter and circuit interrupter including the same

摘要

A circuit interrupter mechanism includes a first member (8) movable in a first longitudinal direction and an opposite second longitudinal direction, and a second member (9) pivotal in a first pivotal direction and an opposite second pivotal direction. A first tab (18) is fixedly coupled to one of the first and second members, and a second tab (20) is pivotally coupled to the other of the members. The first tab engages and disengages from the second tab during movement of the first member in the first longitudinal direction and in the second longitudinal direction. The second tab pivots with respect to the other of the members when engaged by the first tab during movement of the first member in the first longitudinal direction. The second tab does not pivot with respect to the other of the members when engaged by the first tab during movement of the first member in the second longitudinal direction.
