Adapter mechanism for use with a circuit breaker

摘要

An adapter mechanism is configured to permit a previously known accessory device that had been configured to be used in conjunction with a previously known circuit breaker to be operatively connected with a different type of circuit breaker. The adapter mechanism includes a first interface that is engageable with a handle of the circuit breaker as well as a second interface that is engageable with a movable arm or a latch mechanism of the circuit breaker. The adapter mechanism further includes a support member upon which the first interface is rotatably disposed, with the support member being formed with a plurality of clips that permit the support member and thus the adapter mechanism to be removably mounted on the circuit breaker.
