The invention relates to a circuit breaker with thermal trip means including an elongate bimetallic element and adjusting means therefor. …<??>The adjusting means comprises a lever (416) which is rigidly connected to the bimetallic element (410) adjacent the supported end thereof, and an adjusting member (screw 420) which cooperates with the lever and is manually operable to adjust the lever and, through its rigid connection with the bimetallic element, the latter. …<??>Any stress introduced in the bimetallic element during adjustment thereof is confined to the supported and inactive end portion of the element whereas its active portion, i.e. the portion which contributes to bimetallic deflection, remains unstressed. |
