Next, the operation will be described. In the disconnection state of the draw-out circuit breaker 2 shown in FIG. 1, the main screw 7 starts to mesh with the insert screw 6, so that the other end 23b of the connecting pin 23 contacts the insert screw 6 as shown in FIG. The connection pin 23, the indicator cam 19, the interlocking plate 21, and the indicator 18 do not operate without contact, and the disconnection display 18b at the upper stage of the indicator 18 is in a state of being visible from the upper display hole 15c of the indicator cover 15. In this disconnection state, the step 16c of the lock plate 16 is pushed by the lock plate spring 17 and engaged with the edge of the projecting hole 15b as shown in FIGS. 3, the other end 16b of the lock plate 16 moves the screw lock 12 forward by guiding the inside of the left and right frames 9A with the guide 24 against the screw lock spring 13 as shown by the solid line in FIGS. The concave portion 14 is not engaged with and is in an unlocked state.

When the one end 16a of the lock plate 16 is lifted from this unlocked state (in the direction of arrow 25 in FIG. 14), the lock plate 16 is pushed by the lock plate spring 17 to project, and is imagined in FIGS. 5 and 7. As shown by the line, the screw lock 12 released from the other end 16b of the lock plate 16 is pressed by the screw lock spring 13 and the pin 11 engages with the recess 14. Therefore, the pin 11 is inserted from the round hole 15a of the indicator cover 15. The main handle 7 cannot be rotated by the pull-out handle, and it is locked.

When the main screw 7 is rotated clockwise by the pull-out handle from the unlocked disconnection state shown in FIGS. 1, 3, 13 (a) and 14, the main screw 7 is screwed into the insert screw 6. By doing so, the circuit breaker 2 is inserted. The other end 23b of the connecting pin 23 hits the insert screw 6 on the way to push the connecting pin 23, the indicator cam 19 and the interlocking plate 21 are rotated counterclockwise, and the indicator 18 moves. The test state shown in (c) is reached. From the disconnection position of FIG. 13 (a) to the test position of FIG. 13 (c), as shown in FIGS. 13 (b) and 15, the step portion 16c of the lock plate 16 continues to the edge of the projecting hole 15b. The lock plates 16 are held in the unlocked state because they are engaged with the edges of the openings 18a of the indicators 18, respectively. However, during that time, the lock plate 16 is gradually lifted by the cam surface 18A of the indicator 18 as shown in FIG. 13B, and the upper and lower step portions 16c of the lock plate 16 are projected into the projecting hole at the test position of FIG. 13C. 15b and the edges of the opening 18a are disengaged, that is, when the indicator 18 reaches the test position of FIG. 13C, the lock plate 16 is projected by the lock plate spring 17 and is automatically locked. In this test state, the middle test display 18b of the indicator 18 is in a state of being exposed from the middle display hole 15c of the indicator cover 15.

When the main screw 7 is rotated clockwise by the pull-out handle from the test state in which the one end 16a of the lock plate 16 is pushed in to release the lock, the main screw 7 is screwed into the insert screw 6 and the circuit breaker 2 is opened. It is inserted further. Then, the connection state shown in FIGS. 2, 11, and 13 (e) is obtained. In this connected state, the circuit breaker side conductor 5 is connected to the lead frame side conductor 3 via the junction 4.

From the test position of FIG. 13C to the connection position of FIG. 13E, the step portion 16c of the lock plate 16 engages with the edge of the projecting hole 15b as shown in FIG. 13D. Therefore, the lock plate 16 is held in the unlocked state. Then, the lock plate 16 is gradually lifted by the cam surface 18A of the indicator 18, and the step portion 16c of the lock plate 16 does not engage with the edge of the projecting hole 15b at the connecting position shown in FIG. At the connecting position shown in FIG. 13 (e), the lock plate 16 is projected by the lock plate spring 17 and is automatically locked. In this connection state, the lower connection display 18b of the indicator 18 can be seen from the lower display hole 15c of the indicator cover 15.

When the one end 16a of the lock plate 16 is pushed in to release the lock, the screw lock 12 pushes the one end protruding piece 12b to the lock plate 16, but the screw lock 12 has the guide 24 on the other end side on the left and right frames 9A. Since it abuts and slides, it does not turn sideways, and is smoothly pushed in the left and right frames 9A to be unlocked smoothly. When the main screw 7 is rotated counterclockwise by the pull-out handle from the connected state where the lock is released in this way, the circuit breaker 2 is pulled out.
