Definitions

  • This invention relates to an improved circuit breaker and more particularly to an improved case for small, molded case circuit breakers and to a mounting plate for mounting a circuit breaker to a panel.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide an insert rivet which will advise the intelligent operator, by an increase in the torque required to continue insertion of the screw, that the screw has travelled far enough and that further travel of the screw may damage the circuit breaker case.
  • a further object of this invention is to provide a case construction for a circuit breaker which may be easily adapted for use as a series trip circuit breaker, a relay trip circuit breaker, a shunt trip or calibrating tap circuit breaker, or for the addition of an auxiliary switch.
  • a still further object is to provide an adapter plate for mounting a small, molded case circuit breaker to a panel, which may be a metal panel, where the panel has an opening intended to receive a larger circuit breaker.

  • FIG. 7 is a partial view similar to FIG. 6 but showing a shunt trip or calibrating tap construction
  • FIG. 8 is a partial view similar to FIG. 7 but showing an auxiliary switch construction, the movable arm being in the contacts open position, hence the plunger of the auxiliary switch is not depressed;

  • FIG. 16 is an exploded, perspective view of the circuit breaker, adapter plate and panel shown in FIG. 14.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a circuit breaker 10 having a case 12 formed by two half-cases 14 and 16 of molded insulation material. As illustrated, in FIG. 1, the circuit breaker includes terminals 18 and 20 to connect it to a suitable circuit and a handle 22 for manual control.
  • the two half-cases 14 and 16 are secured together, on the right, as viewed in FIG. 1, by two insert rivets 24, constructed in accordance with this invention, and, on the left, by two conventional rivets 25. r
  • the two insert rivets 24 are substantially identical and for brevity the description will be limited to one unless otherwise noted.
  • the insert rivet 24 comprises a square shaped, as viewed in FIG. 3, central body 26 and two integral arms 28 extending one each from opposite, generally fiat, sides 30 and 31 of the body 26.
  • the arms 28 each comprise a cylindrical section 32 joined to another longer cylindrical section 34 of smaller diameter by a connecting, conical portion 36.
  • the cylindrical sections 32 and 34, and the conical portion 36, are solid, as shown.
  • the body 26 is of generally rectangular shape lengthwise, as shown in FIG. 3, but the lower ends of the opposite sides 38 are tapered inwardly, see FIG. 14.
  • the body 26 has a central bore which is threaded, as indicated at 40, and which communicates with, and is aligned with, an unthreaded hole 42 formed by an inwardly extending annulus 44.
  • the body 26 is received in a well 46 formed approximately one half in each of the half-cases 14 and 16, the well 46 being deep enough so that the topsurface 48 of the body 26 is below the surrounding surface 50 of the half-cases which abut a panel to which the case 12 may be secured.
  • the well 46 is made slightly wider than the distance between opposed surface 30 and 31, but the surface 54 is accurately positioned relative to the surface 56 of the half-case 16 (which defines the middle of the case 12) and against which a corresponding surface 58 of the halfcase 14 abuts.
  • the length of the body 26 is such relative to the depth of the well 46 that the bottom surface 45 is spaced above the bottom surface 60 of the well when the arms 28 are received within holes 62, shaped to mate with the arms 28, as shown. Further, the arms 28 are long enough to extend through and to the outer surfaces of the cases 14 and 16.
  • the insert rivets 24 are placed within the wells 46 and the holes 62.
  • the insert rivets are biased against the case 16 and the end of the left arm, as viewed in FIGS. 2 and 3 is upset first and peened over, the right hand arm being held against movement and the half-case 16 being held firmly at such time. Thereafter, the end of the right hand arm 28 is upset and peened over, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the insert rivet provides a means for securing together two half-cases 14 and 16 and a means to secure the circuit breaker to a panel by inserting screws into the threaded bores 40.
  • the screws which are used have a strength such that, if they are too long, upon engagement of the forward end of the screw with the unthreaded annulus 44 if the torque is increased on the screw, the screw will shear before the front portion of the screw is forced through the case surface 61 i.e., before the case is damaged. Even if the screw does not shear, if the screw is so long that it engages the annulus 42 before the case 12 is brought up tightly against the panel, the increase in torque required on the screw, to continue insertion into the insert rivet, should indicate to the operator that something is wrong and he may check before continuing to insert the screw to an extent that results in damage to the case.
  • the insert rivet 24 has a semi-self-aligning feature because the body 26 is received loosely in the well 46 as are the arms 28 in their holes, and the arms 28 are circular as are their mating holes 62. That is, if the vertical distance, as viewed in FIG. 2, does not exactly match the corresponding vertical distance in the panel, the insert rivets may shift vertically toward or away from each other, as required. Note that if the mounting holes in the panel do not lie along a common vertical plane, the circuit breaker may be twisted bodily to correspond to the inclined plane of the holes in the mounting panel.
  • One of the tapered sides 38 is made so because one of the walls of one of the wells, see FIGS. 4, and 14 is inclined at its lower end portion, to accommodate an internal part of the circuit breaker.
  • the other sides 38 are made tapered to facilitate the shifting and self-aligning previously described and for uniformity of production parts. Also, the space provided by the tapered sides permits the tapered sides to bulge outwardly somewhat without stressing the case at a location of the case where the case wall is thin, should the screw bottom in the annulus 44.
  • the insert rivets 24 are made as zinc die castings.
  • the insert rivet After the insert rivet is peened over at the opposite ends of the arms 28, the insert rivet has very little, if any, free play axially, i.e., horizontally in FIGS. 2 and 3. However, because of the circular arms 28, circular mating holes 62, the space between the bottom of the body 26 and the body of the well, the space between the sides 38 and the corresponding sides of the well, and the taper at the lower ends of the sides 38, the insert rivet may pivot about its horizontal axis to align itself, to some extent, with the holes in the panel.
  • case material is a substantially brittle plastic capable of very little flexibility, such as bakelite, it is seen that if the bottom of the body 26 (FIG. 3) or the lower ends of the sides 30, 31 or 38 should bulge, when the screw engages the annulus 44, that the case might be damaged but for the spaces which tend to accommodate the bulges.
  • the unthreaded hole 42 facilitates the cutting of the thread in the bore 40 and also tends to reduce the size of the bulge downwardly when the screw bottoms on the annulus 44.
  • the approximate halfcase 16 comprises a side wall 70 and integral, peripheral walls on its four margins, i.e., a top or front wall 71, end walls 72 and 73, and a bottom wall 74.
  • the approximate half-case 14 comprises a side wall 78 and integral, peripheral walls on its four margins, i.e., a top or front wall 79, end walls and 81, and a bottom wall 82.
  • the side walls and the peripheral walls jointly define a cavity within which are placed the internal parts of the circuit breaker, some of which are illustrated in FIG. 6.
  • the bottom walls 74 and 82 are beveled, as shown at 86 and 87, on the inside, and are integral with depending, projecting walls 90 and 91 extending outwardly and together forming an auxiliary cavity the wall 90 defines a space 94 which forms approximately one-half of the cavity 100.
