A longitudinal switch for an electric contact locking and position changing system was designed to position securely the movable switch elements (7), which are urged by springs (5) and a rack (1) and toothed gear (8) mechanism for moving a vertical shaft (9), acting upon fixed elements (contacts) (16) of an electrically insulating rail surface (15). Positions are changed by turning a control button (39) and the toothed gear (8), causing the vertical shaft (9) to rotate, thus moving the rack (1) and causing the movable elements (7) to slide on the semicircular surface (17) of the fixed elements (16), overcoming the force of the springs (5) and compressing them. Once the gap between the fixed elements (16) is located, the springs (5) push back, keeping the movable elements (7) locked and ensuring the effective electric contact with the electric current passing through these points of contact.

A support-assembly suitable for a micro-switch of a switching device, including bracket-support-means suitable for being connected, in a stationary position, to a frame portion of the switching-device, coupling-protrusion-component shaped for being provided at an end of an operating-shaft of the micro-switch and for movably engaging with the bracket-support-component. The coupling-protrusion-component and the bracket-support-component being configured for enabling a rotation of the operating-shaft around a rotation-axis and for preventing a movement of the operating-shaft transversely to the rotation-axis.

The present disclosure relates to finger-safe requirements for breaker modules from electrical panel boards and envisages a finger safe cover 100a for a terminal of an electrical switching device 50. The finger safe cover comprises a cover body 110a with an expandable aperture section 120a. The aperture section 120a has an annulus 122a having a primary aperture 124a and a coupling section 126a surrounding the annulus 122a. The primary aperture 124a allows a thinner conducting cable 52 to pass therethrough. The coupling section 126a couples the annulus 122a with the cover body 110a. The aperture section 120a defines a secondary aperture 128a when the annulus 122a is detached from the cover body 110a by breaking the coupling section 126a, to allow to pass therethrough a thicker conducting cable 54. The cover 100a passes the IPXXB test, eliminates the need of safety accessories and is easy to install.
