ABSTRACT:
The handle of a circuit breaker is blocked from movement to the off positiion, when the contacts are welded closed, thereby preventing rotation of the common cross-bar on which contact arms carrying the movable contacts are mounted, by an interlock which includes radial extensions on the arms of a pivoted handle yoke which radially engage projections on the cross-bar.
