ABSTRACT:
A mechanism for accumulating and storing mechanical energy, wherein the energy is used to close the primary contacts of a circuit breaker. The energy can be input to the mechanism manually or by means of a motor. The mechanism includes a series of linkages which function to utilize the energy to close the primary contacts. These linkages also function to maintain the closing force upon the primary contacts, while also functioning to allow rapid contact opening when desired.
