ABSTRACT:
A molded case circuit breaker is provided with a toggle assembly having upper toggle links secured to U-shaped members of a cradle assembly with a hardened pin. The pin is formed with annular grooves disposed intermediate the ends forming a center sleeve portion and stop surfaces at each end. The center sleeve portion is slightly longer than the width of the U-shaped member to provide spacing between the upper toggle links and the U-shaped members. The upper toggle links are formed with U-shaped slots disposed at one end which are received in the annular grooves. The U-shaped slots formed at the other end of the toggle links are offset from the longitudinal axis of the toggle links and receive the pin. The upper toggle links are assembled such the offset U-shaped grooves are disposed in opposite directions to help secure the the assembly together. Tolerances in the components will allow a certain amount of axial movement of the upper toggle links and U-shaped members with respect to the pin, which can result in relatively large axial forces on the pin. Since the pin is formed from a hardened metal, the possibility of a failure of the pin is greatly reduced.
