CIRCUIT BREAKER MOTOR AND HANDLE CLUTCH ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A circuit breaker having stationary and movable contacts operable between open and closed positions with the movable contact being biased in an open position. The movable contact is mounted to a contact holder which engages one link in a toggle means. The first link is connected to a second link which has a drive pin secured thereto, and the second link is pivotally connected to a toggle lever. A cam is secured to a rotatable drive shaft, and the cam engages a cam roller which is secured to a follower plate. The fol- lower plate has a drive pawl attached thereto, with the drive pawl being disposed adjacent the drive pin. Spring means are pivotally connected to the follower plate and are capable of being in spring charged and discharged positions. The spring is charged by rotation of the drive shaft and cam causing the cam roller to move outwardly. The outward move- ment of the cam roller causes rotation of the follower plate, resulting in charging of the spring means. When the spring means discharges, it causes rotation of the follower plate such that the drive pawl is capable of engaging the drive pin to move the toggle means into toggle position. Upon moving into toggle position, the toggle means moves the contact holder and movable contact into closed position. Also included are releasable toggle and drive latch means for holding the toggle means in toggle position and the follower plate in the spring charged position, respectively. Means for rotating the drive shaft include a handle secured to the drive shaft and a motor operator having a rotatable -1- output shaft which is capable of engaging the drive shaft and which can be easily installed. A motor and handle clutch is used to prevent rotation of the handle upon rotation of the motor, and to prevent rotation of the motor upon rotation of the handle.
