Abstract

An auxiliary switch for a circuit-breaker includes a casing containing at least one contact blade member mobile under the control of a pivoting and sliding actuator lever between a closed position and an open position. The actuator lever has a lateral actuator pin which projects out of the casing through a slot in the latter. The slot has a localized escape lobe away from its main part and which receives the actuator pin.
