Abstract:
A power source breaker having a pair of terminals intervened in a power supply circuit connecting a battery of a road vehicle to loads and having a shaft contacting with and disconnecting from said pair of terminals in sliding movement, said shaft movable from an initial position where each of said pair of terminals is set in a connected state with each other to an isolated position where each of said pair of terminals is set in a released state with each other, resulting in isolation of said power supply circuit, the power source breaker comprising:a release spring for imparting a pushing force to the shaft to slide said shaft from said initial position to said isolated position; and a lock rotatable around a central axis of a rotary axle along a plane substantially perpendicular to a sliding direction of said shaft; and an interfering portion of said lock for interfering with said shaft at said initial position, and by change of a rotation angle of the rotary axle of said lock, said shaft being movable to said isolated position where said interfering portion does not interfere with said shaft.
