An electrical switching apparatus with separable contacts, comprising a switching device with: - a fixed electrical contact and a movable electrical contact that can move between a closed position and an open position; - a control lever mechanically coupled to the movable electrical contact , the control lever being rotatable, about a first axis of rotation (X18), between a first position and a second position, being configured such that moving the control lever from the first position to the second position results in the movable contact moving from the closed position to the open position; - an anti-rebound lever , which is mounted on the control lever by means of a pivot connection and which is rotatable by means of the pivot connection about a second axis of rotation (X26) parallel to the first axis of rotation (X18) between a rest position and a deployed position; the anti-rebound lever being configured to move from the rest position to the extended position when the operating lever reaches the second position and to cooperate with a stop of the switching device when the anti-rebound lever is in its extended position and the operating lever is in the second position to prevent the operating lever from leaving the second position; characterised in that the switching device comprises a fixed bearing mounted around the operating lever , the anti-rebound lever comprising a contact portion which contacts an edge of the fixed bearing when the anti-rebound lever is in its rest position and which moves along said edge as the operating lever rotates around the bearing , and in that the fixed bearing has, at said edge, a cam-shaped guide portion configured to urge the anti-kickback lever towards its extended position. - a fixed electrical contact and a movable electrical contact that can move between a closed position and an open position; - a control lever mechanically coupled to the movable electrical contact , the control lever being rotatable, about a first axis of rotation (X18), between a first position and a second position, being configured such that moving the control lever from the first position to the second position results in the movable contact moving from the closed position to the open position; - an anti-rebound lever , which is mounted on the control lever by means of a pivot connection and which is rotatable by means of the pivot connection about a second axis of rotation (X26) parallel to the first axis of rotation (X18) between a rest position and a deployed position; the anti-rebound lever being configured to move from the rest position to the extended position when the operating lever reaches the second position and to cooperate with a stop of the switching device when the anti-rebound lever is in its extended position and the operating lever is in the second position to prevent the operating lever from leaving the second position; characterised in that the switching device comprises a fixed bearing mounted around the operating lever , the anti-rebound lever comprising a contact portion which contacts an edge of the fixed bearing when the anti-rebound lever is in its rest position and which moves along said edge as the operating lever rotates around the bearing , and in that the fixed bearing has, at said edge, a cam-shaped guide portion configured to urge the anti-kickback lever towards its extended position. characterised in that the switching device comprises a fixed bearing mounted around the operating lever , the anti-rebound lever comprising a contact portion which contacts an edge of the fixed bearing when the anti-rebound lever is in its rest position and which moves along said edge as the operating lever rotates around the bearing , and in that the fixed bearing has, at said edge, a cam-shaped guide portion configured to urge the anti-kickback lever towards its extended position. <EOS>
