Patent ID: 8624145

Claim:
An indicator device for displaying a status of switching contacts of a circuit breaker that includes an energy store configured to store energy for passing over the switching contacts from a closed position to an opened position when stored energy in the energy store is released and a latching device for closing the switching contacts, the indicator device comprising: a lever including a display element, the lever being movable between a triggered position and a non-triggered position based upon at least one operational parameter; and a coupling element operatively connected to the lever so as to be movable between a triggered position and a non-triggered position by the lever, the coupling element being configured to be further operatively connected to a first actuator of the energy store so as to be movable by the first actuator into the non-triggered position when energy is stored in the first energy store and so as to not be moved from the non-triggered position into the triggered position when energy stored in the energy store is released.
