Abstract:
This invention relates to a switching device ( 10 ). More specifically, the invention relates to a retrofit switching device ( 10 ) for mechanically switching a plurality of switches between on and/or off conditions. It is envisaged that the primary application of such invention is for switching circuit breakers configured along one or more rows on a distribution board. The switching device ( 10 ) includes a pair of primary parallel guide rails ( 12,14 ), a means for anchoring the switching device ( 10 ) to a switch covering panel (i.e. a distribution board panel) and a carriage ( 22 ), supported across the primary parallel guide rails ( 12,14 ) and movable back-and- forth therealong along a first axis, the carriage ( 22 ) comprising thereon: (i) a switch engaging formation for operably switching the switches between on and off conditions; and (ii) a primary drive ( 26 ) for moving the switch engaging formation back-and-forth along a second axis, wherein the first and second axes are transverse one another. The switching device ( 10 ) further includes a secondary drive ( 28 ) for moving the carriage along the primary parallel guide rails ( 12, 14 ) and operably along the one or more rows of switches, a controller for at least actuating the primary ( 26 ) and the secondary drives ( 28 ), and a power source for powering at least the primary drive ( 26 ), the secondary drive ( 28 ) and the controller.

Claim (Index 8):
A switching device according to  claim 7 , wherein the secondary parallel guide rails are elongate cylindrical bars fixed to the anchoring means, the primary structure being movable back-and-forth along the secondary parallel guide rails by a secondary belt passing between the primary structure and the tertiary drive.
