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 5):
A switching device according to  claim 4 , wherein each of the first and the second spacers extend transversally across the respective end of the primary parallel guide rails and have one or more magnetic anchoring means located thereon for releasably mounting the switching device to the covering panel of the switches.
