A switch, includes electrical contacts separated by a contact gap, a tubular guide disposed around at least one of the electrical contacts axially movable between an open position retracted from the contact gap and a closed position bridging the contact gap, a blast cylinder disposed radially outward of the tubular guide and defining a compression volume therebetween, the blast cylinder axially movable in coordination with the tubular guide between the open position and the closed position, an isolating ring coupled to a tubular guide end, and a blast cylinder bottom ring coupled to a blast cylinder end, the blast cylinder bottom ring and the isolating ring configured to engage each other to form a gas seal to prevent a gas from exiting the contact gap into the compression volume when the blast cylinder and the tubular guide are moved to the closed position.

A high-voltage power switch, preferably with a dead tank design, contains: a switching unit that has a switching device and an actuation element that is axially movable in relation to a longitudinal axis of the switching device to actuate the switching device and a closing resistor unit that has a closing resistor arrangement and an adjusting element that is axially movable in relation to a longitudinal axis of this closing resistor arrangement to actuate the closing resistor arrangement. The actuation element is coupled to the adjusting element in order to move the latter. Accordingly, the longitudinal axis of the switching unit and the longitudinal axis of the closing resistor unit are spaced apart, and the actuation and adjusting elements are coupled by a coupling device of the high-voltage power switch.

In an apparatus for transmitting and method a movement which, as a function of a first, translational movement of a first coupling element to which a first component can be coupled, produces a translational movement of a second coupling element to which a second component can be coupled. The invention provides that the first and the second coupling element are connected to one another, such that they can move by a first rigid element, and in that the first coupling element is connected to a first lever which is mounted in a fixed position, and the second coupling element is connected to a second lever which is mounted in a fixed position. When a movement is being transmitted, the arrangement thus results in the capability first of all to retard the movement of the second component and later to accelerate it again in a corresponding manner, or vice versa.
