A lid () and a cover main body () are formed with sliding contacts () that slide in sliding contact with each other immediately before the lid () reaches a lid-closing position for damping biasing forces given from coil springs () to the lid (). Frictional resistance is created by the sliding contact of the sliding contacts () and the biasing forces given from the torsion coil springs () to the lid () are damped by this frictional resistance. In this way, an impact given when the lid () reaches the cover main body () at the lid-closing position is alleviated.

A circuit breaker includes, a cylindrical portion having a gunpowder and a exploding unit for exploding the gunpowder by application of electric power to the gunpowder, the cylindrical portion being provided with an opening at at least one end; a base material securing the cylindrical portion, at least the surface of which is made of insulating material; a conductor fixed to the base material and having a break portion located at a position opposite to the opening of the cylindrical portion, the break portion being broken by explosive force of the gunpowder; a first metallic cover portion covering the cylindrical portion and the break portion; and a second metallic cover portion covering the base material from an opposite side to the cylindrical portion, wherein the first and second cover portions are fixed to the base material by directly connecting the first and second cover portions each other.

Circuit breaker

A bus bar is connected between a battery post and a stud bolt to which an electric power supply wire is connected. An opening is provided in a housing in which an explosive sealing portion is accommodated. Just before the opening, a broken portion of the bus bar is provided. In the broken portion, a recess portion is formed, and this portion of the broken portion is thin. On both sides of the broken portion, a cutout portions are formed. In case of emergency, electric current generates in a trigger wire, and an explosive in the explosive sealing portion is exploded. An explosive force is directed to the opening of the housing, and the broken portion located just before the opening receives the explosive force forward. Due to the foregoing, the recess portion is broken and both broken pieces are bent at the cutout portions and opened being separated from each other. In this way, an electric power supply circuit is shut off.

Circuit breaking device

A circuit breaking device includes a socket provided on the way of a circuit, a plug movably disposed in a direction that the plug is inserted into and removed from the socket, an explosive exploding in response to a trigger signal given thereto to thereby drive the plug by explosion force to move advanced, and the plug which is normally disposed in a retreated position at where the plug is in a conductive state with said socket, while the plug is in a non-conductive state with said socket when the plug moves to an advanced position.

A withdrawal apparatus for card like structures includes a body having two rigidly connected parallel sides defining a channel therebetween. A movable member is pivotally connected to the body via a flexible hinge and supports a pin at the end thereof opposite the hinge. Pivoting of the movable member about the hinge causes the pin to enter an aperture in the sides of the body and extending through the channel and any card like structure within the channel. A retaining member on the movable member cooperates with a retaining portion of the body to retain the pin within the aperture.
