Abstract
A single pole molded case circuit breaker is constructed with an internal metal frame to which the contact operating mechanism is mounted. This mechanism includes a releaseable latch for maintaining the mechanism cradle in its reset position wherein the circuit breaker contacts may be closed. The latch is a plate-like element having an integrally formed ear that directly engages the cradle for latching thereof. A socket rivet provides a cantilevered support for the latch on the frame. This rivet is keyed to the latch so that operation of the latter may be coordinated with operation of an external device.
