Abstract
An actuating arm, coupled with the breaker contacts, is pivotally mounted to an accessory latch normally constrained from pivotal movement by a latch lever. Upon automatic tripping of the breaker, the actuating arm is swung about its pivotal mounting to a breaker lockout position, incidentally releasing an operating lever for movement from a de-actuating position to a bell alarm switch actuating position. Unlatching of the latch by the latch lever allows the actuating arm to swing about the latch pivot to a defeat position, removing the breaker lockout and returning the switch operating lever to its de-actuating position. The accessory latch is relatched, via the actuating arm, coincidentally with closure of the breaker contacts.
