Abstract
Cradle assembly comprises a breaker-engaging frame slidably coupled to an enclosure-engaging frame. The enclosure will have a rear wall provided with forwardly extending stationary terminals. The breaker will have rearwardly facing terminals aligned for engaging the stationary terminals. The rear wall of the enclosure is fixed relative to the side walls of the enclosure. The enclosure-engaging frame of the cradle assembly engages the side walls as the breaker is mounted to the breaker-engaging frame. The cradle assembly facilitates moving the breaker between a connected and disconnected position. In the connected position, the breaker terminals are engaged with the enclosure stationary terminals. In the disconnected position, the breaker terminals are disengaged and spaced from the stationary terminals.
