Circuit interrupter, trip deck assembly, and support for switch therefor

A combination comprising:

• a support;
• and a switch;
• the support being structured to mount the switch to a platform;
• the switch having a housing and further having a plunger that is movably situated on the housing to change the switch between a first state and a second state;
• the support comprising:
• a base engaged with the housing, the base having an opening formed therein receives therethrough at least a portion of at least one of the housing and the plunger;
• a number of walls situated on the base;
• a mounting apparatus that is structured to be usable to affix the number of walls to the platform;
• and a receptacle that is situated adjacent the base and the number of walls and that receives the housing therein;
• the trip deck assembly being structured to be usable with a circuit interrupter having a plurality of poles, a crossbar, and a trip bar, the circuit interrupter being movable among a plurality of conditions that include an ON condition, an OFF condition, and a TRIPPED condition, the trip deck assembly further comprising:
• a platform apparatus upon which the mounting apparatus is situated, the platform apparatus being, structured to be affixed to the circuit interrupter;
• the plunger being structured to be in a first position engaged with the crossbar to cause the switch to be in its first state in the ON condition, the plunger being structured to be in a second position different from first position to cause the switch to be in its second state in the OFF condition and the TRIPPED condition;
• and
• another switch disposed on the platform apparatus and having another housing and further having another plunger that is movably situated on the another housing to change the another switch between a first state and a second state, the another plunger being structured to be in a first position engaged with the trip bar to cause the another switch to be in its first state in the ON condition and the OFF condition, the another plunger being structured to be in a second position different from first position to cause the another switch to be in its second state in the TRIPPED condition.
