Circuit breaker terminal shield with position indicator

A circuit breaker housing assembly comprising:

• a housing assembly body including an alignment surface;
• an elongated terminal fastener coupled to the housing assembly body, the terminal fastener structured to move between two positions, a first position, wherein the terminal fastener is not set, and a second position, wherein the terminal fastener is set;
• a position indicator including an indicator member and an elongated spacer member;
• the indicator member including an alignment surface;
• the spacer member coupled to the indicator member and extending away from the indicator member alignment surface;
• the indicator member movably coupled to the housing assembly body adjacent a terminal fastener with the spacer member aligned with the terminal fastener;
• the indicator member structured to move between a first position, wherein the indicator member alignment surface is not aligned with the housing assembly body alignment surface, and a second position, wherein the indicator member alignment surface is generally aligned with the housing assembly body alignment surface;
• and
• wherein the spacer member engages the terminal fastener when the terminal fastener is in the terminal fastener first position and the spacer member prevents the indicator member from moving, into the indicator member second position.

A terminal shield for a circuit breaker housing assembly, the circuit breaker housing assembly including a body, the housing assembly body including an alignment surface and a first end, a terminal assembly including three terminals including a first terminal, a second terminal, and a third terminal, each terminal including an elongated terminal fastener, each terminal body defining a fastener passage and a conductor passage, each terminal fastener disposed in a terminal fastener passage, each terminal fastener structured to move between two positions, a first position, wherein the terminal fastener is not set, and a second position, wherein the terminal fastener is set, each terminal coupled to the housing assembly body first end and disposed in a spaced parallel relationship, the terminal shield comprising:

• a terminal shield body including a generally planar member having an upper surface and a lower surface;
• an indicator member including an alignment surface disposed on the terminal shield body planar member upper surface;
• three elongated spacer members;
• each spacer member coupled to the indicator member and extending away from the indicator member alignment surface;
• the planar member movably coupled to the circuit breaker housing assembly adjacent a terminal fastener with each spacer member aligned with a terminal fastener;
• the indicator member structured to move between a first position, wherein the indicator member alignment surface is not aligned with the housing assembly body alignment surface, and a second position, wherein the indicator member alignment surface is generally aligned with the housing assembly body alignment surface;
• and
• wherein each spacer member engages the aligned terminal fastener when the terminal fastener is in the terminal fastener first position and the spacer member aligned terminal fastener in the terminal fastener first position prevents the indicator member from moving into the indicator member second position.
