Semi-independent switch-disconnector

2:

• The disconnector of claim 1, wherein the two biasing member are resiliently deformable.

(canceled)

4:

• The disconnector of claim 1, wherein the two biasing members comprise two springs, one spring arranged at each end of the moveable bridge contact, each spring being configured to compress as the moveable bridge contact is urged in the axial direction.

5:

• The disconnector of claim 1, wherein the first and second fixed contacts are arranged between the cam follower and the moveable bridge contact, such that:
• in the first position, the moveable bridge contact is in electrical contact with the first and second fixed contact terminals to define a current conduction path between the first conductor and the second conductor, and
• in the second position, the moveable bridge contact is electrically and physically separate from the first and second fixed contact terminals and the current conduction path is open.

6:

• The disconnector of claim 1, wherein the moveable bridge contact is arranged between the cam follower and the first and second fixed contacts, such that:
• in the second position, the moveable bridge contact is in electrical contact with the first and second fixed contact terminals to define a current conduction path between the first conductor and the second conductor, and
• in the first position, the moveable bridge contact is electrically and physically separate from the first and second fixed contact terminals and the current conduction path is open.

7:

• The disconnector of claim 1, wherein the cam surface comprises a protruding portion and the following surface comprises a detent, the protruding portion being configured to be received by the detent to define a stop position of the cam, and
• wherein, when the cam is in the stop position, the moveable bridge contact is in the second position.

8:

• The disconnector of claim 1, wherein the cam is fixed in the axial direction.

9:

• The disconnector of claim 1, wherein both the following surface and the cam surface comprise corresponding angled portions which are in contact with one another when the moveable bridge contact is in the first position.

10:

• The disconnector of claim 9, wherein the following surface and the cam surface are in contact with one another along an entire length of the angled portion when the moveable bridge contact is in the first position.

11:

• The disconnector of claim 1, wherein the angled portion is angled such that the urging of the moveable bridge contact in the axial direction from the first position to the second position is dependent on user input, and movement of the moveable bridge contact towards the first position by the biasing mechanism is at least partially independent of user input.

13:

• The disconnector of claim 12, wherein the switch and the second switch are arranged along a direction perpendicular to the axial direction.

16:

• The disconnector of claim 4, further comprising a middle spring arranged between the two springs,
• wherein the middle spring is in contact with the cam follower and is initially configured to compress as the cam follower is urged in the axial direction.
