Manual actuating device for enclosed electrical switches

A manual actuating device for an electric switch which is built into a cubicle and adapted to be activated by means of a handle mounted on an openable door via a rotatable switch shaft, said actuating device comprising:

• a first coupling member rotatably mounted in a door and fixedly connected to a handle and a second coupling member mounted on the switch shaft, said two coupling members being adapted to telescopingly engage with each other by closing the door and comprising mutually cooperating guiding surfaces which make the insertion of one of said coupling members into the other possible irrespective of misalignment therebetween by means of misalignment compensating means, and blocking means to secure against opening and closing of the door while the switch is connected, characterized in that said second coupling member comprises an engaging member cooperating with said first coupling member and a mounting member fixedly mounted on the switch shaft, said engaging member and said mounting member being mutually connected by means of said misalignment compensating means which is adapted to make possible the adjustment of said engaging member in any direction perpendicular to the axis of the switch shaft.
