DIN rail mountable circuit breaker

Means for mounting a split case circuit breaker or the like to an elongated channel shaped rail having laterally spaced oppositely projecting abutment flanges, said case comprising at least two complementary shells for housing the circuit breaker mechanism, at least one of said shells defining abutment means for engaging one of these abutment flanges, a one piece plastic latch member of T-shape having an integrally formed stem and base, said base having one end for engaging the other of said rail abutment flanges, said T-shaped member stem projecting at a substantial angle from and integrally connected to said base, said stem having a root end and said stem further having a free end opposite said root end, said free end defining an integrally formed rock shaft, said circuit breaker case shells as defining aligned sockets for loosely receiving segments of said rock shaft at said free end of said stem, said circuit breaker case shell also defining a clearance opening for said stem, said base including an opposite said one end and defining a tool opening for receiving tool for moving said T-shaped member thereby deforming said stem and disengaging said one end of said base from said other abutment flange.
