Clutch coupled switch operator

A switch operator comprising:

• a DC motor,
• wherein said DC motor has an output shaft,
• a torque-speed modifying unit,
• wherein said torque-speed modifying unit has an input shaft attached to said output shaft of said DC motor,
• wherein said torque-speed modifying unit has an output shaft,
• an infinite engagement disk friction clutch coupling,
• wherein said clutch coupling is operatively coupled to said output shaft of said torque-speed modifying unit,
• wherein said clutch coupling is selectively engageable and disengageable,
• wherein said clutch coupling further has an output shaft, and
• an output coupling
• wherein said output coupling is attached to said output shaft of said clutch coupling.

A switch operator comprising:

• a rotational motor,
• wherein said rotational motor has an output shaft,
• an infinite engagement multiple disk friction clutch coupling,
• wherein said clutch has an input shaft,
• wherein said input shaft of said clutch coupling couples to said output shaft of said rotational motor means,
• wherein said clutch coupling is selectively engageable and disengageable,
• wherein said clutch coupling further has an output shaft, and
• an output coupling,
• wherein said output coupling is attached to said output shaft of said clutch coupling,
• a connecting arm having first and second ends,
• wherein said connecting arm is attached to said output coupling at said first end,
• wherein said connecting arm is adapted to be operatively coupled to a switch at said second end such that movement of said connecting arm operatively displaces the switch,
• a manual operation assembly operably adapted to be connected to the switch, said manual operation assembly comprising:
• a rotating lever arm assembly and a coupling arm assembly,
• wherein said rotating lever arm assembly comprises a mounting bracket, a first arm, a second arm, and an attachment shaft,
• wherein said mounting bracket is adapted to secure said rotating lever arm assembly to a switch,
• wherein said attachment shaft is journalled in and through said mounting bracket,
• wherein first and second arms of said rotating lever arm assembly are attached to said attachment shaft and adapted such that the user may engage them to manually rotate said attachment shaft,
• wherein said coupling arm is coupled at a first end to said attachment shaft,
• wherein said coupling arm couples at a second end to the connecting arm such that displacement of said rotating lever arm assembly effects movement of said connecting arm through said attachment shaft and said coupling arm, thereby manually displacing an electric switch.
