Abstract
In a current interrupter for a battery lead for motor vehicles, with a contact element between the two connecting parts for their electrical connection and with an auxiliary drive for separating the two connecting parts, contact element applies only a transverse force that is directed essentially perpendicularly to the connecting parts. A retaining force which is directed opposite to the action of the auxiliary drive is mainly applied at one point and is spatially separated from the contact element.
Claims12
A current interrupter for a battery lead in vehicles, comprising:
- a first connecting part;
- a second connecting part;
- a contact element arranged between the first connecting part and the second connecting part;
- and
- an auxiliary drive disposed in the first connecting part for separating the first connecting part from the second connecting part;
- wherein the contact element applies a transverse force directed perpendicularly to the first and second connecting parts, and a retaining device, for applying a retaining force directed between the first and second connecting parts opposite to an action of the auxiliary drive, is positioned so as to apply the retaining force at a location spatially separate from the contact element.
