Abstract
A mounting assembly for a circuit breaker mechanism includes a base and a mid-cover disposed adjacent the base. Also included is a first pair of mounting posts comprising a first mounting post and a second mounting post extending from the base, the first pair of mounting posts each protruding through the mid-cover. Further included is a first mount hole defined by the first mounting post and a second mount hole defined by the second mounting post. Yet further included is a first pin extending through the first mount hole, the second mount hole and a circuit breaker mechanism frame to retain the circuit breaker mechanism to the base.

A mounting assembly for a circuit breaker mechanism frame coupled to a circuit breaker mechanism, the assembly comprising:
- a base;
- a mid-cover;
- a first pair of mounting posts comprising a first mounting post and a second mounting post, a first end of each of the pair of mounting posts coupled to the base and extending therefrom, a second end of each of the pair of mounting posts protruding through the mid-cover, and disposed at a distal location from the base;
- a first mount hole defined by the second end of the first mounting post and a second mount hole defined by the second end of the second mounting post, and
- a first pin extending through the first mount hole, the second mount hole, and the circuit breaker mechanism frame to retain the circuit breaker mechanism to the base.
A circuit breaker comprising:
- a base;
- a mid-cover disposed adjacent the base;
- at least one mounting post extending from the base and protruding through the mid-cover, the at least one mounting post having an end located at a distal location from the base;
- at least one mount hole defined by the at least one mounting post proximate the end of the at least one mounting post;
- a circuit breaker mechanism frame operatively coupled to a circuit breaker mechanism, the circuit breaker frame defining at least one aperture aligned with the at least one mount hole;
- and
- at least one pin extending through the at least one mount hole and the at least one aperture to retain the circuit breaker mechanism to the base.
