First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A contact assembly for an electric power switch comprising a jaw contact type including a jaw contact button disposed to float within an aperture formed in a corresponding jaw contact finger associated with a guide finger. 2. A contact assembly comprising a first guide finger and a second guide finger spaced from the first guide finger, a first jaw contact finger and a second jaw contact figure associated respectively with the first guide finger and the second guide finger, each of the first jaw contact and the second jaw contact formed with a jaw contact button each jaw contact button being disposed to float within an aperture formed in the respective first jaw contact and second jaw contact. 3. The contact assembly of claim 2 , the first and second guide fingers being spaced apart having leading tips for guiding a blade therebetween. 4. The contact assembly of claim 3 , the leading tips comprising arc sacrificial material. 5. The contact assembly of claim 2 , the first and second jaw contact fingers being resilient, the first and second jaw contact fingers resiliently deflecting to accept a blade therebetween. 6. The contact assembly of claim 2 , the first and second guide fingers supporting the respective first and second jaw contact fingers from collapsing. 7. The contact assembly of claim 2 , the first or second guide finger comprising a bumper and a guide block that are adjustable to align and center the first and second guide fingers.
