Bridging contacts:

(under subclass 30) Subject matter including a set of contacts in which the moving contact touches two stationary

contacts substantially simultaneously during operation of the circuit breaker.

(1) Note. The simultaneous operation referred to above does not preclude the well known prior art equivalent structure in which a substantially simultaneously operation occurs, e.g., contact wiping.
