CURRENT METER
First Claim
1. A current meter (1) for the noncontact measuring of currents, comprising a magnetically conducting field receiver (2) having a first receiving element (3) and a second receiving element (4), the first receiving element (3) is movable in a displacement direction (5) relative to the second receiving element (4), and the field receiver (2) is movable from a closed measuring position to an open position in order to receive a cable by activating a handle (6), a movably mounted swivel element (7) having a first leg (8) and a second leg (9), wherein an angle (10) is subtended between the first leg (8) and the second leg (9), the first leg (8) is coupled to the handle (6) and the second leg (9) is coupled to the first receiving element (3), the handle and the first receiving element (3) are movable relative to each other, so that upon activating the handle (6) an activating force engaging with the first leg (8) is generated, and said activating force is converted by the swivel element (7) into a displacement force on the second leg (9), directed transversely to the activating force, so that the first receiving element (3) is moved by said displacement force.

Abstract
A current meter having a movably mounted swivel element, in which an angle is subtended between a first leg and a second leg of the swivel element. A free end of the first leg is coupled to the handle and a free end of the second leg is coupled to the first receiving element, these being movable relative to each other, so that upon activating the handle an activating force engaging with the first leg can be generated. The activating force can be converted by the swivel element into a displacement force on the second leg, directed transversely to the activating force, so that by this displacement force the first receiving element can be moved.
