Electrical overload protection device and method of use

A method of protecting an electronic device from damage due to an electrical overload, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing an electrical overload protection device comprising:
• a housing defining an interior space,
• a button attached to an upper facet of the using;
• the button being selectively depressible,
• a biaser attached to the housing and operationally engaged to the button, such that the biaser selectively retains the button in a depressed configuration and an extended configuration,
• a shaft slidably attached to the housing and selectively extendible from the upper facet of the housing, such that the shaft is selectively positionable in a depressed position and an extended position,
• a plate spring having a first end attached to the housing and a second end attached to the biaser, and
• a bimetal strip attached to the housing and positioned in the interior space, the bimetal strip is reversibly deformable and configured for bending upon exposure to a specified current, wherein the button is configured for depressing for inducing electrical contact of the biaser with the bimetal strip for completing an electrical circuit, such that, upon exposure to the specified current, the bimetal strip bends and actuates the plate spring for extending the shaft from the upper facet and for disengaging the biaser from the bimetal strip for breaking the electrical circuit, positioning a user for depressing the shaft for reversing deformation of the bimetal strip and far actuating the biaser for extending the button to the extended configuration, such that the button is again depressible for completing the electrical circuit;
• operationally inserting the electrical overload protection device into an electrical circuit comprising an electrical device;
• depressing the button to complete the electrical circuit to power the electronic device;
• monitoring the electrical overload protection device for rising of the shaft from the pipe;
• depressing the shaft;
• and
• depressing the button to reestablish the electrical circuit and to resupply power to the electronic device.
