Abstract
In an electrical relay in which the moving contacts of a switch are actuated by the pivoting movement of an armature, the moving contacts are carried by a blade which is supported on the armature by a contact carrier in the form of an insulating block. The carrier is anchored to the armature by a pair of clamping members having cantilevered spring fingers that engage recesses in the margins of the carrier to clamp the carrier against the armature and secure the carrier against lateral movement.
