Abstract
A relay includes a base member that supports a magnetic system and has an armature pivoted on a bearing edge on the base member. The armature has a free end moveable in an actuation direction on the bearing edge relative to a pole face between a release position and an attracted position upon energizing and deenergizing of the coil, whereby the bearing edge extends in the plane of a second pole face. Received by a support area of the armature is a retention spring for holding the armature in contact with the bearing edge, with the retention spring being formed as a carrier bilaterally clamped at attack points which are substantially in alignment at least in one plane with the support area for the retainer spring.
Claims13
A relay, comprising:
- a magnetic system forming a support surface and including an armature defining a longitudinal axis and exhibiting an extreme edge pivotally supporting the armature on the support surface for rotation of the armature about the extreme edge relative to a first pole face in an actuation direction between a release position and an attracted position upon energizing and deenergizing of a coil of the magnetic system, with the support surface extending in the plane of a second pole face;
- and
- a retention spring received by a support area of the armature for holding the armature in contact with the support surface and acting on the armature in direction of the longitudinal axis to load the armature to seek the release position, with the support area defining the position of the armature in direction of longitudinal extension of the support surface, said retention spring being configured in form of a carrier bilaterally clamped at pertaining attack points which extend substantially in alignment at least in one plane with the support area for the retention spring.
