Abstract
A circuit overload protective device includes a body having a button pivotally disposed thereto and a bimetallic strip disposed thereto which has a first contact point disengagably contacting a second contact point on the body. A first member and a second member are respectively connected to an underside of the button, wherein the first member has a leg extending therefrom so as to be shifted into a curved recess defined in a first inner side of the body when the bimetallic strip is deformed, and the second member has a distal end thereof connected to the first contact point. A third member is disposed to a second inner side of the body and a spring is biasedly connected between the first member and the third member.
Claims7
A circuit overload protective device comprising:
- a body having a bottom with a first wall and a second wall respectively extending from two ends of said bottom, said first wall having a curved recess defined in an inner side thereof and said second wall having a support member extending laterally from an inner side thereof, at least two terminals extending downwardly from an underside of said bottom, a first contact point disposed to one of said terminals;
- a bimetallic strip having a first end thereof fixedly connected to said second wall and a second end thereof with a second contact point disposed thereto, said second contact point disengagably contacting said first contact point;
- a button pivotally disposed to a top of said body;
- a first member and a second member respectively connected to one of two ends of said button, said first member having a leg extending inclinedly and downwardly therefrom and said second member having a distal end thereof connected to said second contact point, and
- a third member connected to said support member and a spring biasedly connected between said first and said third member.
