Abstract
An electromagnetic relay including an electromagnet, an armature driven by the electromagnet, a movable spring member carrying a movable contact, a fixed member carrying a fixed contact, an actuator arranged between the armature and the movable spring member. The actuator pivots about a pivot axis by an operation of the electromagnet to make the movable contact brought into contact with or separated from the fixed contact. The actuator includes a generally L-shaped body, the pivot axis being defined at a first end of a first arm of the L-shaped body. The armature is attached to the actuator at a second end of a second arm of the L-shaped body opposite to the first end. The movable spring member is engaged with the actuator at a point defined in the second arm of the L-shaped body.
Claims11
An electromagnetic relay comprising:
- an electromagnet;
- an armature driven by said electromagnet;
- a movable spring member movably arranged relative to said electromagnet and carrying a movable contact;
- a fixed member fixedly arranged relative to said electromagnet and carrying a fixed contact to be opposed to said movable contact;
- an actuator pivotally arranged relative to said electromagnet and having a pivot axis, said actuator arranged between said armature and said movable spring member and pivoting under an operation of said electromagnet to make said movable contact brought into contact with or separated from said fixed contact;
- wherein said actuator includes a generally L-shaped body as a cross-sectional shape perpendicular to said pivot axis, said pivot axis being defined at a first end of a first arm of said L-shaped body;
- wherein said armature is attached to said actuator at a second end of a second arm of said L-shaped body opposite to said first end;
- and
- wherein said movable spring member is engaged with said actuator at a point defined in said second arm of said L-shaped body.
