Movable contact holder

A contact device comprising:

• a movable contact including a plate-like contact base and a pair of contact bodies upstanding from a proximal end of the contact base;
• and
• a holder constructed to hold the contact base of the movable contact, wherein a protruding section is provided at the proximal end of the contact base with reference to the contact bodies such that the protruding section and the contact base are formed on a same plane,
• the holder including
• a first holding portion constructed to hold the contact base, the first holding portion being in contact with one surface of the contact base, the surface being opposite an other surface of the contact base from which the contact bodies project upward,
• a second holding portion constructed to hold the contact base, the second holding portion being in contact with the other surface of the contact base at a distal end of the contact base, the distal end being distal with reference to the contact bodies, and
• a disengagement-prevention portion residing above a proximal end of the one surface of the contact base, the proximal end being proximal with reference to the contact bodies, and the disengagement-prevention portion being configured to prevent the movable contact from being detached from the holder,
• wherein the disengagement-prevention portion and the protruding section are spaced from and oppose to each other in the upstanding direction, and abutment of the protruding section against the disengagement-prevention portion ensures prevention of the disengagement of the movable contact taken out from the holder, when the contact base is inclined, and
• the pair of the contact bodies is juxtaposed to each other with the protruding section disposed therebetween.
