ELECTROMAGNETIC RELAY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18547511 titled 'ELECTROMAGNETIC RELAY

The abstract describes an electromagnetic relay comprising a case, a movable contact piece, a fixed terminal, a driving device, and an insulating wall. The movable contact piece includes a movable contact, while the fixed terminal consists of a fixed contact, a contact support portion, an extension portion, and a bent portion. The driving device moves the movable contact piece, and the insulating wall is positioned between the bent portion and the movable contact piece.

  • The relay includes a unique fixed terminal design with a bent portion that overlaps the movable contact piece.
  • The driving device efficiently moves the movable contact piece to establish or break electrical connections.
  • The insulating wall enhances safety by preventing contact between the bent portion and the movable contact piece.
  • The design of the fixed terminal allows for reliable and precise operation of the relay.
  • Overall, the relay offers improved performance and safety features compared to traditional designs.

Original Abstract Submitted

An electromagnetic relay includes a case, a movable contact piece, a fixed terminal, a driving device, and an insulating wall. The movable contact piece includes a movable contact. The fixed terminal includes a fixed contact, a contact support portion, an extension portion, and a bent portion. The contact support portion supports the fixed contact. The extension portion extends from the contact support portion in a longitudinal direction of the movable contact piece. The bent portion extends in a bent shape from the extension portion in a first direction from the fixed contact toward the movable contact, and overlaps the movable contact piece in the longitudinal direction of the movable contact piece. The driving device is configured to move the movable contact piece. The insulating wall is integral with the case and is disposed between the bent portion and the movable contact piece.
