Abstract (en)

A relay includes an electromagnet and an armature (8 min ) for causing a displacement of a pair of spring arms (20 min ) in a respective sense in dependence on energisation or de-energisation of the electromagnet Each spring arm is arranged to make an electrical connection between one member of a respective set of contact members and, in dependence on the sense of displacement, a selected one of two other members (14 min , 15 min ) in the same set. A trip plate (9 min ) mounted on the armature, acts on both spring arms and has a protrusion (32) which permits pivotal movement of the trip plate relative to the armature; the spring arms are subjected to substantially equal amounts of pressure as they are displaced. The protrusion may have a convex surface (32) or may comprise a pair of flat surface which meet at an apex to establish a pivot.
