  • Patent number: 7755465
    Abstract: A temperature control switch comprises a switch casing, which contains a springy slice, where the springy slice is provided with a thermostatic bimetal strip on its bouncing end. The thermostatic bimetal strip is provided with an electric heating device, where the first end and second end of the device are respectively connected in series between a first control terminal and the thermostatic bimetal strip. The elevated end of the thermostatic bimetal strip links one end of an uplifted metal slice to form an incompletely fixed link point, while the other end of the uplifted metal slice features a swaying contact, which corresponds to the contact point that a second control terminal joins. When subjected to heat, the one end of the thermostatic bimetal strip deforms, enabling the swaying contact to separate from the contact point, thus preventing the contact point from being damaged by the heat.

  • Patent number: 7530833
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide an energy saving lamp holder, structurally comprising a body, a set of conducting spring leaves, a set of elastic articles, an anti-backspin guide plate and a positioning plate. When installing an energy saving bulb by inserting the conducting terminals of the bulb in the positioning grooves of the positioning plate for a twist, the anti-backspin guide plate is pressed to move inward and back soon. The anti-backspin guide plate and the contact plate of the conducting spring leaf jointly seize the conducting terminals and refrains the bulb from being back spinning. The energy saving lamp holder disables electric conduction before the completion of the installation of a bulb, which further ensures no possibility of careless electric shock.

  • Publication number: 20080284556
    Abstract: A current breaker includes a shell, a switching member, a movable conductor, a first conductive strip, a second conductive strip, a third conductive strip, a snap strip, a disengaging member and a locking member. In case of excessive current, the snap strip disfigures to move the disengaging member for releasing the locking member from the movable conductor, and then separates the movable conductor from the first conductive strip so as to cut off current. Moreover, even if the switching member should accidentally be compressed immovable in the ON condition, this current breaker still could work to cut off current automatically.
