  • Patent number: 9401256
    Abstract: An electromagnetic relay has an iron core having legs at both ends and a coil wound therearound to form an electromagnet, a movable iron piece that pivotally supports a pivoting shaft along one leg of the iron core and causes a tip of a pivoting arm extended from a side edge of the pivoting shaft toward the other leg of the iron core to face the other leg of the iron core in a contactable and separable manner, and a card whose side facing the movable iron piece is in contact with the pivoting arm of the movable iron piece. The movable iron piece that pivots based on the excitation and degaussing of the electromagnet presses the card to drive a contact mechanism.

  • Patent number: 8922307
    Abstract: An electromagnetic relay includes an electromagnetic part, a movable iron piece, a contact driving part, a contact which is opened and closed by driving the contact driving part with a card disposed between the movable iron piece and the contact driving part. Particularly, the card is disposed between the insulating wall and the contact driving part, a driving projection projected onto an inward surface side opposed to the insulating wall of the card is inserted in and projected from a manipulation hole made in the insulating wall, and the driving projection of the card is pressed by the movable iron piece that is operated based on excitation and demagnetization of the electromagnetic part.

  • Patent number: 8212636
    Abstract: An electromagnetic relay having a high positioning accuracy of a movable iron piece and little variation in operating characteristics. A pair of upper and lower rotating shaft convex portions are provided at one end of a movable iron piece along the same shaft center. The pair of upper and lower rotating shaft convex portions are rotatably supported by a base and a spool of an electromagnetic block mounted on the base respectively. A movable contact piece is driven by the movable iron piece rotated by magnetization or demagnetization of the electromagnetic block to open or close a contact. One end of the spool has a shaft hole in which the upper rotating shaft convex portion of the movable iron piece is inserted.

  • Patent number: 8183963
    Abstract: A electromagnetic relay in which bad electrical contact and failure of operation are prevented even when shavings are produced while an iron core is press-fitted into and mounted on a base. The electromagnetic relay includes an electromagnetic block supported by press-fitting both ends of an iron core of the electromagnetic block into an upper surface of a base and open or close a contact by a movable iron piece rotated by magnetization or demagnetization of the iron core with a coil, where shaving receptacles are made by forming separating ribs adjacent to at least one side of press-fit projections that are formed in press-fit concave portions provided on the upper surface of the base.
