  • Patent number: 11462378
    Abstract: An electromagnetic double-armature relay with an excitation coil comprises a first yoke and a second yoke, which are arranged on the excitation coil. The first leg of the first yoke serves as a support for a first armature and the first leg of the second yoke serves as a support for a second armature. The double-armature relay has a first comb which cooperates with the first armature, and a second comb cooperates with the second armature. In addition, the double-armature relay has at least two contact bridges, each of which is detachably arranged with a first end in the first comb and the second end in the second comb and comprises two contact rivets oriented in opposite directions, and fixed contacts which are arranged opposite the contact rivets of the contact bridge. The arrangement of the two yokes and armatures are such that the two combs perform opposing translational movements.

  • Patent number: 10600598
    Abstract: The invention relates to a relay, having an electromagnetic drive with a field coil arranged around an iron core which defines a plane, and a yoke. The electromagnetic drive works together with a movable armature which can switch a movable electrical contact via an actuating arrangement. The relay is accommodated in a housing, wherein an intermediate base and/or partition is included between the electromagnetic drive and the contact. The electromagnetic drive is arranged on one side of the partition, and the movable electrical contact is arranged on the other side of the partition. The partition has an opening through which the mechanical actuation of the contact is carried out. Because the armature is pivotable about an axis of rotation perpendicular to the plane of the iron core, the relay can have a lower constructed height than a conventional relay.

  • Patent number: 8796571
    Abstract: A switch is provided for a belt lock of a safety belt system, for example, in a motor vehicle. The switch includes a switch housing which has a contact space in which two contact sheets interact, and a channel which borders the contact space and in which a slide can be moved. A section of the contact sheet made as a contact spring projects into the channel, as a free end section which projects beyond one contact region of the contact sheets. A connecting opening is located in a position of use of the switch above the contact region of the two contact sheets.
