  • Patent number: 5886602
    Abstract: A contact-unit slide for contractors which includes an insulating body in which windows are drilled wherein in each of these windows a contact bridge and a compression spring associated with the contacts are housed, the slide being moved by the mobile parts of the contactor's electromagnet, the spring bearing on the opposite side of the support surface adjacent to the contact bridge. The body has slots extending between a window and a visible surface to allow it to be supported on the upper end of the associated spring.

  • Patent number: 5867079
    Abstract: An electromagnetic switching device including, in an envelope formed by a base (1) and an insulating casing (7), a contact holder (3) in which are housed contact bridges (4) featuring a moving lock (8) capable of immobilizing the contact holder (3), wherein the lock (8) and the insulating casing (7) have sliding assembly devices (74, 75) which move the lock (8) positively from the rest position towards the contact holder (3) in the locked position by moving the insulating casing (7) away from the base, and the sliding assembly devices (74, 74) move the lock (8) away from the contact holder positively from the locked position by moving the casing towards the base.

  • Patent number: 5600291
    Abstract: An electromagnetic contactor device including an enclosure formed by a base unit and a housing unit assembled together and accommodating the power poles and a solenoid having a coil the body of which has power supply terminals on one side, said enclosure providing between the base unit and the housing unit a housing adapted to receive the power supply terminals, characterised in that the enclosure has symmetrically disposed relative to the first housing a second housing also formed between the base unit and the housing unit and having substantially the same cross-section as the first housing so that it can receive the side of the coil provided with terminals after the coil is turned around, the housing opposite that receiving the terminals being closed off.
