  • Patent number: 8941453
    Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide a contact switching device that produces minimal hitting sound at the time of return. In the contact switching device, a movable iron core (42) provided at one end portion of a movable shaft (45) is attracted to a fixed iron core (38), based on excitation and degauss of an electromagnet portion (50), by which the movable shaft (45) reciprocates in a shaft center direction, and a movable contact (48a) of a movable contact piece (48) arranged at another end portion of the movable shaft (45) contacts and departs from a fixed contact (33a). Particularly, at the time of return, an annular flange portion (45a) provided at an intermediate portion of the movable shaft (45) abuts on an annular receiving portion (35c) of the magnet holder (35) to thereby restrict a position of the movable iron core (42).
