Abstract: An electromagnetic relay includes a yoke having both ends bent in first direction, a coil portion wound onto a central part between the ends of the yoke, a permanent magnet arranged between the ends of the yoke, an armature formed to have a greater length than that between the ends of the yoke and provided on the first side of the permanent magnet and a hinge spring capable of causing both end sides of the armature to be toggle with respect to the ends of the yoke, and the hinge spring integrally fixing the permanent magnet and the armature.

Abstract: An electromagnetic relay includes an electromagnet block and an armature block both mounted together on a relay base. The armature block is magnetically coupled to the electromagnet block such that it is magnetically driven thereby to move linearly between two operating positions for actuating the contact assembly into open and closed contact conditions. The armature block is supported on the base by means of a U-shaped balancing spring with a pair of parallel spring arms in the form of a spring leaf and a web integrally bridging the parallel spring arms at one end of each arm.

Abstract: An electromagnetic relay includes a base of electrically insulation for mounting an electromagnet, an armature and at least one contact assembly including a movable contact. Integrally molded with the base is an envelope having side walls and a top wall for receiving therein the electromagnet which envelope defines on the base outwardly thereof a space for mounting the contact assembly. The side wall of the envelope extends along the entire length of the electromagnet in order to completely separate the contact assembly located outwardly of the envelope from the electromagnet along the entire length thereof for increased insulation resistance therebetween. The armature is mounted on the top wall of the envelope to be movable within a horizontal plane on the top wall and is operatively connected to the movable contact of the contact assembly by a card extending over the side wall adjacent thereto.

Abstract: A balanced armature type relay includes a coil assembly 2 with a coil 20 and an ion core 21 extending through the coil 20, an armature assembly with a pair of frame-shaped upper and lower armatures 3, 4 disposed parallel to each other and so as to surround the coil 20, and a pair of contact units 6, 8 operated by the armature assembly. The coil 20 is covered with a molded portion 23 which has a pair of lateral studs 24 integrally formed with it, the studs 24 defining a horizontal axis about which the armature assembly is pivotal. High accuracy in the positional relation between the pole faces formed by extending ends of the iron core 21 and the respective ends of the armatures 3, 4 cooperating with the pole faces is achieved by the fact that both the pole faces provided on the iron core 21 and the studs 24 form part of the coil assembly which is formed as one common block.

Abstract: An electrical multilayer contact, specifically for relays, comprises the following layers disposed upon each other on a contact support member:a first layer of a copper-nickel alloy for mechanically and electrically connecting the further layers to the support member,a second layer consisting of silver or having a very high silver content for adhering the further layers to the first layer,a third layer of a silver-tin oxide composition,a fourth layer of silver or a silver alloy, anda fifth layer of gold or an alloy having a high gold content.This multilayer structure is preferably used for both, the fixed contact member and the movable contact member of a relay contact couple. In this case, the upper surface of the multilayer contact structure disposed on the fixed contact is plane, while that on the movable contact is curved in one direction to cooperate with the opposite plane surface in forming a line contact.
