Abstract: In a circuit protector or the like a handle and a case from which said handle extends. Within the handle is an electrical lamp. A first pair of terminals is secured to the handle and to the lamp and a second pair of terminals is carried by the case. Electrical leads extend from the second pair of terminals to a pair of springs and the springs have end portions engageable with the first pair of terminals. The springs carried by a projection of the case and the end portions rest upon a boss formed on the case. The first pair of terminals press upon the end portions to close the circuit to the lamp.

Abstract: A circuit protector comprising a case and a rocker or handle movable between "on" and "off" positions. A spring has one leg biased against the case and the other leg biased against the rocker for biasing the rocker to the "off" position. Within the case is a stationary contact and a movable contact carried by a movable contact blade. The rocker includes an extension which carries a pivotal latch lever and a slidable latch. The latch lever has a detent for restraining movement of the slidable latch. Further, the slidable latch includes a cam stop engaging a raised portion of the movable contact blade to keep the contacts engaged. A bimetal, on predetermined overload heating, engages the latch lever and pivots it away from the slidable latch, whereupon the detent is moved out of engagement with the slidable latch permitting the slidable latch to move upwardly under pressure of the movable contact blade and also permitting the rocker to be pivoted by the spring to the contacts "off" position.
