Patent attributes
A circuit breaker includes a body having a neck member integrally connected thereto. A flange extends from an inner periphery of the neck member and a recess is defined in an inner periphery of the flange. Two terminals are connected to the body and a bi-metallic plate has an end fixed to one of the terminals and there other end of the bi-metallic plate is a free end on which a contact point is connected so as to be in contact with another contact point on one of the terminals. A button has a stop plate extending radially therefrom which is sized to move through the first recess of the flange, and the button is then rotated an angle to shift the stop plate away from the first recess. A resilient member is biased between the stop plate and an inside of the body. By the off alignment of the stop member and the flange, the button is not disengaged from the body.
