Patent attributes
An electromagnetic relay including an electromagnet, an armature driven by the electromagnet, a movable spring member carrying a movable contact, a fixed member carrying a fixed contact, an actuator arranged between the armature and the movable spring member. The actuator pivots about a pivot axis by an operation of the electromagnet to make the movable contact brought into contact with or separated from the fixed contact. The actuator includes a generally L-shaped body, the pivot axis being defined at a first end of a first arm of the L-shaped body. The armature is attached to the actuator at a second end of a second arm of the L-shaped body opposite to the first end. The movable spring member is engaged with the actuator at a point defined in the second arm of the L-shaped body.
