Abstract
Abstract An electromagnetic relay in which a movable block is mounted on an upper surface of an electromagnetic block disposed on a base for a swing movement and contacts are switched by the movable block driven by the movable block being energized and deenergized, a pair of supports projecting on an upper surface of the base which are opposed with respect to the electromagnetic block, a pair of shafts coaxially projecting from both opposite side walls of the movable block are engaged from the upward with concave portions formed on upper surfaces of the supports to be supported thereby, and a load spring at one end is fixed to the movable block but at other end is contactable with a stationary portion.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
89 words
An electromagnetic relay in which a movable block is mounted on an upper surface of an electromagnetic block disposed on a base for a swing movement and contacts are switched by the movable block being energized and deenergized, comprising a pair of supports projecting on an upper surface of the base which are opposed with respect to the electromagnetic block, a pair of shafts projecting from both opposite side walls of said movable block to be engaged with said supports, and a load spring fixed to said movable block.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
89 words
An electromagnetic relay in which a movable block is mounted on an upper surface of an electromagnetic block disposed on a base for a swing movement and contacts are switched by the movable block being energized and deenergized, comprising a pair of supports projecting on an upper surface of the base which are opposed with respect to the electromagnetic block, a pair of shafts projecting from both opposite side walls of said movable block to be engaged with said supports, and a load spring fixed to said movable block.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
An electromagnetic relay according to claim 1 in which one end of said load spring is fixed to said movable block and other end of said load spring includes a pair of elastic arms extending in opposite directions.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
38 words
An electromagnetic relay according to claim 1 in which one end of said load spring is fixed to said movable block and other end of said load spring includes a pair of elastic arms extending in confronting directions.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
An electromagnetic relay according to one of claims 1 to 3 in which said load spring is adapted to subsequently contact a plurality of projections different in height which project from said stationary portion.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
37 words
An electromagnetic relay according to one of claims 1 to 3 in which said load spring is adapted to subsequently contact a curved surface formed on a top end of a projection projecting form said stationary portion.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
52 words
An electromagnetic relay according to one of claims 1 to 3 in which other end of said load spring consists of divisional leads divided in a width direction which subsequently come into contact with the respective heads of a projection having steps which stands on the upper surface of said stationary portion.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
34 words
An electromagnetic relay according to one of claims 1 to 6 in which at least base portion of elastic arms of said load spring which are elastically deformed has a piled construction in double.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
21 words
An electromagnetic relay according to claim 1, further comprising a pair of spring receiving projections disposed between said pair of supports.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
23 words
An electromagnetic relay according to claim 1, wherein said load spring is structured and arranged to contact said pair of spring receiving projections.
