Abstract
The invention relates to an electromagnetic contact switch relay assembly of the type having a magnetic coil. A yoke is attached to the coil. The yoke includes a flat plate portion with a knife edge at one end thereof. An insulated contact carrier is attached to the plate portion. An L-shaped armature has first and second legs with the corner therebetween having the inside thereof engaging the knife edge. The first armature leg has an inoperative position on the plate while at rest and an operative position while forming an acute angle with respect to the plate. The carrier has an end wall with resilient bifurcated portions engaging the outside of the armature corner and a rigid stop member therebetween for limiting the movement of the armature. A slide member for actuating contact switches is slidably mounted in the carrier in juxtaposition to the first armature leg for actuation in response to movement by the first armature leg. The carrier has a central wall with a central recess formed therein immediately above the corner of the armature. The second leg of the armature has a leg extending beyond the corner of the armature and into the recess for retaining the armature in its installed position.
