Provided is a breaker capable of further downsizing without impairing rigidity and strength of a case. The breaker comprises a fixed contact, a movable piece 4 having and pressing a movable contact to the fixed contact, a thermally responsive element for moving the movable piece to separate the movable contact from the fixed contact by deformation thereof responding to temperature change, a case for containing the fixed piece, the movable piece and the thermally responsive element, and a cover piece attached on the case. The case has an end face on which the cover piece is disposed, a containing recess caved from the end face and forming a space to which the movable piece and the thermally responsive element are contained, and a first protrusion protruding from the end face and to which the cover piece is fitted.

A temperature-controlled device for switching off a heating device at a limit temperature has a thermo-mechanical temperature sensor device, a switch-off device, and manual reactivation means. The switch-off device has switching means which are activated by a trigger for switching off the heating device. The manual reactivation means have a movable handle and transmission means for transmitting a force of an operator for reactivating the switching means after switching off the heating device by the trigger. The transmission means have a click spring which at the beginning is in a basic position and, when an operating force acting on said click spring exceeds a certain limit force, clicks to a deflected position. Said click spring in the basic position enables reactivating or re-switching on, respectively, of the switching means. Said click spring in the deflected position releases so much movement path on the transmission means for the switching means that said switching means by the temperature sensor device and by the switch-off device above the limit temperature are activatable and switchable by the trigger.

An apparatus includes an electrical switch that includes (i) multiple first electrical contacts and (ii) a second electrical contact configured to bridge the first electrical contacts in order to form at least one electrical connection. The apparatus also includes a shape-memory actuator configured to move the second electrical contact in order to selectively open the electrical switch and break the at least one electrical connection. The shape-memory actuator may be configured to be returned to an original shape and the second electrical contact may be configured to be returned to a bridging position in order to reset the apparatus. The apparatus may further include a shutter member configured to be moved between the first electrical contacts in order to prevent re-bridging of the first electrical contacts and to extend an arc-gap between the first electrical contacts.

The present invention relates to the technical field of temperature controllers, and more particularly, to a backpack power-off reset temperature limiter, which comprises an insulating base, a first terminal, a second terminal, a power-receiving elastic piece and an arch-shaped temperature sensing sheet. The power-receiving elastic piece is arranged on the upper end surface of the insulating base. One end of the power-receiving elastic piece is fixedly connected with the first terminal, and the other free end of the power-receiving elastic piece is electrically connected with the second terminal. The two ends of the power-receiving elastic piece are respectively provided with a fixing clamping position that is clamped with an end part of the temperature sensing sheet, and the two sides of the power-receiving elastic piece are respectively provided with an assembly clamping position that is matched with the temperature sensing sheet.
