Electrical overload protection device and method of use
11798767 · 2023-10-24 ·

An electrical overload protection device for readily identifying and resetting a tripped circuit breaker includes a button, which is retained in depressed and extended configurations by a biaser. A first end and a second end of a plate spring are attached to the housing and the biaser, respectively. A bimetal strip, which is attached to and positioned in the housing, is reversibly deformable and thus bendable upon exposure to a specified current. Depressing the button contacts the biaser with the bimetal strip to complete an electrical circuit, which, should it exceed the specified current, bends the bimetal strip to actuate the plate spring to extend a shaft from the housing. The bending also disengages the biaser from the bimetal strip and breaks the electrical circuit. Depressing the shaft reverses deformation of the bimetal strip and reextends the button so it is again depressible to complete the electrical circuit.

POWER SWITCH ENCLOSURE

A power switch including a line input configured to receive a line voltage, a load output configured to output the line voltage, and a contact configured to selectively electrically connect the line input to the load output. The contact has a closed position in which the line input is electrically connected to the load output, and an open position in which the line input is not electrically connected to the load output. The power switch further includes a switch configured to selectively control the contact between the open position and the closed position, a housing, and a mounting foot configured to secure the housing to a surface. The mounting foot includes a molding and an insert contained within the molding.
