ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an electric device comprising two electric terminals, a button mechanism having a push button that can depressed to toggle between "on" and "off" statuses, and a conductive reed that conducts electric current between the two electric terminals when connected and disables the passage of current when disconnected. When the button is set "on", a reserve space exists between the reed and the button for the reed to spring upward without pushing the button upward. When the current passing through the reed exceeds a predetermined current level, the reed will become heated and spring upward and rest in the reserve space so as to electrically disconnect the two electric terminals.
