ABSTRACT:
A circuit breaker includes a bimetallic plate that has a first end fixed to one terminal and a second end which can be lowered to contact the other terminal by pushing the pushbutton on top of the case of the breaker. The second end of the bimetallic plate is movably supported in a slot of a support member that is connected to an end of the pushbutton and is movable along an inclined surface of a protrusion in the case. The slot has a shorter upper edge so that when the support plate is shifted to a side when the pushbutton is set to its close-circuit position, the second end of the bimetallic plate can be deformed upward without any barrier by the upper edge of the slot.
