ABSTRACT:
A overload relay includes a base (22) with electrical contacts (162, 164) thereon. A lever (116) including a contact actuator (140) is in proximity to the contacts (162, 164) and a pivot (122) mounts the lever (116) on the base (22) for pivotal movement between first and second positions. A releasable latch (106) normally holds the lever (116) in a particular one of the positions and a spring (144) is interposed between the base (22) and the lever (116) at a location spaced from the pivot (122) to bias the lever (116) toward the other of the positions by applying a bias thereto in a generally predetermined direction. The direction and location are such that when the lever (116) is in a latched position, the bias will provide a relatively small force tending to move the lever (116) toward the unlatched position and further is such that as the lever (116) moves towards the first position, the bias produces an increasing force tending to move the lever (116) towards the unlatched position.
