Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electromagnetic relay includes a fixed spring, a fixed contact configured to be swaged so as to be attached to the fixed spring, a movable spring, and a movable contact provided on the movable spring so as to be capable of making contact with the fixed contact, wherein a swaged portion of the fixed contact is formed so as not to protrude from a surface of the fixed spring.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An electromagnetic relay comprising: a fixed spring having a hole penetrating therethrough; a fixed contact inserted into the hole; a movable spring; and a movable contact provided on the movable spring to make contact with the fixed contact, wherein a first surface of the fixed spring opposite a second surface thereof facing the movable contact has a recess, the recess being formed in a stepped shape around an entire outer edge of the hole penetrating through the fixed spring, and a portion of the fixed contact is swaged to extend in the recess, so that the first surface of the fixed spring with the fixed contact is flat without a protrusion. 2. The electromagnetic relay according to claim 1 , wherein a contact of the electromagnetic relay is a transfer contact, the fixed spring includes a make spring and a break spring, the fixed contact includes a make contact provided on the make spring and a break contact provided on the break spring.
