Claims
- 1. Switching apparatus for selectively interrupting an electrical connection between input and output conductors, or the like, comprising, in combination: a housing; magnetizable plunger means disposed within a portion of said housing for movement between first and said housing for moving said plunger means when energized from the first position to the second position; an input contact electrically connected to said input conductor; an output contact electrically connected to said output conductor; strap means for mounting the switching apparatus upon a selected surface, said strap means including portions thereof which define a path of the magnetic field generated by said coil means to influence the position of said plunger means, and movable means responsive to movement of said plunger means for influencing a separation of said input and output contacts, thereby interrupting electrical connection between them, said movable means including first and second movable members, movement of said second member being caused by movement of said first member.
- 2. Switching apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said first member is movable with and opperatively connected to said plunger means.
- 3. Switching apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said plunger means comprises a plunger member formed with a relatively elongated portion which extends into portions of said electromagnetic coil means.
- 4. Switching apparatus according to claim 1, further including spring means for returning said plunger means to said first position after energization of said coil means.
