DEFINITION

Classification: 335/33

(under subclass 32) Subject matter wherein the timing or delay means includes significant structure whereby at least two of the cycles between the initial opening of the main contacts and the final opening or, lockout thereof, are of different duration. For example, the initial opening may be instantaneous while the succeeding cycles may be of longer duration or the initial opening may be delayed while the succeeding cycles may be of short duration.
