DEFINITION

Classification: 337/115

(under subclass 114) Subject matter including at least one electrothermally responsive device combined with further manual or other mechanical contact actuating means, both said device and means controlling the same contacts. Usually the

contacts are directly controlled by the manual or mechanical means which is in turn under the control of the electrothermally responsive device. However, devices in which the contacts may be opened or closed by the separate means independently are also classified here.
