DEFINITION

Classification: 337/155

(under subclass 143) Subject matter including in addition to the fuse structure significant means whereby; after the movable contact, or contacts, of the device has been actuated from one original condition to another operated condition as a result of an abnormal thermal current condition (or manual manipulation) the contacts may be returned to the original condition either automatically or manually, or means whereby a latching or holding mechanism is returned to an operative condition wherein the contact control means will be rigidly held in the original condition upon the actuation of the contacts to the original condition.
