DEFINITION

Classification: 337/399

(under subclass 382) Subject matter including significant details of the mechanical structure of composition of matter of the contact assembly, or its means of attachment either to the thermally responsive element or other supporting means.

(1) Note. For other contact structures or compositions used in the devices of this class, see the subclasses listed under SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS in subclass 26.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

109, for similar subject matter in electrothermally actuated switches with bimetallic elements.

122, for details of contact structure in expansible fluid actuated electrothermally responsive switches.

137, for details of contact structure in electrothermally actuated switches utilizing longitudinally expansible elements. See (1) Note above.
