Finally, the operating arm Ilib` of the armature I4 carries a nut and screw arrangement 43 which cooperartes with the eld element I2 in order to facilitate adjustment of the stroke of the armature I4.
In the operation of the relay, when the winding II is energized, the armature I4 is rotated in a counterclockwise direction about the pivot pin I5, as viewed in F'ig. 2, in an obvious manner, thereby to cause the actuating bar 36 to be moved longitudinally upon the leaf springs 31 and 38 away from the eld element I2 toward the end member 22 against the bias of the two rows of switch springs 25 and 26. Conversely, when the winding I I is deenergized, the actuating bar 36 ismoved longitudinally upon the leaf springs 31 and 38 away from the end member 22 toward the iield element I2 due to the bias of the two rows of switch springs 25 and 26, thereby to cause the armature I4 to be rotated in a clockwise direction about the pivot pin I5. as viewed in Fig. 2. When the actuating bar 36 is thus actuated the free ends of the individual switch springs in the two rows of switch springs 25 and 26 are moved in switching relation wtih respect to the heads of the individual contact springs in the adjacent rows of contact springs 28 and 29, respectively. More particularly, in the embodiment of the relay illustrated the rows of switch springs 25 and 26 are moved into closed circuit relation with respect to the rows of contact springs 23 and 29, respectively, when the actuating bar 35 is moved longitudinally away from the field element l2 toward the end member 22, this particular switching relation of the rows of switch springs 25 and 26 with respect to the rows of contact springs 28 and 29 being determined by the normal relation therebetween, in an obvious manner. When the individual switch springs in the rows of switch springs 25 and 25 are respectively moved into closed circuit relation with respect to the individual contact springs in the two rows of contact springs 28 and 29, a wiping action is produced therebetween, thereby to insure clean electrical contacts therebetween.
Also, when the actuating bar 36 is moved longitudinally upon the leaf springs 31 and 38 away from the field element I2 toward the end member 22, the outer end thereof abutting the intermediate switch springs in the two sets oi switch springs U and 5I exes these switch springs, whereby the intermediate switch spring in each of the two sets of switch springs 50 and 5I is moved out of engagement with the associated inner switch spring and into engagement with the associated outer switch spring. Conversely, when the actuating bar 36 is moved longitudinally upon the leaf springs 31 and 3S away from the end member 22 toward the eld element I2, the intermediate switch spring in each of the two sets of switch springs 50 and 5l is moved, due to its own resiliency, out of engagement with the associated outer switch spring and into engagement with the associated inner switch spring.
