Patent ID: 7859368

Claim:
A circuit interrupting device including a base, an inner support and an upper cover containing a line side connection to an input power source, a load side connection to an output end, and an output connection to a user accessible load end; the device comprising: a pair of power output conductors extended to electrically connect to said user accessible load end; a first pair of flexible metal pieces; wherein an end of each of said first pair of flexible metal pieces is obliquely connected to a printed circuit board and further electrically connected to a metal piece, which is electrically connected to said input power source; wherein another end of each of said first pair of flexible metal pieces is connectable/disconnectable to each of said pair of power output conductors; a second pair of flexible metal pieces; wherein an end of each of said second pair of flexible metal pieces is electrically connected to said output power end; wherein another end of each of said second pair of flexible metal pieces is connectable/disconnectable to each of said pair of power output conductors; wherein said circuit interrupting device further comprises a tripping mechanism located underneath a reset button comprising a reset support piece and a tripping device; and each of said first flexible metal pieces and said second flexible metal pieces having a first side and an opposite second side extending between and orthogonally to the upper cover and the printed circuit board; wherein each of the flexible metal pieces have a fixed end attached to the printed circuit board and a free end extending away from the printed circuit board and towards the upper cover; electrical contacts facing away from each other attached to the first sides and to the free ends of the flexible metal pieces; semicircular protruding pieces which allow each of said first flexible metal pieces and said second flexible metal pieces to sit securely on said reset support piece attached to the second sides of the flexible metal pieces between the contacts and the fixed ends facing the reset support piece and each other; whereby an electrical continuity is established or discontinued when said first pair of flexible metal pieces is connecting/disconnecting to said pair of power output conductors, and said second pair of flexible metal pieces is connecting/disconnecting to said pair of power output conductors.
