Abstract

A thermostatic circuit breaker includes a movable contact which is movable in response to thermal transformation of a thermostatic disk. In order to easily support the movable contact, the movable contact is secured to an offset spring of electrically-conducting and elastic material and is located at a predetermined position with respect to the thermostatic disk and a stationary contact.
