Abstract
A motor has a shell formed to include an edge defining an opening that is either U-shaped or rectangular. A reversible apparatus has segments for mounting an overload protector having first and second body portions within the opening in the motor shell. The apparatus has a first profile for mounting the overload protector within a U-shaped opening in a motor shell so as to restrict movement of the mounting apparatus and overload protector assembly relative to the motor shell, and a second profile for mounting the overload protector within a rectangular opening in a motor shell so as to restrict movement of the mounting apparatus and overload protector assembly relative to the motor shell. The apparatus also includes a first part extending generally parallel to, and across a first surface of, the overload protector, a second part extending generally perpendicular to the first part and across a second surface of the overload protector, and a third part extending generally perpendicular to the second part and across a third surface of the overload protector so as to secure the protector to the mounting apparatus. In one embodiment, tenons formed on end portions of the mounting apparat…
