Note(s) Bases, casings, or covers accommodating two or more switching devices, or a switching device as well as another electric component, e.g. bus-bar, line connector, are classified in Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...H02B 1/08. For the purpose of this sub-class, the term "relay" is used to denote a switching device having contacts which are operated from electric inputs which supply, directly or indirectly, all the mechanical energy necessary to cause both the closure and the opening of the contacts. Under the heading "emergency protective devices", this sub-class deals with devices for the protection of electric lines or electric machines or apparatus in the event of undesired change from normal electric working conditions, the electrical condition serving directly as the input to the device. In this sub-class: The expression "driving mechanism" refers to the means by which an operating force applied to the switch is transmitted to the moving contact or contacts. The word "operating" is used in a broader sense than "actuating" which is reserved for those parts not touched by hand to effect switching. The words "acting" and "action" denote a self-induced movement of parts at one stage of the switching. These connotations apply to all parts of the verbs "to operate", "to actuate", and "to act", and to words derived therefrom, e.g. to "actuation".
