| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 5708553 | Automatic switching-off structure for protecting electronic device from burning An electronic device integrally formed with an automatic switching-off structure for protecting the device from overheating. At least one conducting lead of the electronic device is mechanically and electrically connected to its corresponding electrode by... | 01/13/1998 |
| 4622533 | Self-recovery type current limiting element A self-recovery type current limiting element for suppressing overcurrent conditions and capable of recovering so as to be operated under normal current conditions including two identical element cylinders coupled therebetween by a coupler. A series of an... | 11/11/1986 |
| 4281307 | Thermal cut-off fuse A thermal cut-off fuse of a self-restoring type, which breaks the electric continuity between a pair of lead wires in response to melting and voluminal expansion of a temperature-sensitive member upon rise of the ambient temperature to a prescribed temper... | 07/28/1981 |
| 4227170 | Current-reducing device A current-reducing device (fuse or switch) is described comprising a foil mber of Al or Mg which is immersed in a fluid with which it will chemically react (such as H2 O or H2 O2) above a certain temperature. The foil memb... | 10/07/1980 |
| 4216456 | Current limiting apparatus A current limiting apparatus comprises a current limiter and cooling fins formed on each current terminal of the current limiter, and additional cooling fins fitted on a cylindrical tube of the current limiter near a heat generating source.... | 08/05/1980 |
| 4024488 | Self-restoring type current limiting device One electrode is rigidly fitted into a hollow metallic cylinder and the other electrode is coaxially fixed within the cylinder through a cylindrical insulation. An insulating disc is opposite to the cylindrical insulation to form them an annular arrow gap... | 05/17/1977 |
| 3991396 | Electric circuit protector comprising parallel-connected liquid-metal current-limiting devices A liquid-metal circuit protector comprises two liquid-metal current limiting devices electrically connected in parallel with each other.
