Patent

CA 2101146

To minimize the tripping force required to trip a GFCI receptacle, a cantilever spring, formed as an integral feature of the molded plastic receptacle case, is charged in the process of resetting a trip/reset mechanism from a tripped condition and thus is empowered to provide a spring force for setting a latch releaseably holding the mechanism in a reset condition and for returning a trip solenoid plunger from its trip-initiating extended position to a return position. While the mechanism is reset, the cantilever spring is clear of the tripping motions of the latch and plunger.
