(CL 20G-1) My invention relates to electromagnetic relays In accordance with the invention, each armaof the type in which spring contact members are ture'spring i is directly connected to amature 2 insulatingly arranged in a stack, and are moved and is moved from its rest position upon enerfrom their position of rest upon response of the gization of coil i. For this purpose `a member 3 5 relay. extends on the outside of the stack and is provided, 5
