Abstract
An automotive vehicle fuse box includes a receptacle having a bottom, a pair of fuses fitted into the bottom, a pair of output terminals coupled to first ends, respectively, of the fuses, and a pair of input terminals coupled to second ends, respectively, of the fuses. The pair of output terminals extends from the receptacle in a first direction, while the pair of input terminals extends from the receptacle in a second direction. The fuse box also includes at least one other pair of fuses fitted into the bottom and another pair of input terminals coupled to second ends, respectively, of the other pair of fuses. The other pair of input terminals extends substantially in parallel to the second direction. First ends of the other pair of fuses are coupled to the terminals of the pair of output terminals, respectively.
Claims13
A fuse box for an automotive vehicle, comprising:
- a receptacle having a bottom and an opening leading to said bottom;
- and
- a pair of fuses fitted into said bottom and intended to protect an electrical device, each of the fuses of said pair having a first end and a second end;
- a pair of output terminals coupled to the first ends, respectively, of said fuses and a pair of input terminals coupled to the second ends, respectively, of said fuses, said pair of output terminals extending from said receptacle in a first direction, while said pair of input terminals extends from said receptacle in a second direction;
- at least one other pair of fuses fitted into said bottom and intended to protect another electrical device that is connected in parallel with said first device, each of the fuses of said at least one other pair having another first end and another second end, and another pair of input terminals coupled to the other second ends, respectively, said other pair of input terminals extending substantially in parallel to said second direction, and the other first ends of said at least one other pair of fuses are coupled to said pair of output terminals, respectively;
- and
- a pair of input conductors to couple said pair of input terminals to said second ends, respectively, of said fuses, said pair of input conductors having two superposed first portions defining two parallel distal planes, respectively,
- wherein the pair of input terminals is positioned below the pair of fuses and the at least one other pair of fuses, and the other pair of input terminals is positioned below the pair of input terminals.

- and
- another pair of input conductors to couple said other pair of input terminals to said other second ends, respectively, of said fuses of said other pair, said other pair of input conductors having two other first portions, respectively, extending along a same intermediate plane,
- wherein the pair of input terminals is positioned below the pair of fuses and the at least one other pair of fuses, and the other pair of input terminals is positioned below the pair of input terminals,
- wherein each fuse of the pair of fuses and the at least one other pair of fuses extends along a median plane, and
- wherein the intermediate plane along which the two other first portions extend is parallel to and positioned below the median plane along which each fuse of the pair of fuses and the at least one other pair of fuses extends.
