Abstract
A plurality of fuse elements each having a pair of flat terminal pieces interconnected by a fusible part, and a coupling part for coupling the flat terminal pieces of each fuse element along the fuse belt are one-piece formed by pressing process. A fuse belt is formed by attaching an insulating housing covering the fusible part to each fuse element. The flat terminal pieces of each fuse element in the fuse belt are successively separated from the coupling part by cutting, and the fuses are mounted to fuse mounting parts of an electric junction box.
Claims10
A fuse belt comprising:
- a plurality of fuse elements, each of which includes
- a pair of flat terminal pieces interconnected by a fusible part, and
- an insulating housing in which at least said fusible part is accommodated;
- and
- a coupling part to which said flat terminal pieces of said fuse elements are coupled so as to be aligned along said coupling part.
A fuse assembling method comprising the steps of:
- integrally forming by pressing a plurality of fuse elements, each of which includes a pair of flat terminal pieces interconnected by a fusible part, and a coupling part to which said flat terminal pieces of said fuse elements are coupled, so that said fuse elements are aligned along said coupling part;
- attaching an insulating housing so as to cover said fusible part to each of said fuse elements;
- and
- separating the flat terminal pieces of one of said fuse elements from said coupling part by cutting so as to provide a fuse constituted by one of said fuse element covered with said insulating housing;
- and
- mounting said fuse to a fuse mounting part in an electric junction box.
A fuse belt comprising a plurality of fuses and a coupling part, wherein each of said fuses includes a pair of terminal pieces and a fusible part connecting said pair of terminal pieces, and said fuses are coupled to said coupling part so as to be aligned along said coupling part.
