Multi-fusable electrical receptacle

An article for use with an electrical plug, said article comprising:

• a housing having a first end and an opposing second end, said first end having two holes formed therein and adapted for receiving prongs of an electrical plug, said second end having a cavity formed therein, and said housing further having channel means formed therein in communication with said two holes of said first end and said cavity of said second end;
• a fuse carried in said channel means;
• a buss bar carried in said channel means;
• a pair of wires received through said cavity and in electrical contact with said fuses;
• a pair of contacts carried in said channel means and in electrical connection with said fuses, said pair of contacts being proximate to said holes of said first section, whereby said buss bar, said fuse, said pair of wires and said pair of contacts define a pair of electrical paths, said first electrical path of said pair of electrical paths including one wire of said pair of wires, said fuse and a first contact of said pair of contacts, said second electrical path of said pair of electrical paths including a second wire of said pair of wires, said buss bar, and said second contact of said pair of contacts, said pair of electrical paths adapted to conduct electrical current from said pair of wires to prongs of said electrical plug when said prongs are inserted into said holes and electrical current is being carried by said pair of wires.

An article for use with an electrical plug, comprising:

• a housing having a power section and a fuse section slidable with respect to said power section, said power section having channels formed therein and a cavity in communication with said channels, said fuse section having channels and two holes, said two holes being in communication with said channels, said two holes being adapted to receive prongs of an electrical plug;
• at least one fuse;
• two fuse holders, each fuse holder of said two fuse holders carried in said channels of said fuse section and having a contact end proximate to said holes in said fuse section so that, when prongs of an electrical plug are inserted in said holes, said contact end engages said prongs;
• and
• two electrical wires having two terminals thereon, each terminal of said two terminals being attached to each wire of said two wires, said wires being received in said cavity and extending into said channels of said power section, said terminals, said at least one fuse and said two fuse holders define at least one electrically conducting path for carrying electrical current from said two wires to said contact when said two electrical wires are carrying electrical current.
