Abstract
A fuse-holder comprising a body in which at least one seat is provided for receiving at least one fuse and to act as a guide and support for closure plugs which make contact with one end of the fuses. The fuse-holder is connected to at least one second electrical unit and has contact devices arranged to cooperate at one end with the plugs and at their other end with at least one further electrical connection member. The fuse-holder also includes apertures to be penetrated by flat pins of the second electrical unit for contact with the base of the fuses.
Claims15
A modular fuse-holder device, comprising
- a body having an upper part, a lower part and first and second mutually opposite, substantially flat surfaces, said upper part and said lower part having adjacent corresponding surfaces and being separable from each other,
- substantially S-shaped electrically conductive means having a first enlarged end extending within said body and a second end protruding at right angles from said first surface,
- threaded coupling means arranged in said first end of said conductive means,
- fuse-housing means arranged in said lower part for supporting at least one fuse,
- access means arranged in said upper part and opening into said second surface, said access means communicating with said fuse-housing means to enable penetration of contact means of an electric unit within said upper part to thereby establish electric contact between the at least one fuse and the electric unit,
- tubular guide means arranged in a top surface of said upper part of said body, said tubular guide means being aligned with said threaded coupling means and also with said fuse-housing means,
- a cap comprising an electrically conductive hollow threaded portion structured and arranged to engage with said threaded coupling means and to pass through said tubular guide means to establish electric contact between said conductive means and the at least one fuse, and
- coupling means arranged on said second surface for removably connecting said body to the electric unit arranged adjacent thereto.
