Fuse box

A fuse box comprising:

• a housing;
• at least one first opening formed in said housing, said first opening receiving a screw-fastened type fuse having two terminals inserted through said first opening;
• a second opening formed in said housing, said second opening receiving and directing conductors connected to said terminals to external circuits;
• two opposing third openings formed in said housing, said third openings receiving bolts inserted into said housing and threaded into apertures in said housing to mechanically secure said terminals together with said conductors to said housing and to electrically connect said terminals with said conductors, said third openings facing said terminals of the fuse when the fuse is inserted and having guide grooves spaced a predetermined distance from said apertures in said housing;
• and
• a cover for covering said second opening, said cover having two opposing lids formed continuously integral therewith and an opening through which said conductors are directed from said second opening to the external circuits, said two opposing lids are adapted to be slidably guided and accepted by said guide grooves to close said third openings when said cover is assembled to the housing and said bolts are fully threaded into the housing to press said terminals and said conductors between said bolts and said housing, and said bolts prevent closure of the two opposing lids when at least one of said bolts is not fully threaded into said housing.
