Dual-clamp fuse block

A fuse block capable of receiving a first fuse and a second fuse in an electrically parallel configuration relative to at least two electrical conductors, each fuse having first and second electrical contacts, the fuse block comprising:

• a. at least one pair of opposing, aligned, and spaced apart electrically conductive terminals,
• b. wherein each said terminal of said at least one pair of opposing, aligned, and spaced apart electrically conductive terminals comprises a proximal end and a distal end;
• c. at least one cavity in said at least one proximal end of each said terminal,
• d. wherein said at least one cavity comprises at least one first sidewall and at least one second sidewall, each said sidewall of said at least one first sidewall and at least one second sidewall comprising at least one bottom edge and at least one top edge;
• e. at least one clamp, each said clamp of said at least one clamp operable, in a single operation, to urge one of the first contact and the second contact of the first fuse into abutment with said first sidewall and to urge one of the first contact and the second contact of the second fuse into abutment with said second sidewall.

• ii. each said terminal of said at least one pair of opposing, aligned, and spaced apart electrically conductive terminals comprises at least one electrical conductor coupler positioned proximal to said at least one distal end,
• b. at least one inverted trapezoidal cavity in each said proximal end of each said each terminal, wherein
• i. each inverted trapezoidal cavity of said at least one inverted trapezoidal cavity comprises at least one bottom wall comprising at least one cavity bottom surface, at least one first inclined sidewall, at least one second inclined sidewall, and first angles of equal magnitude between said at least one cavity bottom surface and said at least one first and at least one second inclined sidewalls, and
• ii. said bottom wall comprises at least one first threaded bore therein;
• c. at least one inverted trapezoidal block, having a bottom surface, a first side surface, and a second side surface, and second angles of equal magnitude between said at least one bottom surface and said at least one first and at least one second side surfaces, wherein
• i. said first angles and said second angles are congruent;
• ii. said at least one inverted trapezoidal block is sized and arranged to fit within said at least one inverted trapezoidal cavity;
• and
• iii. said at least one inverted trapezoidal block comprises a second bore there through that is alignable to said first threaded bore;
• and
• d. at least one screw sized, shaped, and arranged to pass through said second bore and into said first threaded bore to urge said at least one inverted trapezoidal block toward said cavity bottom surface of said inverted trapezoidal cavity.
