Abstract: A mating device for a cartridge-type fuse to facilitate its insertion in a holder and the removal therefrom. The fuse has a tubular casing whose ends are enclosed by terminal caps which are engageable by the spring clips of the holder. The fuse mate is molded of synthetic plastic material configured to define a block-shaped socket having a longitudinal channel therein adapted to accommodate the tubular casing of the fuse and lateral inlet jaws which are dilatable to admit the casing into the channel, the socket being integral with the underside of a rectangular shield which protectively covers the entire fuse and the "live" holder clips. Formed on the upper side of the shield and integral therewith is a handle having concave sides to define finger depressions and a face which lends itself to marking.

Abstract: A mating device for a cartridge-type fuse to facilitate its insertion in a holder and the removal therefrom. The fuse has a tubular casing whose ends are enclosed by terminal caps which are engageable by the spring clips of the holder. The fuse mate is molded of synthetic plastic material configured to define a pair of resilient clip-on jaws adapted to spread apart and then embrace the fuse casing, the jaws projecting from and being integral with the underside of a rectangular shield which protectively covers the entire fuse and the "live" holder clips. Formed on the upper side of the shield and integral therewith is a block-shaped handle having concave sides to define finger depressions and a face which lends itself to marking.
