  • Patent number: 5018991
    Abstract: A fuse holder assembly for a cylindrical fuse of the type including a fusible link retained in an insulative sleeve. The assembly includes first and second insulated conductors, first and second metallic terminal elements for attachment to the end of the conductors and including a receiving end for holding one end of the fuse. The assembly further includes first and second sleeves of resilient insulative material for receiving corresponding conductors in an interference fit with each sleeve being slidable along the outside surface of the conductor. A first cap of relatively rigid insulative material includes a barrel defining a cavity for receiving the first terminal element with the cap having a facing end portion and a remote end portion. The cap includes an intermediate internal ledge positioned between the end portions for abutting the fuse-receiving end of the terminal element, and a remote internal ledge positioned at the remote end portion of the cap for abutting a sleeve.

  • Patent number: 4997394
    Abstract: A water resistant fuse holder for receiving a fuse of the plastic body type. The fuse holder includes a fuse body including a housing for retaining a pair of terminal elements for receiving the terminal legs of the fuse. The housing has an upper wall and a mouth extending from the upper wall and defining a cavity opening onto the leg-receiving ends of the terminal elements. The mouth terminates in an engagement surface and the mouth further includes a peripheral outer rim located adjacent the engagement surface. The fuse holder also includes a cap of resilient insulative material including a side wall defining a recess for receiving the mouth and the fuse body. The side wall has an internal ledge encompassing the recess and having an abutment surface for entering into substantially full surface engagement with the engagement surface of the mouth. The side wall further has an internal rib encompassing the recess and positioned between the ledge and the base surface of the cap.

  • Patent number: 4591961
    Abstract: A shock-reducing lamp assembly adapted for mounting on a vehicle. The assembly includes a housing defining a cavity having an open end and a lens connected to the housing enclosing the open end. An integral resilient mount includes a tubular central portion having a first end and a second end, with a pair of spaced mounting feet disposed adjacent to the first end and a second pair of spaced mounting feet positioned adjacent the second end. Each of the feet has a mounting aperture and the first pair of feet extends in a first plane and the second pair of feet extends in a second plane, with the first and second planes being spaced and being substantially parallel. The assembly further includes a metallic socket telescopically received in the central portion. The housing includes components for positioning the mount so that a lamp held in the socket is in operative relationship to the lens.
