Patent number: 11139136Abstract: A fuse holder that includes a housing, which has a rotating fuse carrier that rotates about a pivot point between open and closed positions. The fuse carrier is configured to accept insertion of a fuse when in the open position, and configured to bring the fuse into electrical contact with a first and a second fuse clip when in the closed position. Additionally, the fuse carrier, when in the closed position, is further configured to orient the fuse so that the fuse is positioned more vertically than horizontally. In particular embodiments of the invention, the fuse carrier rotates about a pivot located in the housing.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2020Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: Regal Beloit America, Inc.Inventors: Robert Scheckelhoff, Paul Scott Buskey, Joseph Brown
