  • Patent number: 4107639
    Abstract: A combination fuse injector and ejector for cartridge type fuses includes a molded plastic open top receptacle, or shroud, having protective peripheral walls, a bottom wall and a hinged cover. The bottom wall includes an opening adjacent each end of the receptacle through which conventional fuse holding contact clips rigidly attached to a mounting surface can enter the receptacle. The bottom wall includes an integral external pedestal which provides a loosely coupled captive mounting for the receptacle on the mounting surface. The bottom wall of the shroud also includes a fuse-ejecting internal surface extending between the pair of contact clips whereby the fuse may be ejected from the clips by a lifting of the shroud on its loosely captive pedestal. The cover includes an integral class for lightly gripping the fuse to retain it during the ejection operation and to accept a replacement fuse for injection into the clips.
