  • Patent number: 5003280
    Abstract: An automotive fuse includes a pair of spring clips connected by a fusible bridge and a transparent shield extending laterally over the width of at least the bridge and a face of one of the clips. The shield is connected to only one of the clips, so that the other clip and any associated lead fall freely from the fuse when the bridge fuses in response to excessive current. The clips are adapted for engagement with matching clips on hot or utility leads in the circuits to which the fuses are connected. The shield can be tinted with color to correspond to the amperage rating of the fuse.
