  • Power feed socket and contact point unit used therein
    Patent number: 9099818
    Abstract: A terminal/fuse assembly is fitted in a cylindrical, metallic inner case. The terminal/fuse assembly disposes a terminal penetrating through a bottom wall, a fuse and a contact point disc that overlap inside a housing composed of a plastic cover plate and a fuse box. The fuse is provided with a fuse body at a tongue piece extending inward from a ring portion in a peripheral edge of an elastic conductive plate. A part of the ring portion is supported in the upward position from the terminal. The contact point disc in contact with the elastic conductive plate at the support portion presses the fuse body downward, and thereby the tongue piece makes contact with the terminal to be conductive from the contact point disc to the terminal.
