Abstract:
An in-line fuse holder assembly comprising a pair of hollow fuse holder parts having confronting open ends held in abutment by circumferentially spaced axially extending interlocking fingers at the confronting open ends of the fuse holder parts. The fingers have tapering outer ends so the confronting circumferentially facing edges of adjacent fingers of each fuse holder part define a flaring mouth or entryway for the fingers of the other fuse holder part when the fuse holder parts are separated and positioned so the fingers are out of alignment, to permit the open inner ends of the fuse holder parts readily to be brought into abutting relation prior to the interlocking of the fingers thereof. At least one of the fingers of at least one of the fuse holder parts has a narrow shank portion extending rearwardly beyond the end portions of the fingers of the other part when the fuse holder parts are in assembled relation, to form an anchoring rib insertable into a notch in a circular mounting opening of a panel in which the latter fuse holder part can be mounted.
