PCT No. PCT/DE97/00535 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 2, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 2, 1998 PCT Filed Mar. 14, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/38199 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 16, 1997The invention concerns a closing-edge-type fuse with a safety strip (1) which comprises an electric switch device and consists of a plurality of contact elements (2, 2a) which are disposed in a row in a resilient tube (3). In the rest position, under the effect of resilient prestress, the contact elements (2, 2a) abut one another at contact points provided at the end face. Under the effect of an external force when the tube (3) is deformed, the contact elements (2, 2a) are moved apart breaking the contact. A resilient contact element bed (4, 4a), which is adapted to the shape of the contact elements (2, 2a) and accommodates each of the contact elements individually, is provided in the resilient tube (3).
