Gripping device and holder for handling a tubular fuse.

摘要

Gripping device (1) for longitudinally fitting and removing a tubular fuse (32) for electrical medium- and high-voltage installations. The gripping device (1) having a sleeve-type cavity (4) for receiving a terminal electrode (25) of the tubular fuse (32). An annular element (26) having an ellipsoidal projection and bent into a V-shape around its short axis being fitted in the cavity (4) for providing a friction coupling to the terminal electrode (25). For displacing the annular element (26) in axial direction of the cavity (4) by hand, a sleeve (29) is slideably latched over the cavity (4) and provided with an edge (30) abutting the annular element (26). For making electrical contact to the terminal electrode (25) of the tubular fuse (32) contact elements (20) are arranged in the cavity (4). A conductor (6) extends from the cavity (4) for detachably connecting the terminal electrode (25) to a contact (39) of a holder (34) for receiving the tubular fuse (32).
