<p>A switching fusible apparatus includes a fuse holder 18 receivable in a receptacle 10 and rotatable to "ON", "OFF" and "RELEASE" positions. The fuse holder can contain a first fuse F and it may, instead, contain an adapter which, in turn, contains a shorter fuse. A slot (56a) is provided in the exposed end of the fuse holder and a knob 54 is interlocked with the slot for selectively turning the fuse holder. Contact is made to each metal end cap (C) of each fuse in the "ON" position of the fuse holder by a contact tab (26, 28) that is not significantly yielding per se but which is rendered prominently resilient by oppositely extending resilient torsion supports (38) (38 min ) extending along the receptacle.</p> |
