Fuse holder adapter
First Claim
1. A multiple fuse adapter for use with first and second predetermined fuse clips spaced at a first predetermined distance from one another, the multiple fuse adapter comprising:
- first and second metallic plates;
an insulator plate;
said metallic plates being mounted on said insulator plate such that the metallic plates lie in a plane, separated by a distance sufficient that one edge portion of each metallic plate is engageable with one of said predetermined fuse clips and that the metallic plates are electrically isolated from each other, with a further portion of the edge of one metallic plate facing a further portion of the edge of the other metallic plate, said further edge portions forming a pair of opposing edge portions;
a plurality of fuse clip pairs, respective clips of said fuse clip pairs being each affixed to respective ones of the metallic plates such that the clips of at least one of the fuse clip pairs are spaced from each other at a distance different from that separating the clips of another such fuse clip pairs, said fuse clip pairs constituting a plurality of fuse holders.

Abstract
A fuse holder adapter for use with knife-blade fuse clips used with standard 600 ampere fuses in which the adapter comprises first and second metallic plates mounted in facing, spaced relationship on an insulator plate. The first and second metallic plates have respective first and third sections which are adapted to receive fuse clips to form fuse holders of different length and further have respective second and fourth sections formed as knife-blades and extending beyond the insulator plate so as to be able to be receivable in the knife-blade fuse clips used with the standard 600 ampere fuses.

11. A method of fabricating a multiple fuse adapter for use with first and second predetermined fuse clips spaced at a first predetermined distance from one another, the method comprising:
-
providing first and second metallic plates and an insulator plate; mounting said metallic plates on said insulator plate such that the metallic plates lie in a plane, separated by a distance sufficient that one edge portion of each metallic plate is engageable with one of said predetermined fuse clips and that the metallic plates are electrically isolated from each other, with a further portion of the edge of one metallic plate facing a further portion of the edge of the other metallic plate, said further edge portions forming a pair of opposing edges; and affixing a plurality of fuse clip pairs to said metallic plates such that one clip of each fuse clip pair is affixed to one of said metallic plates and such that the clips of at least one of the fuse clip pairs are spaced apart at a distance greater than that separating the clips of another of the fuse clip pairs, said fuse clip pairs constituting a plurality of fuse holders. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
