First Claim
Patent Images
1. A fuse for motor vehicle power lines comprising:
- a pyrotechnical igniter having an ignition pellet contained within an explosion chamber having a firing channel extending therethrough;
a conductive first connection flap;
a conductive second connection flap spaced from the first connection flap by a gap; and
a connection portion arranged in the gap which is formed between the connection flaps, the connection portion formed from solder joint and which thereby fills and bridges the gap between the connection flaps;
so as to electrically and mechanically connect the connection flaps and-forming a predetermined breaking location by the connection portion, wherein the connection flaps and the electrical connection portion sealing the explosion chamber of the pyrotechnical igniter in such a manner that the predetermined breaking location bursts owing to the gas pressure of the pyrotechnical igniter brought about in the event of actuation and wherein the connection flaps are arranged in such a manner that they are bent so as to face away from the ignition pellet in the region of the firing channel owing to the gas pressure of the pyrotechnical igniter brought about in the event of actuation.

Abstract
Circuit breaker for motor vehicle power lines, having a first planar connection flap, a second connection flap and a connection portion which electrically connects the connection flaps and which forms a desired breaking location. A particularly simple production with low material use can be achieved by the connection flaps and the electrical connection portion closing an explosion chamber of a pyrotechnical igniter in such a manner that the desired breaking location bursts owing to the gas pressure of the pyrotechnical igniter brought about in the event of actuation.
