Description

L'invention concerne le domaine des porte-fusibles, et notamment des porte-fusibles pour les applications automobiles.The invention relates to the field of fuse holders, and in particular fuse holders for automotive applications.

En particulier, des porte-fusibles de ce type peuvent être utilisés pour protéger des circuits de charge de véhicules électriques. De tels circuits peuvent conduire des courants de 63A sous 250 Volts par exemple. Avec de telles intensités, le risque de voir se produire des échauffements, voire des incendies, est à prendre en considération. Afin d'éliminer, ou tout au moins limiter, ce type de risque, il est prévu d'équiper les circuits de charge avec des fusibles. Avantageusement, ces fusibles sont placés le plus en amont possible dans le circuit de charge, par exemple, au niveau de la prise de charge, afin de protéger le véhicule et ses éventuels occupants.In particular, fuse holders of this type can be used to protect charging circuits of electric vehicles. Such circuits can conduct currents of 63A at 250 Volts for example. With such intensities, the risk of overheating or even fires is to be taken into consideration. In order to eliminate, or at least limit, this type of risk, it is planned to equip the load circuits with fuses. Advantageously, these fuses are placed as far upstream as possible in the charging circuit, for example, at the charging socket, in order to protect the vehicle and its possible occupants.

Le document US 2 049 309 A divulgue un porte-fusible selon le préambule de la revendication 1. Etant donné l'importance du rôle de protection joué par ces fusibles, des perfectionnements à ces fusibles sont recherchés afin d'en augmenter l'efficacité et la fiabilité.The document US 2,049,309 A discloses a fuse holder according to the preamble of claim 1. Given the importance of the protective role played by these fuses, improvements to these fuses are sought in order to increase efficiency and reliability.

A cette fin, il est prévu selon l'invention un porte-fusible selon la revendication 1 comportant deux éléments de boîtier. Par exemple, ces deux éléments de boîtier forment, une fois assemblés, un tube fermé à chacune de ses extrémités. Ils permettent alors de loger au moins un fusible. Plusieurs fusibles peuvent être éventuellement logés en parallèle entre deux éléments de boîtier. Chaque fusible comporte deux bornes de connexion. Chaque élément de boîtier comporte au moins un contact destiné à réaliser une connexion électrique avec l'une de ces bornes. Plus précisément, pour chaque fusible, deux contacts sont prévus, chacun respectivement situé dans un élément de boîtier. Chaque contact est destiné à établir alors une connexion électrique avec l'une des deux bornes de connexion d'un fusible.For this purpose, there is provided according to the invention a fuse holder according to claim 1 comprising two housing elements. For example, these two housing elements form, once assembled, a closed tube at each of its ends. They then allow to house at least one fuse. Several fuses may possibly be housed in parallel between two housing elements. Each fuse has two connection terminals. Each housing element has at least one contact for making an electrical connection with one of these terminals. Specifically, for each fuse, two contacts are provided, each respectively located in a housing element. Each contact is intended to then establish an electrical connection with one of the two connection terminals of a fuse.

Le porte-fusible comporte en outre un support dans lequel peut être logé un ou plusieurs fusible(s). Et le porte-fusible est positionné à l'intérieur des deux éléments de boîtier assemblés l'un avec l'autre de manière à ce que chaque borne soit électriquement connectée à un contact.The fuse holder further comprises a support in which can be housed one or more fuse (s). And the fuse holder is positioned within the two housing members joined together so that each terminal is electrically connected to a contact.

Le support permet d'augmenter la précision du positionnement d'un fusible dans un porte-fusible, notamment vis-à-vis de la connexion électrique entre contacts et bornes, et ceci au bénéfice de la fiabilité de la fonction réalisée par ce fusible.The support makes it possible to increase the accuracy of the positioning of a fuse in a fuse holder, in particular with respect to the electrical connection between contacts and terminals, and this to the benefit of the reliability of the function performed by this fuse.

Afin de faciliter l'insertion et le positionnement d'un fusible dans un support, le support est monté de manière mobile et/ou amovible sur l'un des éléments de boîtier. Dans ce cas, le support peut occuper une position ouverte dans laquelle le fusible peut être monté dans le support. Puis le support est déplacé, de cette position ouverte jusqu'à une position fermée dans laquelle le support est au moins en partie inséré dans l'élément de boîtier sur lequel il est monté. Pendant ce déplacement du support, le support est guidé de manière précise par des moyens de guidage dans cet élément de boîtier. Chaque borne de fusible est donc aussi guidée précisément vers un contact de cet élément de boîtier, de manière à ce qu'en position fermée, chaque contact de cet élément de boîtier et une borne du fusible soient engagés l'un dans l'autre.In order to facilitate insertion and positioning of a fuse in a carrier, the carrier is movably and / or removably mounted on one of the housing members. In this case, the support can occupy an open position in which the fuse can be mounted in the support. Then the carrier is moved from this open position to a closed position in which the carrier is at least partially inserted into the housing member on which it is mounted. During this movement of the support, the support is guided precisely by guide means in this housing element. Each fuse terminal is thus also guided precisely towards a contact of this housing element, so that in the closed position, each contact of this housing element and a terminal of the fuse are engaged one in the other.

On peut également prévoir que le support ne puisse être déplacé vers sa position fermée que si le fusible est bien orienté et positionné dans son support. L'encombrement de l'enveloppe extérieure du support muni d'un fusible mal positionné étant supérieur à celui de l'enveloppe extérieure du support dans lequel chaque fusible est bien positionné, on prévoit une ouverture ajustée dans l'élément de boîtier sur lequel le support est monté de manière mobile. Ainsi, si un fusible n'est pas correctement positionné dans le support, celui-ci ne peut être déplacé à travers cette ouverture.It can also be provided that the support can be moved to its closed position only if the fuse is well oriented and positioned in its support. Since the size of the outer casing of the support provided with a poorly positioned fuse is greater than that of the outer casing of the support in which each fuse is correctly positioned, an aperture fitted into the casing element on which the fuse is positioned is provided. bracket is mounted movably. Thus, if a fuse is not properly positioned in the holder, it can not be moved through this opening.

L'orientation et le positionnement d'un fusible dans son support doivent être particulièrement précis, notamment, par exemple, si les contacts sont des contacts femelles recevant chacun respectivement une broche s'étendant à partir d'une borne du fusible, ou inversement. Ainsi, si la broche a une section rectangulaire, le support peut comporter une fente, également rectangulaire et essentiellement perpendiculaire à l'axe de la broche. La broche peut alors être insérée de manière ajustée dans cette fente, selon une orientation permettant l'alignement de la broche avec l'ouverture du contact femelle pour rendre possible, ou au moins faciliter, l'introduction de la broche dans le contact femelle, lors du déplacement du support de sa position ouverte vers sa position fermée et/ou lors du rapprochement des éléments de boîtier l'un vers l'autre, en vue de leur fermeture.The orientation and the positioning of a fuse in its support must be particularly precise, in particular, for example, if the contacts are female contacts each respectively receiving a pin extending from a terminal of the fuse, or vice versa. Thus, if the pin has a rectangular section, the support may comprise a slot, also rectangular and substantially perpendicular to the axis of the pin. The pin can then be fitly inserted into this slot, in an orientation allowing alignment of the pin with the opening of the female contact to make possible, or at least facilitate, the introduction of the pin into the female contact, during the movement of the support from its open position towards its closed position and / or when the housing elements are brought together towards one another, with a view to closing them.

Des moyens de rétention maintenant le fusible sur celui peuvent contribuer à un positionnement précis du fusible dans son support et, par conséquent, du fusible dans le porte-fusible.Retention means holding the fuse to that can contribute to accurate positioning of the fuse in its holder and, therefore, fuse in the fuse holder.

On peut également prévoir un support avec des moyens de renforcement de verrouillage (aussi appelé selon la terminologie anglo-saxonne « Primary Lock Reinforcement » ou « Terminal Position Assurance »). Par exemple, ces moyens de renforcement de verrouillage peuvent comporter une languette ne pouvant s'engager derrière un contact (« derrière » ici n'est pas relatif au sens d'insertion du contact dans son logement dans un élément de boîtier, mais plutôt relatif à une face du contact perpendiculaire à ce sens d'insertion), ou un linguet de contact, que si ce contact est correctement positionné dans l'élément de boîtier dans lequel il est monté. Autrement dit, si les moyens de renforcement de verrouillage ne peuvent être engagés derrière ce contact, le support ne pourra pas être déplacé, ou du moins pas complètement, de sa position ouverte vers sa position fermée, indiquant ainsi à l'opérateur que le contact n'est pas correctement positionné dans l'élément de boîtier dans lequel il est monté.It is also possible to provide a support with locking reinforcement means (also called in the English terminology "Primary Lock Reinforcement "or" Terminal Position Assurance "). For example, these locking reinforcing means may comprise a tongue that can not engage behind a contact ("behind" here is not relative to the insertion direction of the contact in its housing in a housing element, but rather relative one side of the contact perpendicular to this direction of insertion), or a contact pawl, if this contact is correctly positioned in the housing member in which it is mounted. In other words, if the locking reinforcement means can not be engaged behind this contact, the support can not be moved, or at least not completely, from its open position to its closed position, thus indicating to the operator that the contact is not correctly positioned in the housing element in which it is mounted.

Le porte-fusible peut également comporter un joint pour assurer l'étanchéité entre les deux éléments de boîtier. Dans ce cas, le support peut comporter au moins un élément de maintien tel qu'une patte maintenant le joint sur l'un des éléments de boîtier lorsque l'autre élément de boîtier n'est pas assemblé avec celui-ci. Cette disposition permet de livrer le porte-fusible avec un support pré-monté sur un élément de boîtier et avec un joint déjà en place sur celui-ci, alors que les contacts, les câbles et le fusible ne seront montés qu'à une étape ultérieure.The fuse holder may also include a seal to seal between the two housing elements. In this case, the support may include at least one holding member such as a tab holding the seal on one of the housing members when the other housing member is not assembled therewith. This arrangement allows delivery of the fuse holder with a pre-mounted support on a housing element and with a seal already in place thereon, while the contacts, the cables and the fuse will be mounted at one stage higher.

L'élément de boîtier sur lequel est monté le joint peut présenter un rebord surplombant le joint pour le protéger lorsque les éléments de boîtier ne sont pas assemblés l'un avec l'autre, par exemple pendant des étapes de transport.The housing member on which the gasket is mounted may have a flange overhanging the gasket to protect it when the housing members are not assembled with each other, for example during transport steps.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description détaillée qui suit ainsi que sur les dessins annexés. Sur ces dessins :

  • la figure 5 représente schématiquement en coupe longitudinale selon un plan axial, le porte-fusible des figures 1 et 2.
Other features and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the following detailed description and on the accompanying drawings. On these drawings:

  • the figure 2 schematically represents in perspective and exploded the fuse holder of the figure 1 ;
  • the Figures 3A and 3B schematically represent, in perspective, a support for the fuse holder of Figures 1 and 2 , respectively without and with fuse;

  • the figure 5 represents schematically in longitudinal section along an axial plane, the fuse holder of the Figures 1 and 2 .

Un exemple de porte-fusible 1 est représenté sur la figure 1. Ce porte-fusible 1 est inséré entre deux portions de câbles 2, dans un circuit électrique, tel qu'un circuit de charge d'un véhicule électrique. Chaque portion de câbles 2 est reliée électriquement, par exemple par sertissage ou soudure à un contact 3 (par exemple un contact femelle DCS1 6.3 de Delphi -visible sur la figure 5). Chaque contact est logé dans un élément de boîtier 4, 5. Un premier élément de boîtier 4 comporte des moyens de verrouillage 6 permettant de maintenir un deuxième élément de boîtier 5, formant couvercle. Une fois assemblés les premier et deuxième éléments de boîtier forment un tube fermé à chacune de ses extrémités par une paroi 7 munie d'un passage 8 pour chaque portion de câbles 2.An example of fuse holder 1 is shown on the figure 1 . This fuse holder 1 is inserted between two cable portions 2, in an electric circuit, such as a load circuit of an electric vehicle. Each cable portion 2 is electrically connected, for example by crimping or soldering to a contact 3 (for example a DCS1 6.3 female contact of Delphi -visible on the figure 5 ). Each contact is housed in a housing element 4, 5. A first housing element 4 comprises locking means 6 for holding a second housing member 5, forming a cover. Once assembled, the first and second housing elements form a tube closed at each of its ends by a wall 7 provided with a passage 8 for each cable portion 2.

Comme représenté sur la figure 2, ce porte-fusible comporte, outre les contacts 3 et les premier 4 et deuxième 5 éléments de boîtier, un support de fusible 9, un fusible 10 et un joint d'étanchéité 11. Le fusible 10 est logé dans le support 9, lui-même logé dans le tube constitué des premier 4 et deuxième 5 éléments de boîtier assemblés l'un avec l'autre. Le joint 11, monté sur le premier élément de boîtier 4, est intercalé entre les premier 4 et deuxième 5 éléments de boîtier, à la manière d'un joint interfacial, afin d'assurer l'étanchéité entre eux. Les moyens de verrouillage 6 sont ici constitués de deux attaches 6a élastiques disposées, de manière diamétralement opposée, sur le premier élément de boîtier 4, et munie chacune respectivement d'une encoche 6b (voir figures 4A et 4B) dans laquelle vient s'encliqueter un ergot 6c située en correspondance sur le deuxième élément de boîtier 5. Le premier élément de boîtier 4 est essentiellement constitué d'un culot 4a sensiblement cylindrique avec une face externe 4b partiellement entourée d'une jupe 4c.As shown on the figure 2 , this fuse holder comprises, in addition to the contacts 3 and the first 4 and second 5 housing elements, a fuse holder 9, a fuse 10 and a seal 11. The fuse 10 is housed in the support 9, it - Even housed in the tube consisting of the first 4 and second 5 housing elements assembled with each other. The gasket 11, mounted on the first housing element 4, is interposed between the first 4 and second 5 housing elements, in the manner of an interfacial seal, in order to seal between them. The locking means 6 here consist of two elastic fasteners 6a disposed diametrically opposite to the first housing element 4 and each provided with a notch 6b respectively (see FIG. Figures 4A and 4B ) in which is snapped a lug 6c located in correspondence on the second housing element 5. The first housing element 4 consists essentially of a substantially cylindrical base 4a with an outer face 4b partially surrounded by a skirt 4c.

Le fusible 10 comporte deux bornes 10a, à partir de chacun desquelles s'étend une broche 10b formant un contact mâle adapté pour être connecté électriquement avec un contact 3 de type femelle.The fuse 10 comprises two terminals 10a, from each of which extends a pin 10b forming a male contact adapted to be electrically connected to a contact 3 of the female type.

Comme représenté de manière plus détaillée sur la figure 3A, le support 9 présente une forme de berceau avec deux parois latérales 12 s'étendant longitudinalement entre deux flasques 13. Deux oreilles latérales 14 élastiques s'étendent chacune respectivement à partir d'une paroi latérale 12. Chacune de ces oreilles latérales 14 est munie d'un cran 14a pour former des moyens de rétention d'un fusible 10 dans son support 9, comme illustré par la figure 3B.As shown in more detail on the figure 3A , the support 9 has a cradle shape with two lateral walls 12 extending longitudinally between two flanges 13. Two lateral elastic ears 14 each extend respectively from a side wall 12. Each of these side lugs 14 is provided with one notch 14a to form retention means of a fuse 10 in its support 9, as illustrated by the figure 3B .

Le support 9 comporte également des moyens de guidage et de fixation 15 (Figure 3A). Ceux-ci comprennent deux pattes 15a, diamétralement opposées, comportant chacune respectivement un crochet 15b destiné à retenir ou verrouiller le support 9 sur le premier élément de boîtier 4. Ces deux pattes 15a constituent des moyens de guidage qui permettent de guider et de positionner précisément le support 9 par rapport au premier élément de boîtier 4.The support 9 also comprises guiding and fixing means 15 ( Figure 3A ). These comprise two legs 15a, diametrically opposite, each comprising respectively a hook 15b for retaining or locking the support 9 on the first housing element 4. These two tabs 15a are guide means which guide and accurately position the support 9 relative to the first housing element 4 .

Chaque flasque 13 comporte une fente 13a. Chaque fente 13a a une forme essentiellement rectangulaire, ouverte sur un bord du flasque 13 orienté vers le dessus du support 9. Chaque fente 13a est destinée à recevoir une broche 10b du fusible 10. Chaque broche 10b a une section transversale (c'est-à-dire perpendiculaire à la direction d'insertion de la broche 10b dans un contact 3, qui correspond aussi à la direction d'assemblage A des premier 4 et deuxième 5 éléments de boîtier), essentiellement rectangulaire. Chaque broche 10b peut alors être insérée de manière ajustée dans une fente 13a respective, comme représenté sur la figure 3B.Each flange 13 has a slot 13a. Each slot 13a has a substantially rectangular shape, open on an edge of the flange 13 facing the top of the support 9. Each slot 13a is intended to receive a pin 10b of the fuse 10. Each pin 10b has a cross section (that is, that is perpendicular to the insertion direction of the pin 10b in a contact 3, which also corresponds to the assembly direction A of the first 4 and second 5 housing elements), essentially rectangular. Each pin 10b can then be snugly inserted into a respective slot 13a, as shown in FIG. figure 3B .

Le support 9 est également muni de moyens de renforcement de verrouillage 16. Ceux-ci sont essentiellement constitués d'une languette 16a s'étendant longitudinalement, vers l'extérieur du support 9, à partir de chaque flasque 13. La fonction de ces languettes 16a est décrite de manière plus détaillée, plus loin, en relation avec la figure 5.The support 9 is also provided with locking reinforcing means 16. These consist essentially of a tongue 16a extending longitudinally towards the outside of the support 9, from each flange 13. The function of these tongues 16a is described in more detail, later, in connection with the figure 5 .

Les figures 4A et 4B illustrent respectivement les positions ouverte et fermée du support 9 sur le premier élément de boîtier 4. Dans la position correspondant à la figure 4A, le support 9 est en position ouverte, ou pré-verrouillée. Dans cette position, le fusible 10 peut être introduit dans le support 9 sans avoir à démonter celui-ci du premier élément de boîtier 4. Le support 9 reste maintenu, mais mobile, sur le premier élément de boîtier 4 grâce au fait que les crochets 15b restent engagés dans des évidements postérieurs 17.The Figures 4A and 4B respectively illustrate the open and closed positions of the support 9 on the first housing element 4. In the position corresponding to the Figure 4A , the support 9 is in the open position, or pre-locked. In this position, the fuse 10 can be introduced into the support 9 without having to dismount it from the first housing element 4. The support 9 remains maintained, but mobile, on the first housing element 4 thanks to the fact that the hooks 15b remain engaged in later recesses 17.

Lorsque le fusible 10 est bien positionné entre les oreilles latérales 14, sous les crans 14a et avec les bornes 10a insérées dans les fentes 13a, le support 9 peut être déplacé longitudinalement, vers sa position fermée, à l'intérieur d'une cavité 18 ménagée dans le culot 4a du premier élément de boîtier 4 et débouchant sur une ouverture 19. Dans ce déplacement, les pattes 15a coulissent dans des rainures 20 disposées longitudinalement, de manière diamétralement opposée, sur la face externe 4b du culot 4a. Ainsi, lors de l'insertion du support 9 dans le premier élément de boîtier 4, celui-ci ne peut être que correctement orienté, de manière à ce que l'ouverture du contact femelle 3, qui est logé dans le premier élément de boîtier 4, soit alignée avec la broche 10b correspondante.When the fuse 10 is well positioned between the lateral lugs 14, under the notches 14a and with the terminals 10a inserted in the slots 13a, the support 9 can be moved longitudinally, towards its closed position, inside a cavity 18 formed in the base 4a of the first housing element 4 and opening on an opening 19. In this movement, the tabs 15a slide in grooves 20 disposed longitudinally, diametrically opposite, on the outer face 4b of the base 4a. Thus, when inserting the support 9 in the first housing element 4, it can only be correctly oriented, so that the opening of the female contact 3, which is housed in the first housing element 4, aligned with the corresponding pin 10b.

Si le fusible 10 n'est pas bien positionné dans le support 9, il dépasse de l'enveloppe externe dans laquelle il devrait être. Son encombrement est alors tel qu'il ne peut plus passer par l'ouverture 19. De ce fait, le support 9 ne peut pas être déplacé en position fermée (celle correspondant à la figure 4B) et le deuxième élément de boîtier 5 ne peut-être verrouillé sur le premier élément de boîtier 4. Ainsi l'opérateur est averti d'une erreur de montage du fusible 10. Dans le cas contraire, le support 9 peut être déplacé jusqu'à sa position fermée, dans laquelle les crochets 15b viennent s'encliqueter dans des évidements antérieurs 21 (voir figure 5).If the fuse 10 is not well positioned in the support 9, it exceeds the outer envelope in which it should be. Its size is then such that it can no longer pass through the opening 19. As a result, the support 9 can not be moved to the closed position (that corresponding to the Figure 4B ) and the second housing element 5 can not be locked on the first housing element 4. Thus the operator is warned of a mounting error of the fuse 10. In the opposite case, the support 9 can be moved up to in its closed position, in which the hooks 15b snap into anterior recesses 21 (see figure 5 ).

Le deuxième élément de boîtier 5 peut alors être enfilé sur le support 9 et autour du culot 4a, pour être verrouillé grâce aux moyens de verrouillage 6. Comme on peut le voir notamment sur la figure 1, le deuxième élément de boîtier 5 comporte des moyens de détrompage 25 permettant un opérateur d'orienter correctement celui-ci par rapport au support 9. Ainsi, lors de son insertion sur le support 9, le deuxième élément de boîtier 5 ne peut être que correctement orienté, de manière à ce que l'ouverture du contact femelle 3 qui est logé dans celui-ci soit alignée avec la broche 10b correspondante.The second housing element 5 can then be threaded on the support 9 and around the base 4a, to be locked by the locking means 6. As can be seen in particular on the figure 1 , the second housing element 5 comprises keying means 25 allowing an operator to correctly orient it with respect to the support 9. Thus, when it is inserted on the support 9, the second housing element 5 can only be correctly oriented, so that the opening of the female contact 3 which is housed therein is aligned with the corresponding pin 10b.

Comme représenté sur la figure 5, les premier 4 et deuxième 5 éléments de boîtier ainsi assemblés forment un tube fermé et maintenu étanche grâce au joint interfacial 11 et aux joints unitaires filaires 24 sertis avec les câbles 2 sur les contacts 3.As shown on the figure 5 , the first 4 and second 5 thus assembled casing elements form a closed tube and kept tight thanks to the interfacial seal 11 and to the unitary wire joints 24 crimped with the cables 2 on the contacts 3.

Si les contacts 3 sont bien insérés dans leurs logements respectifs des premier 4 et deuxième 5 éléments de boîtier, les linguets de verrouillage 22 viennent se placer, par retour élastique, dans une découpe 23 des contacts 3 prévue à cet effet. Ainsi, lors de l'insertion du support 9 dans le premier élément de boîtier 4, et lors du montage du deuxième élément de boîtier 5 sur l'ensemble déjà constitué du premier élément de boîtier 4 et du support 9, les languettes 16a peuvent venir se placer derrière les contacts 3, et plus précisément encore derrière les linguets 22. Si au contraire un contact 3 n'est pas correctement inséré dans son logement, le linguet 22 correspondant bloque le passage d'une languette 16a et soit le support 9 ne peut venir en position fermée, soit le deuxième élément de boîtier 5 ne peut venir complètement se verrouiller sur le premier élément de boîtier 4. Dans les deux cas, l'opérateur est averti d'une erreur de montage.If the contacts 3 are inserted into their respective housings of the first 4 and second 5 housing elements, the locking latches 22 are placed, by elastic return, in a cutout 23 of the contacts 3 provided for this purpose. Thus, during the insertion of the support 9 in the first housing element 4, and during the mounting of the second housing element 5 on the assembly already constituted of the first housing element 4 and the support 9, the tabs 16a can come Be placed behind the contacts 3, and even more precisely behind the pawls 22. If on the contrary a contact 3 is not properly inserted into its housing, the corresponding pawl 22 blocks the passage of a tongue 16a and the support 9 does not can come into closed position, or the second housing member 5 can come completely lock on the first housing element 4. In both cases, the operator is notified of a mounting error.

Comme on peut également le voir sur la figure 5, le joint 11 est protégé par un rebord constitué de la jupe 4c. Ainsi, le joint 11 est protégé même lorsque que le deuxième élément de boîtier 5 n'est pas assemblé avec le premier 4. En outre, les pattes 15a peuvent maintenir le joint 11 sur le premier élément de boîtier 4, sous la jupe 4c, lorsque que le support 9 est en position fermée (qui correspond avantageusement à la position de livraison de l'ensemble constitué du premier élément de boîtier 4 et du support 9).As can also be seen on the figure 5 , the seal 11 is protected by a flange consisting of the skirt 4c. Thus, the seal 11 is protected even when the second housing element 5 is not assembled with the first 4. In addition, the tabs 15a can hold the seal 11 on the first housing element 4, under the skirt 4c, when the support 9 is in the closed position (which advantageously corresponds to the delivery position of the assembly consisting of the first housing element 4 and the support 9).

On peut également remarquer sur la figure 5 que le deuxième élément de boîtier 5, enserre de manière étroite le support 9, dans lequel est logé de manière précise le fusible 10, qui lui-même est connecté à des contacts 3 verrouillés de manière fiable et solide dans leur logement respectif grâce aux moyens de renforcement de verrouillage 16.We can also notice on the figure 5 that the second housing element 5 closely encloses the support 9, in which is precisely housed the fuse 10, which itself is connected to contacts 3 reliably and securely locked in their respective housing by the means locking reinforcement 16.

Il a été décrit ci-dessus un porte-fusible avec un seul support pour un seul fusible, mais selon des variantes, le porte-fusible selon l'invention peut comporter un seul support mais pouvant loger plusieurs fusibles ou encore plusieurs supports logeant chacun un ou plusieurs fusibles.It has been described above a fuse holder with a single support for a single fuse, but according to variants, the fuse holder according to the invention may comprise a single support but may accommodate several fuses or several supports each housing a or more fuses.
