yiews inwhich A represents a non-conductmg cylindrical container or cartridge shell for the reception of asbestos, wool or other non-conducting filament, the same being exteriorly threaded at its ends for receiving the interiorly-threaded ferrule and knife-bladed hcadsl and 2, respectively.

'.l-he'1i1anner of securing the round fuse wires 8, shown in the views'is identically To all whom it mag cahcem v e it own that I, LEON D. BLAGKMAN, a. citizen of the United States, residing at I Battle,Creek, in the county of Calhoun and State of Michi an, have invented certain new and useful mprovements in Cartridge- Fuses, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention more particularly relates to refillable cartridge fuses so c0nburned out the parts again alike; the only diiference in the make-up of the fuses is a provision employed in the 'lrnife-blade style shown in Fig. the blades and not detract from the electrical contact of the parts, which will be hereinanother may lie-installed and in rea 'ness for use.

The main object of the invention is to construct a fuse of its class wherein the electriafter more fully explained. cal Contact of the assembled parts will have To either end of the shell A, a fusehold a large area of surface and in which the 111g head 4 is fitted. These heads at points parts will be very firmly held i about their edges have a series of stamped in position and capable of being readily] lugs 5, which when fitted extend within the shell in close enlgagement therewith to prevent the heads from lateral displacement. The heads furtheir are provided with central fuse-recciving apertures 6 and oppositely-disposed perforations 7, the latter of which receive the depending lugs 8 of the caps 9.

In fitting a fuse wire 3 to the end of a shell it is inserted through the aperture 6 of a heads and extends somewhat beyond it also contemplates making the various the head; thence a cap -9 with a radiallyelements of simple construction, economical formed open-ended slot 10 is-fit-ted to the to manufacture and capable of being easily head with the slot striding the fuse and the assembled. lugs 8 inserted within the perforations, as
