lic material such that the neck portion 62 will melt to break electrical continuity between the terminals when a current in excess of a predetermined magnitude is passed therethrough. The fuse .element 22 is adapted to be positioned onto the terminals 20 by having fingers 54 received within the openings 64. The other fingers 56 provide a support to hold the fusable element 22 in a plane which is parallel to the plane of the body portion 14. The fusable element 22- is adapted to be secured in place on the fingers 54 by soldering it thereto, as indicated by reference numeral 68.
The fusable element 22 is adapted to be covered to prevent dirt and other deleterious matter from coming into contact therewith by the cover 24. The cover 24 is hollow and open at both ends to define an axial through opening 70 which is shaped complementary to main body portion 14 of the body member 12. That is, the cover has planar top and bottom sides 71 and 72, as viewed in FIG. .6, and rounded ends 73 and 74 shaped complementary with the external arcuate sides of the side walls 33 and 35. i
The cover 24 is adapted to be slidably receiver over the main body portion 14 of the body member 12 and held in place when positioned thereover by the detent means 30. The detent means 30 comprises a pair of inwardly extending recesses 80 adjacent the opposite ends of the handle portion 16 and inwardly extending, arcuate flanges 82 formed integral with the rounded ends 73 and 74 at the right end of the cover 24, as viewed in FIG. 1. The cover 24, like the body portion 14, is made from a suitable electrically insulating material, such as plastic. When the cover is being positioned over the main body portion 14, the flanges 82 will engage the handle portion 16 adjacent the recesses 80. The cover 24, though substantially rigid, is nevertheless thin enough to be sufficiently flexible to enable the flanges 82 to be cammed outwardly over the outermost handle sections 16a until the flanges 82 are positioned adjacent the recesses 80 whereupon the self-biasing forces of the plastic cover will return toward its original free state position and be snapped or detented in place within the recess 80, as shown in FIG. 1. The flanges 82 and the cover 24 are thus detented between the side wall 34 and the handle section 16a adjacent the recesses 80. The top and bottom walls 71 and 72 of the cover 24 are also recessed, as indicated by reference numeral 86, adjacent its right end so as to expose the oval opening 44 so that the handle portion 16 can be manually grasped. It should be noted that even though the cover 24 prevents or substantially prevents deleterious matter from coming into contact with the fuse element 22, the sliding fit between the cover 24 and body member 12 is such thatair can pass therebetween. This helps to dissipate the heat generated by the fuse element.
v passed through a suitable punch and die apparatus to punch out a carrier strip 90 and partial terminals 20, as
shown in FIG. 5. Thereafter, the terminals and carrier strip 90, as shown' in FIG. 5, are moved to a mold station wherein'the 'plastic body member 12 is molded onto the terminals 20. The partial assembly is then passed through another punch and die apparatus where the carrier strip portions between the blade portions 50 of the terminals 20 is punched out and removed to separate and'provide the finished terminals 20.-1t should be understood that the carrier strip could be removed at a later operation, if desired.
Thereafter, the body member 12 and terminals 20 are conveyed and fed via ahopp'er onto 'a'work station where blanked out fuse elements 22 a re' fed and positioned onto the fingers 54. This assembly is then fed to another work station where a pair of rings of solder are placed over the fingers 54 and then heated to melt the solder to form the soldered connections between the ends 60 and 6 1 of the fuse elementsand the terminals i 20; Thereafter, the circuit protector thuslrnade isfed by hopper fe'ed into a machine wherea previously molded cover 24 is assembled thereover by relatively moving the circuit protector and cover towards each other until the flanges 82 snap within the recesses 80. The particular construction and arrangement of the novel circuit protector 10 is such that it lends itself very readily to automated assembly and thus, reduces the cost of manufacture.
Although the illustrated embodiment hereof has been described in great detail, it should be apparent that certain modifications, changes, and adaptations may be made in the illustrated embodiment, and that it is intended to cover all such modifications, changes and adaptations which come within the spirit of the present invention.
