Abstract
A spring jaw fuse clip (18) having a backup spring (22) encircling the fuse clip and bearing inwardly upon the outer surfaces of the legs (18b) of the fuse clip, the spring being attached to the fuse clip by engagement of portions (22d) thereof with horizontal (18e) notches in the edges of the fuse clip legs to prevent displacement of the spring with respect to the clip, and having a insulating fuse puller loop (20) disposed within a pair of slots (18c) open to the upper ends of the fuse clip legs for linear movement therein. A rib (20c) is provided on the fuse puller loop in the area between the fuse clip legs to prevent tilting or displacement of the fuse puller loop with respect to the fuse clip and to facilitate insertion of the fuse (8) blade therein by camming the legs (18b) outwardly to the width of the fuse blade upon being displaced to its outermost position in said clip. A portion (22b) of the backup spring ( 22) extends laterally along one leg of the fuse clip to span the open end of the slot (18c) in that leg, thereby to be engaged by the bight portion (20a) of the insulating fuse puller loop to limit outward movement of the loop with respect to the fuse clip assembly and thereby to retain the fuse puller integrally assembled therewith.
