Fuse-bearing sleeve which is inserted between the male and female members of a multiple-line connector contains a safety fuse for each pin of the connector assembly. The sleeve is easily and quickly opened for fuse replacement.
Two hermetically sealed, short travel, limit switches permit fuse replacement without danger of a spark or arcing. The switches are wired in parallel circuits and actuated by manually operated cams containing the circuit fuses.
An electric switch device is described which can be used safely even in an explosive environment. The switch has an operating arm, and a moveable actuator which is engaged by the arm and moved between a number of positions in which the arm opens or closes the switch. A fuse is slidably positioned in a passage through the actuator. The fuse can be replaced in the passage by another fuse when the actuator is in one of its many positions. The device is lightweight and compact, is capable of withstanding severe shock, and is not adversely affected by extremes of temperature.
