ABSTRACT:
A fused plug wherein at least one wire of a line cord is connected to a prong member by means of a fuse assembly in which one end of a length of fuse wire or other fuse material is electrically connected as by soldering or crimping to a portion of the line cord wire from which the insulation has been removed, the length of fuse wire lying along the line cord wire and being secured to the insulative sheath thereof by means of a sleeve, which preferably serves to electrically connect the fuse assembly to the prong member. The sleeve may further comprise a tang for connection to the prong member, for instance, by soldering, or the sleeve may be connected to the prong member by ring clip means, or by means of a pigtail to be provided in electrical contact with the sleeve for connection to the prong member. The fuse assembly further comprises an outer insulative sheath that covers the electrical connection between the fuse wire and the line cord wire, and covers a portion of the sleeve. The outer insulative sheath is preferably made of a synthetic material that can be slipped over the line cord wire in the form of a piece of tubing and then shrunk into place by heating.
