ABSTRACT:
A fuse box assembly including a fuse box and a fuse holder. The fuse holder has a saddle configuration and overlies one of the terminal sockets of the fuse box. The fuse holder includes an opening to receive the body of a fuse and the fuse holder is mounted on the fuse box for movement between an operative position in which the terminal tabs of the fuse are received in the associated terminal socket of the fuse box and a raised, inoperative position in which the terminal tabs of the fuse are removed from the terminal socket. The holder includes a pair of legs which extend downwardly along opposite side walls of the fuse box and which include slots which coact with pins on the side walls of the fuse box to provide a detenting action to positively maintain the holder in its raised, inoperative position. The holder serves to readily identify those fuses which must be moved to an inoperative position to avoid draining the associated energy source during periods of non-use of the associated electrical system; maintains the displaced fuse in a known position during the periods of non-use; and allows the fuse to be readily reinserted into the terminal socket of the fuse box at the conclusion of the period of non-use.
