ABSTRACT:
An integral plastic fuseholder for receiving portions of a pair of in-line electrical conductors which may be connected to a non-fused electrical adapter plug. One conductor of the pair is severed within the holder to form an open connection until the connection is completed by a flat-blade insertion fuse. A pair of female electrical terminals is located within the fuseholder with each terminal connected to a different end of the severed conductor. The fuseholder has a foldable clam-shell housing formed by a pair of foldable cover sections which are joined by a centrally disposed hinge section. The housing is opened to receive the in-line electrical conductor pair, or alternatively is folded to a closed position to retain the in-line conductor pair and to create a partially enclosed cavity which forms a fuse-insert access opening opposite the hinge section. Any inserted fuse is connected in series with the conductor terminals to complete a fused conductor connection to an adapter plug through the fuseholder. A removable cap is provided to close the fuse-insert access opening.
