ABSTRACT:
A fusible link has two generally oval members in overlying relationship, the two members having relatively flat surfaces confronting one another. One member has a quadrangular slot therein having tapered surfaces and the second member has a quadrangular projection having beveled sides complementing the tapered surfaces. The projection is accommodated in the slot and seats on the tapered surfaces of the latter to provide a space between the confront surfaces. The space is filled with a eutectic alloy which secures the members together. Pins on the members maintain the thickness of the space uniform. When the alloy is heated to a predetermined temperature it melts, thereby enabling the members to separate.
