Clamped Fuse Module for Fastener-Free Pre-Fuse Box Installation

The patent replaces conventional mechanical fasteners (nuts, bolts) with a spring-loaded clamp mechanism. The spring element provides automatic clamping force when the fuse is inserted, securing it reliably without requiring threaded fasteners. This substitution eliminates the need for complex mechanical assembly and disassembly operations, thereby reducing installation and removal time while maintaining secure fuse attachment.

The spring-loaded clamp mechanism automatically engages and secures the fuse upon insertion, without requiring manual operation of fasteners. The spring element self-adjusts to apply clamping force, and the fuse can be removed simply by withdrawing it, allowing the clamp to reset. This self-service mechanism eliminates the need for operators to manually tighten or loosen mechanical fasteners, significantly reducing installation and removal time.

The patent replaces complex mechanical fastener systems with a simpler spring-loaded clamp mechanism. Instead of requiring multiple components (nuts, bolts, washers, threaded holes, alignment features), the spring clamp uses a single actuating element that automatically engages with the fuse. This substitution reduces the number of parts and assembly steps, thereby reducing device complexity while maintaining secure electrical connections through reliable mechanical contact.

The spring-loaded clamp mechanism automatically performs the securing function upon fuse insertion, eliminating the need for manual operation of complex fastening mechanisms. The spring element self-adjusts to apply appropriate clamping force, and the electrical connection is established automatically. This self-service approach simplifies the overall system by eliminating the need for operators to manipulate complex mechanical fasteners, thereby reducing device complexity.
