Abstract
A holder for a fuse or the like of the type which is insertable into a hole in a mounting plate and fastened to the mounting plate comprises an elongate housing dimensioned to be axially inserted in the hole in the mounting plate and having at one end a flange portion which abuts the mounting plate upon full insertion of the housing in the hole. A resiliently deformable sleeve is mounted on the housing adjacent the flange portion and the sleeve has an outer diameter slightly greater than that of the mounting plate hole. During insertion of the housing in the mounting plate hole, the sleeve makes sliding contact with the wall of the hole thereby causing inward deformation of the sleeve to an extent sufficient to cause the sleeve to exert radially outward pressure against the wall of the hole to thereby frictionally fasten the holder to the mounting plate. The sleeve has sufficient resilience to enable it to be radially inwardly compressed in response to insertion of the housing in the mounting plate hole so that the holder can be quickly fastened to the mounting plate by simply inserting the holder housing in the mounting plate hole.
