Abstract
The fuse holder contains a socket and a head member which is loosely seated in the socket by means of a quick release closure, such as a bayonet connection and can be removed along the lengthwise axis of the fuse holder.

At the head member, the closed end of which is located at the open end of the socket, there is provided a substantially U-shaped connection conductor which fixedly claws into the head member by means of retaining or holding flaps provided at a web portion of the U-shaped connection conductor. The legs of the U-shaped connection conductor extend from the web portion of the U-shaped connection conductor at an inclination inwardly at a predetermined location towards the lengthwise axis of the fuse holder to an internal contact location for a first cap member of the fuse insert or fuse. A second cap member of the fuse insert is pressed by an axial compression or pressure spring against the base contact. The legs of the U-shaped connection conductor then again extend outwardly at an inclination up to an external cont…
