Abstract
Apparatus for removably holding a heater element having at least one end with an electrical contact. The apparatus includes a body of heat and electrically insulating material having a first segment for releasably and solely supporting an elongated heater element by the contact end of said element and a second segment connected to and axially aligned with said first segment for mounting an electrical terminal which engages the contact at the end of a supported heater element. A third segment extends from the body for manually gripping the holder apparatus without danger of thermal hazard or contamination so that the heater element may be installed in and removed from a work station such as a heated fuser roller.
