DEFINITION

Classification: 337/180

(under subclass 168) Subject matter including structural details of a cut out or disconnect type switch with significant emphasis on means comprising line terminals or contacts which are particularly adapted to complete the circuit through or support such a switch.

(1) Note. The terminal structure in this subclass is confined to cut out or disconnect devices utilizing fusible elements. In subclasses 187+ the housing or casing is not restricted to use with a particular type fuse device, but is adapted to support fuse devices in general and having means whereby the protected electrical circuit is connected to the contacts of the fuse device.
