DEFINITION

Classification: 439/698

Receptacle for transversely receiving elongated fuselike component having contact at each end thereof:

(under subclass 660) Receptacle specifically adapted to be electrically coupled to a narrow, tube-shaped plug having a counter-contact located at each of the longitudinally spaced-apart ends thereof, the plug being intended to be moved into coupled engagement with the receptacle by pushing the plug toward the receptacle along a line perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the plug; and wherein the receptacle has two contacts which are spaced apart from one another along the coupling face thereof a distance approximately equal to the longitudinal length of the plug, so that the longitudinal length of the plug lies along a line passing through the spaced-apart contacts of the receptacle whenever the receptacle is coupled to the plug.

(1) Note. Usually, the plug adapted to be coupled to the receptacle provided herein is in the form of a cartridge-type fuse.

(2) Note. The cross-sectional shape of the tube-shaped plug may be circular, square, hexagonal, elliptical, etc.

239+, for a coupling part specially designed to receive a fluorescent or neon lamp, which coupling part is further designed for transverse receipt of a lamp contact.

249+, particularly subclass 250, for a receptacle having two

directly opposed contact arms for receiving a connector therebetween, one of the contact arms being self-aligning.

830+, for a spring-actuated resilient metallic contact, per se, for receiving an end contact of an elongated fuselike component inserted transverse to the longitudinal axis of the component.
