Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
120 words
A method of mounting fuse holding clips for a fuse holder on a circuit board by an automatic part inserter which inserts mounting legs of said fuse holding clips into respective mounting holes in a circuit board, said fuse holding clips each having a stop provided on a clip body of said fuse holding clips so that a cartridge fuse held by said fuse holder is never axially removed therefrom out thereof, said method being characterized by comprising a step of inserting a fuse holding clip by the automatic inserter while a direction detector provided on said fuse holding clip extends through a detection hole in said circuit board if said fuse holding clips are inserted in a correct direction.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
120 words
A method of mounting fuse holding clips for a fuse holder on a circuit board by an automatic part inserter which inserts mounting legs of said fuse holding clips into respective mounting holes in a circuit board, said fuse holding clips each having a stop provided on a clip body of said fuse holding clips so that a cartridge fuse held by said fuse holder is never axially removed therefrom out thereof, said method being characterized by comprising a step of inserting a fuse holding clip by the automatic inserter while a direction detector provided on said fuse holding clip extends through a detection hole in said circuit board if said fuse holding clips are inserted in a correct direction.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
A method of mounting fuse holding clips for a fuse holder as set forth in claim 1, and wherein said direction detector is in the form of short leg.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
43 words
A method of mounting fuse holding clips for a fuse holder as set forth in claim 2, and wherein said direction detector in the form of short leg is set so as to be biased relative to a line bonding said mounting legs.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
53 words
A method of mounting fuse holding clips for a fuse holder as set forth in any of claims 1 through 3, and wherein said fuse clips are provided by cutting a fuse holding clip assembly in the form of tape which has a plurality of fuse holding clips assembled in a spaced manner.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
81 words
A fuse holding clip for a fuse holder comprising a resilient fuse holding clip body including a generally U-shaped curved piece and mounting legs integrally provided on said curved piece to extend through mounting holes in a circuit board, said fuse holding clip characterized by comprising a direction detector provided on said clip body so as to extend through a detection hole in said circuit board if said fuse holding clip is mounted on said circuit board in a correct direction.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
81 words
A fuse holding clip for a fuse holder comprising a resilient fuse holding clip body including a generally U-shaped curved piece and mounting legs integrally provided on said curved piece to extend through mounting holes in a circuit board, said fuse holding clip characterized by comprising a direction detector provided on said clip body so as to extend through a detection hole in said circuit board if said fuse holding clip is mounted on said circuit board in a correct direction.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
26 words
A fuse holding clip for a fuse holder as set forth in claim 5, and wherein said direction detector is in the form of short leg.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
40 words
A fuse holding clip for a fuse holder as set forth in claim 6, and wherein said direction detector in the form of short leg is set so as to be biased relative to a line bonding said mounting legs.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
103 words
A fuse holding clip assembly in the form of tape which has a plurality of fuse holding clips assembled in a spaced manner, and each of said fuse holding clips comprising a resilient fuse holding clip body including a generally U-shaped curved piece and mounting legs integrally provided on said curved piece to extend through mounting holes in a circuit board, said fuse holding clip characterized by comprising a direction detector provided on said clip body so as to extend through a detection hole in said circuit board if said fuse holding clip is mounted on said circuit board in a correct direction.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
103 words
A fuse holding clip assembly in the form of tape which has a plurality of fuse holding clips assembled in a spaced manner, and each of said fuse holding clips comprising a resilient fuse holding clip body including a generally U-shaped curved piece and mounting legs integrally provided on said curved piece to extend through mounting holes in a circuit board, said fuse holding clip characterized by comprising a direction detector provided on said clip body so as to extend through a detection hole in said circuit board if said fuse holding clip is mounted on said circuit board in a correct direction.
