Abstract

A mounting assembly couples a current limiting fuse to an element that defines a longitudinal axis. The mounting assembly includes a mounting member on the element; a first attachment member coupled to the mounting member in a fixed position relative to the mounting member; and a second attachment member coupleable to the current limiting fuse. The first and second attachment members are configured to be attached to one another in a plurality of discreet positions about an axis that is non-parallel to the longitudinal axis.

Claims (11)

1. A mounting assembly comprising:

a bayonet fuse assembly; and

a mounting member formed as an integral part of the bayonet fuse assembly, the mounting member being coupleable to a current limiting fuse such that, once coupled, the bayonet fuse assembly and the current limiting fuse are held in position relative to each other, wherein the mounting member comprises an attachment member that comprises a socket, the socket comprising grooves that correspond to teeth on the current limiting fuse, and the mounting member is coupleable to the current limiting fuse through the attachment member.

2. The mounting assembly of claim 1 , wherein the attachment member comprises a socket configured to hold a clamp that is sized to fit about the current limiting fuse.

3. The mounting assembly of claim 1 , wherein the teeth are integrally formed on the current limiting fuse.

4. The mounting member of claim 1 , wherein the mounting member is configured to hold the current limiting fuse in one of multiple discrete positions about an axis that is non-parallel to a longitudinal axis of the bayonet fuse assembly.

5. A system comprising:

a bayonet fuse assembly;

a current limiting fuse; and

a mounting member formed as an integral part of the bayonet fuse assembly, the mounting member being coupleable to the current limiting fuse such that, once coupled, the bayonet fuse assembly and the current limiting fuse are held in position relative to each other, wherein the mounting member comprises an attachment member that comprises a socket, the socket comprising grooves that correspond to teeth on the current limiting fuse, and the mounting member is coupleable to the current limiting fuse through the attachment member.

6. The system of claim 5 , further comprising a clamp sized to fit about the current limiting fuse to hold the current limiting fuse, the clamp configured to couple to the mounting member.
