FUSING AND SWITCHING MEANS AND CIRCUIT MEANS CONTROLLED THEREBY

A housing having a pair of spaced first and second contact members for respectively being interconnected in a desired electric circuit whereby the electrical circuit will not be completed unless the contact members are electrically interconnected together. A manually movable fuse member is carried by the housing and has one operating position relative to the housing where the fuse member makes electrical contact between the contact members and through the fuse part thereof so that the circuit will not only be completed by the fuse member, but also the circuit will be fused by the fused member. The fuse member when moved to another operating position thereof relative to the housing will break electrical contact between the contact members to open the circuit whereby the fuse member also acts as a manually operable switch for the electrical circuit.
