[0014] The accompanying drawings are included to provide a further understanding of the present disclosure, and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification. The drawings illustrate exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the present disclosure.
[0015] FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary representation of a bracket holder with lock protection element, in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0016] FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary representation of sectional view of a bracket holder, in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] The following is a detailed description of embodiments of the disclosure depicted in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments are in such detail as to clearly communicate the disclosure. However, the amount of detail offered is not intended to limit the anticipated variations of embodiments; on the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the present disclosure as defined by the appended claims.
[0018] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a bracket holder provided with a lock protection element. The bracket holder is configured to hold the brackets. The brackets are provided with an arm locking mechanism to allow proper fitment of the brackets with the bracket holder. The arm lock is prone to get damaged as it is arranged on the outer part of the fuse assembly. In addition, the arm lock may get bent in outward direction, resulting in losing the purpose of the arm lock. In order to protect the arm lock and to provide support so as not to bend in the outward direction, the bracket holder is provided with a lock protection element. The arm locking protection element acts as a stopper to provide a protection to the arm lock from external elements.
[0019] FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary representation of a bracket holder with lock protection element, in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the bracket holder 100 may be configured with an arm lock 101 to facilitate proper installation of the bracket in the bracket holder. The bracket holder may include a housing having a hollow structure covered with walls. The bracket may be configured to fit inside the hollow structure of the bracket holder. The bracket holder may include two walls configured at the outside covering at least a portion of the hollow structure. The upper arm of the two walls may be extended toward each other, thereby forming lock protection element 102. The lock protection element 102 does not allow to bend in the outside direction and provides protection against external damages.
[0020] FIG. 2 illustrates an exemplary representation of sectional view of a bracket holder in the fuse assembly, in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. The arm lock 101 may include a vertical arm configured with the bracket holder 100.
[0021] In an embodiment, the bracket holder may include a lock protection element 102 to provide protection from being damaged. The lock protection element 102 may include a horizontal member which is formed through an extension of the upper arm horizontally in the direction of arm lock as shown in FIG. 2. In an embodiment, the upper arm configured at the outer part of the bracket holder 100 may be extended through a predefined portion in a horizontal direction to form the lock protection element 102. In an embodiment, the multiple upper arms may get extended towards each other so as to form a bridge type structure, which act as a barrier or lock protection element 102.
[0022] The lock protection element 102 may act as a barrier for the arm lock, which not only prevents the vertical arm of the arm lock from bending, but also provides protection against damages occurred while assembling, transportation, and so on.
[0023] The present disclosure provides a lock protection element in the bracket holder. The lock protection element acts as a barrier to prevent bending of the arm lock in outwards direction as well as provides protection to the arm lock against external damages. In particular, the arms of the bracket holder are extended towards the arm lock covering at least a portion, thereby forming a barrier i.e. lock protection element for the arm lock.
[0024] The proposed bracket holder 100 may be used with different types of arm locks irrespective of their configuration as it overcomes any possibility of arm lock getting damaged occurred during assembling, disassembling and production.
