DESC:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to electrical devices in vehicles. In particular, the present disclosure pertains to lock protection elements in fuse box holders to provide lock protection.

BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] As known in the art, a lot of fuses are employed in a fuse box assembly particularly in the fuse box, of a vehicle. The parts of the vehicle on-board power system are protected by the fuse box. In order to protect individual loads, fuses may be disposed in various parts, for example in the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The fuses are generally configured in the fuse holders.
[0004] The fuse holder is coupled with a fuse cover at the upper portion of the fuse. While maintenance it is necessary to disassemble and assemble it again with the fuse holder. The fuse holders arranged in a cabin compartment of the vehicle and below the instrument panel/dashboard, are not visible from the driver & co-driver seating position. Therefore, the fuse cover is difficult to disassemble and assemble with the fuse holder in absence of visibility of the fuse cover.
[0005] In addition, the fuse cover is generally locked with the fuse holder through a projection. When the fuse holder along with the fuse cover is connected or disconnected with components in the fuse box assembly, a latch through which the fuse cover coupled with the fuse may get damaged.
[0006] Therefore, there is a requirement of an improved fuse holder that can overcome aforementioned problems and challenges in the art.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0022] 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.
[0023] FIGs. 1A and 1B illustrate exemplary representations of a fuse holder provided with lock protection elements, in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] 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.
[0025] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a fuse holder provided with lock protection element. The fuse holder is covered with a fuse-cover configured at an upper portion of the fuse holder. The fuse cover is locked with the fuse holder through a latch comprising a projection configured at the edge of the upper surface of the fuse cover. During the maintenance of the fuse cover, the fuse cover needs to be disassembled and assembled again with the fuse holder. However, due to invisibility of fuse cover, it gets difficult to disassemble and assemble the fuse cover. In addition, the fuse holder is coupled with other elements of the fuse box. During connection and disconnection of the fuse holder, the projection for covering/locking the fuse holder with the fuse cover, gets damaged. Therefore, the fuse holder is provided with a lock protection element at a vertex corresponding to the edge of the upper surface of the fuse cover where the projection for locking mechanism is configured.
[0026] FIGs. 1A and 1B illustrate exemplary representations of a fuse holder provided with a lock protection element, in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the fuse holder 100 is configured to hold the fuse in a fuse box assembly. The fuse holder 100 may be coupled with a fuse cover through a latch including one or more projections 101-1 and 101-2 (collectively termed as projections 101 and individually referred to as projection 101) on edges 102 on an upper surface of the fuse holder. The one or more projections 101 may be provided for a locking mechanism to lock a fuse holder 100 with a fuse cover. As shown in FIG. 1, there are two projections configured at the edge 102 of the upper surface of the fuse holder. However, it would be appreciated by a person skilled in the art that any number of the projections can be configured at the edge 102 of the upper surface of the fuse holder 100.
[0027] In an embodiment, the fuse holder 100 may include lock protection elements 103-1 and 103-2 (collectively termed as lock protection elements 101 and individually referred to as lock protection element 101) at corresponding vertex of the edge of the fuse holder where the one or more projections 101 of the latches are configured. As shown in FIG. 1, a lock protection element 103-1 may be configured to protect the projection 101-1, whereas the lock protection element 103-2 may be configured to protect the projection 101-2.
[0028] In an embodiment, the lock protection element 103 may include a protrusion being formed through an extension of an edge 104 adjacent to the edge 102 at which the projections 101 are configured. The edge 104 is extended outside to a particular extent such that it covers the projection from one side. The distance between the projection and the protrusion is sufficient enough to accommodate snap of latch, being attached to the fuse cover, to allow locking between the fuse cover and the fuse holder. The protrusion of the lock protection element 103 provides protection to the projections when the fuse holder gets connected and disconnected with various components of the fuse base assembly.
[0029] FIG. 1B illustrates a fuse holder with a fuse cover 200 to cover the upper surface of the fuse holder 100. The fuse cover 200 may be coupled with the upper portion of the fuse cover through a latch. The latch includes snaps 201-1 and 201-2 (collectively referred to as snaps 201 and individually referred to as snap 201) attached to the fuse cover 200; and the projection 101 configured at the upper body of the fuse holder 100. The fuse cover needs to be disassembled and assembled with the fuse holder during maintenance of the fuse holder. The fuse holders arranged in cabin compartment of vehicle and it is below the instrument panel/dash board, are not visible from the driver and co-driver seating position. The lock protection element 103 of the proposed fuse holder may guide the user to access the latch or lock to disassemble and assemble the fuse cover with the fuse holder. Therefore, with the lock protection element, the fuse cover can be disassembled and assembled with the fuse holder even in absence of visibility of the fuse cover.
[0030] Thus, the present disclosure provides a lock protection element in the fuse holder. The lock protection element not only provides protection to the projection from getting damaged but also guides the user to disassemble and assemble the fuse cover with the fuse holder.
[0031] The proposed fuse holder 100 may be used with different types of projections irrespective of their configuration as it overcomes any possibility of projection getting damaged and creating hindrance in access to lock/latch of the fuse cover. This can result in reduction in variety with corresponding cost benefits.
[0032] While the foregoing describes various embodiments of the invention, other and further embodiments of the invention may be devised without departing from the basic scope thereof. The scope of the invention is determined by the claims that follow. The invention is not limited to the described embodiments, versions or examples, which are included to enable a person having ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention when combined with information and knowledge available to the person having ordinary skill in the art.
