Abstract:
A fuse insertion tool comprising:a head adapted to grip a fuse device;a shaft having a first and a second end, said first end connected to said head;said shaft being movably mounted in a holder, said shaft being mounted in said holder for linear movement;a resilient biasing means between said second end of said shaft and said holder; anda shaft rotating device between said holder and said shaft for converting linear movement of said shaft to rotary motion, wherein said holder further comprises a shaft release mechanism engaging said shaft wherein when said release mechanism is engaged said shaft is held relatively stationary against linear movement in said holder, and when said release mechanism is disengaged, said shaft is released and permitted to move linearly into said holder and against said resilient biasing means;wherein said shaft release includes a trigger mechanism having a first end and a second end;said trigger mechanism being pivotally mounted on said holder between said first end and second end of the trigger mechanism; andsaid trigger mechanism being pivotally moveable between a first position where said first end of the trigger mechanism is in engagement with said shaft to immobilize said shaft, and a second position where said first end of the trigger mechanism is out of engagement with said shaft to allow such shaft to move linearly in said holder.
