Abstract:
1. A fusible link comprising: a first member having a first portion and a second portion, the second portion having an attachment feature defining an opening having opposing top and bottom edges that are connected by first and second lateral edges; a second member having a portion that extends through the opening of the first member; a connection member having a first side and a second side, the connection member removably coupling the first member to the second member based on a condition experienced by a thermally responsive material disposed within connection member; a first stop member arranged on a first planar surface of the second member and bearing against the first side of the connection member; and a second stop member arranged on a second planar surface of the second member and bearing against the first member just proximate the bottom edge of the opening, such that when the link is assembled, first stop member and second stop member generally restrict lateral movement of connection member until the thermally responsive material exceeds a threshold temperature.
