Patent ID: 7721626

Claim:
A fuse puller, comprising: a base component having a body; a first holding portion extending in a first direction away from the body of the base component, the first direction being orthogonal relative to the body of the base component, wherein the first holding portion is configured to hold a first fuse and comprises: first and second arms extending in a substantially parallel manner from the body of the base component, each of the first and second arms having an end face located at an end of a longitudinal axis thereof, the end faces of the first and second arms being orthogonal relative to the longitudinal axis of the first and second arms, and; first and second engaging portions extending away from an inner face of the first and second arms and toward the other arm of the first holding portion, the first and second engaging portions being located intermediate the end face of each respective arm and the body of the base component relative to the longitudinal axis; a gripping portion; and a second holding portion extending away from the body of the base component and configures to hold a second fuse, wherein the second holding portion comprises: first and second arms extending in a substantially parallel manner from the body of the base component, each of the first and second arms having an end face located at an end of a longitudinal axis thereof, the end faces of the first and second arms being orthogonal relative to the longitudinal axis of the first and second arms, and; first and second engaging portions extending away from an inner face of the first and second arms and toward the other arm of the second holding portion, the first and second engaging portions being located intermediate the end face of each respective arm and the body of the base component relative to the longitudinal axis, wherein at least one of a width and a height of the first and second engaging portions of the second holding portion is smaller than at least one of a width and a height of the first and second engaging portions of the first holding portion, and wherein a holding force with which the second fuse is held by the first and second engaging portions of the second holding portion is less than a holding force with which the first fuse is held by the first and second engaging portions of the first holding portion.
