DEFINITION

Classification: 337/172

(under subclass 171) Subject matter including specifically recited structure by means of which the fuse assembly is caused to assume its final or dropped out position as a result of a combination of mechanical motions; for example, pivotal motion followed by longitudinal sliding movement.
