Abstract

This service plug ( 1 ) has a connection terminal part ( 49 ), and the connection terminal part ( 49 ) has a pair of terminals ( 8 ) and an interlinking part ( 9 ) that is tailored to the spacing between the terminals ( 8 ) and joins the terminals ( 8 ) together. By removing the connection terminal part ( 49 ) from a power-supply circuit, the power-supply circuit is interrupted. The interlinking part ( 9 ) includes one or more thin interlinking plates ( 20 ) that are removably attached to the connection terminal part ( 49 ).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A service plug for interrupting a power supply circuit by removing a connection terminal part from the power supply circuit, the service plug comprising:
a housing body having an open end and a terminal chamber receiving the connection terminal part through the open end;
a cover fitted to the housing body such that the cover covers the open end and abuts the connection terminal part;
wherein the connection terminal part comprises a pair of terminals and an interlinking part,
wherein the pair of terminals are disposed to be spaced at a predetermined distance therebetween;
wherein the interlinking part that is formed so as match with the distance between the pair of terminals to interlink the terminals to each other;
wherein the interlinking part is formed from one interlinking plate or a plurality of interlinking plates each shaped into a thin plate; and
wherein the interlinking plate or the interlinking plates are attached to the connection terminal part removably.

2. The service plug according to claim 1 , wherein the one interlinking plate or the plurality of interlinking plates are attached to the pair of terminals removably.

3. The service plug according to claim 2 , wherein bolt fastening holes for inserting bolts therein are formed in the interlinking plate or each of the interlinking plates; and
