The blown fuse indicator is mounted to one of the opposed ferrules of a fuse and ejects a streamer therefrom in response to a blown or open fuse condition. The streamer is a strip of vinyl which is secured at one end to a plunger held within a housing mounted on one of the ferrules, and at its other end to a container which is ejected from the housing by the plunger in response to a fuse opening whereby the streamer unfurls to indicate the fuse is blown and open.

Why it's free to use
- Filed November 22, 1990. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended November 22, 2010.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 22, 2012.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
