Lockout device

摘要

A lockout device includes a body, a clamp, and a cover. The body includes a recess and a first lock passage extending from a first opening in an upper surface to a second opening in a rear surface. The clamp is assembled with a clamp retaining portion of the body. The cover is connected with the body and is movable between a lockout position covering at least a portion of the clamp and a release position uncovering the clamp to permit adjustment. The cover includes first and second cutouts. When the cover is in the lockout position, the first and second cutouts align with the first and second openings of the body to permit insertion of a lock member through the first lock passage, thereby preventing movement of the cover from the lockout position to the release position.

主权项

1. A lockout device comprising:
a body having first and second laterally spaced outer side walls extending longitudinally between opposed front and rear surfaces of the body, and extending vertically between opposed upper and lower surfaces of the body, the body including a recess disposed in the lower surface of the body and extending between a front clamp retaining portion of the body and a rear clamping portion of the body, wherein the body further defines a lock passage extending longitudinally from a first opening in the upper surface of the body to a second opening in the rear surface of the body; a clamp assembled with the clamp retaining portion of the body and adjustably extendable into the recess for clamping engagement of an external structure when the external structure is inserted into the recess; and a cover including a front portion, a rear portion, and an upper portion extending between the front portion and the rear portion, the cover being connected with the body and movable between a lockout position, in which the front portion of the cover covers at least a portion of the clamp to prevent adjustment of the clamp, and a release position, in which the clamp is uncovered to permit adjustment; wherein the cover includes a first cutout in the upper portion and a second cutout in the rear portion, wherein when the cover is in the lockout position, the first cutout aligns with the first opening of the body and the second cutout aligns with the second opening of the body, to permit insertion of a lock member through the first lock passage, thereby preventing movement of the cover from the lockout position to the release position; and wherein the lock passage comprises a first lock passage, and wherein the body further defines a second lock passage extending through the clamp retaining portion and from a third opening in a first side surface of the body to a fourth opening in a second side surface of the body opposite the first side surface, and wherein the cover includes third and fourth cutouts that align with the third and fourth openings of the body when the cover is in the lockout position, to permit insertion of a lock member through the second lock passage, thereby preventing movement of the cover from the lockout position to the release position.
