POSITION LOCK FOR ELECTRICAL CONTROL DEVICES

摘要

Position locks for electrical control devices are described. One embodiment includes a lock that is retrofitted onto existing electrical control devices. The lock has a mounting member that is attached to both the electrical control device and a pivoting member that can swing over the handle of the electrical control device. When the shackle of a padlock is used to secure the pivoting member in place, the handle of the electrical control device cannot be turned or pushed in, preventing accidental closing of the circuit. Also described is a lock that is created from a tube that has a slit in the side that allows the lock to be slid around the handle of the electrical control device and apertures for receiving the shackle of a padlock to secure the lock in place, thereby preventing accidental closing of the circuit.
