Abstract: A shield member for attachment to a conventional insulative line stick as used by power linesmen and other electrical staff working on high voltage distribution lines protects the user of a line stick when closing cut-out assembly doors and engaging in similar activities. The shield member protects against the ejection of fuses or the blowing out or explosion of fuses. The shield member, in the form of a plate, clips onto the line stick, for example, by spring clip members attached to one arm of a bracket, another arm of the bracket being attached to the shield member.
