Abstract: A device is provided for preventing accidental operation of a switch including a body having a surface with an opening and a cavity extending from the opening at an angle for receiving and releasably engaging the actuator member of a switch. With the switch in the desired on or off position, its actuator member is mounted into the cavity to engage the device, via the opening, such that the surface of the body lies adjacent the switch plate. Operation of the switch is prevented by the surface of the body providing a stop against the switch plate without physically anchoring the device to the switch plate.

Abstract: A gasket and a method for filling a wheel hub of a floating axle assembly with a lubricant. The gasket includes a sheet of a material suitable for sealing the lubricant in a cavity of the wheel hub when the gasket is mounted between the axle and wheel hub. The sheet has an inner opening and a retaining portion below the inner opening. The retaining portion is of a sufficient predetermined size to at least partially block the inner cavity of the wheel hub when the gasket is mounted to the wheel hub. The method of the present invention includes attaching the gasket to the wheel hub, filling the lower portion of the cavity of the wheel hub with a lubricant, the lubricant being held in the cavity by the retaining portion of the gasket, and assembling the axle to the wheel hub.
