Abstract: A multicable lockout device comprises a housing including at least two cable end securement points, a stationary cleat fixed relative to the housing, and at least two rotatable cleats attached to the housing. Each of the rotatable cleats is positioned adjacent to the stationary cleat with a respective cable-receiving pathway being defined between the shared stationary cleat and each of the respective rotatable cleats. The respective rotatable cleats each have a tip biased towards the shared stationary cleat to facilitate one-way gripping action of a cable along the respective cable-receiving pathway. This structure permits two cable loops to be independently formed utilizing only three cleats for gripping the cables.

Abstract: A handle lockout device can be placed around a handle of a valve to prevent operation of the handle by rotation of the handle about a stem. The handle lockout device includes a housing and one or more adjustable slides. The housing has an internal cavity, in which the housing is bifurcated into two halves at a parting line with a stem opening positioned on the housing along the parting line. The two halves are movable relative to one another between an opened position in which the two halves are separated at the parting line to provide access to the internal cavity and a closed position in which the two halves are bought together at the parting line. The adjustable slide(s) are positioned adjacent to the stem opening, are slidable relative to the housing, and have an edge that can alter a size of the stem opening of the housing.

Abstract: A clamping cable lockout device includes a pair of clamp jaws that are supported by a body and an arm movable relative thereto. A jaw release permits a one-way ratcheting of the arm relative to the body to reduce the distance between the jaws unless the jaw release is actuated to a release position. The device also has a cable having an end secured to the body and a free end. A cable securing mechanism is supported by the body and has a lockable cover selectively permitting access thereto such that, when the cable securing mechanism receives the free end of the cable and the cover is closed, a closed loop by the cable which can only be made smaller. The lockable cover has a blocking arm that, when lockable cover is in the closed position, prevents actuation of the jaw release to the release position.

Abstract: A lockout device is able to secure a door on a panel. The lockout device includes a housing and a flexible line. The housing has a first mounting portion adapted for securement to one side of the panel and the flexible line has on one end thereof a second mounting portion adapted for securement to another side of the panel from the first mounting portion. The housing further supports at least one line engagement element, and the flexible line extends through at least a portion of the housing including the at least one line engagement element for selective engagement therewith. In use, the mounting portions may be affixed or attached to opposing sides or edges of the panel, the flexible line drawn taut, and the line engagement element(s) of the housing used to engage the flexible line to hold it in position with respect to the housing.

Abstract: A valve handle lockout device is configured to temporarily lock out a pull handle butterfly valve. The device includes an enclosure body, at least one lock hole, and a blocking wall. The enclosure body includes first and second enclosure portions having an opening at a proximal end of the enclosure body that is dimensioned to surround a base of the pull handle butterfly valve. The lock hole is configured to receive a locking member and thereby secure the device in a closed position on a handle of the pull handle butterfly valve. The blocking wall borders or is near to the opening and is configured to engage the pull handle butterfly valve when the enclosure body is secured in a locked position, thereby preventing removal of the device from the handle and the handle from being operated.

Abstract: A cable lockout device includes a housing receiving a cable in which the cable forms a loop external to the housing. The housing has a passageway extending therethrough through which the cable extends and has a cable gripping location positioned along the passageway. The cable lockout device further includes a locking arm rotationally coupled to the housing that actuates a cleat or cam spaced from the axis of the locking arm, which cleat or cam can be brought towards another cleat or cam in the cable gripping location (upon closure) or away from the other cleat or cam (upon opening). In a closed position of the locking arm, the locking arm is lockable relative to the body to prevent movement of the locking arm back to the opened position without first unlocking the locking arm relative to the body.

Abstract: A group lock box includes a box body and a door in which the door is shaped to have a recess that extends into an internal volume of the box body. The recess permits unique user locks that secure the door to the body to be partially received in the recess, which can make the locks not project as much from the outside of the box, thereby placing the locks closer to the center of gravity of the box. Among other things, this can make carrying the box with locks attached less unwieldy and can slim the overall profile of the group lock box with locks attached.

Abstract: A multipurpose step stool includes two substantially parallel, congruent, triangular side support members. The triangular side support members each include first, second, and third resting edges adapted to contact a supporting surface such as a floor. The first treads are oriented parallel to the first resting edges, the second treads are oriented parallel to the second resting edges, and the platform is oriented parallel to the third resting edges.
