  • Electrical lockout lanyard and method for assembly and installation
    Patent number: 6855895
    Abstract: A lanyard that is of simple construction and is made from insulated components so as to eliminate any possibility of accidental electrical shock. The lanyard when in the off mode insures that the on/off switch of an overhead disconnect outlet box cannot be accidentally moved into the on position, and when in the on mode insures that the on/off switch remains in operating position, thus allowing for electrical current for energizing machinery, unless there is a power failure.
    Type: Grant
