  • Patent number: 7883301
    Abstract: An electrical safety device for use within an electrical circuit panel box and other electrical cabinetry is constructed of a tubular, transparent sleeve having a first and a second end. One end has a removable cap and the other end is provided with a means for attaching the sleeve to the interior wall surface of the electrical panel box or other electrical cabinetry. The safety device functions to catch the metallic waste material that is generated when the wall of the panel box or cabinetry is drilled to add other conduits to the panel box so that it does not penetrate any of the electrical components or wiring within the panel box. The safety device also functions to isolate the drill bit from contact with the components within the panel box. The removable cap facilitates emptying of the sleeve after use.
