  • Patent number: 7581420
    Abstract: A lockout device is provided for an instrument having a body and an actuating member extending from the body for operating the instrument. The lockout device includes a bottom member, a cover member, and a flexible member. The bottom member is adapted to be positioned over the body and includes a first holding portion and an aperture for receiving the actuating member. The cover member is connectable to the bottom member for movement between a closed position and an open position, and includes a covering portion for covering the actuating member in the closed position, and a second holding portion adapted to abut the first holding portion in the closed position. The flexible member has a first end connected to one of the bottom member and the cover member. The bottom member and cover member are adapted to receive a cinching portion of the flexible member between the first and second holding portions.

  • Publication number: 20070056339
    Abstract: In one exemplary embodiment, a combination lock includes a mechanical locking mechanism, a dial, and an electronic interface. The mechanical locking mechanism includes a locking member movable between a locked condition and an unlocked condition. The dial is assembled with the locking mechanism such that successive rotation of the dial to a series of one or more predetermined rotational positions causes the locking mechanism to move the locking member from the locked condition to the unlocked condition. The electronic interface is configured to translate incremental rotational positions of the dial to corresponding electrical signals and to process the electrical signals and display corresponding incremental positional indicators.
