ABSTRACT:
A safety device for electrical circuit breakers has a base member adapted to be mounted adjacent at least one and preferable a column of circuit breakers. The base member has a plurality of parallel, spaced, transverse grooves. A cover assembly is hingedly attached to one end of the base member and has a like plurality of protrusions depending therefrom, each protrusion aligned to be received in a respective groove of the base member. A plurality of locking pins, each locking pin having an elongated body portion and an integral breaker engaging head, the body portion having a plurality of spaced apart, longitudinally extending, elongated slots, are adapted to be selectively received in the grooves of the body member. The protrusions of the cover assembly are received in respective slots in the locking pins to secure the locking pins in place in the base member.
