ABSTRACT:
A circuit breaker lock-out assembly which is engageable with a circuit breaker includes a body having a top and a bottom joined by walls. The walls define a passageway extending from the body top to the body bottom. A button having one end extending into the body passageway through the body top is movable between a lock position and an unlock position. A pair of leaf springs are fixed to the button, and extend through the passageway. A nose extends from the body bottom, ant is engageable with the leaf springs. A pin extends from each of the leaf springs. Each pin is engageable with a hole formed in the circuit breaker walls adjacent the switch tongue, wherein slidable movement of the button toward at least one of the lock position and unlock position engages the leaf spring with the nose to move each pin relative to the hole.
