ABSTRACT:
The device is useful for attaching and detaching an electrical meter of the type having a base secured to a glass enclosure and to one or more prongs. The prongs in turn are adapted to fit into sockets provided in a meter base having a rim provided with a flange spaced apart from the meter base. The device includes a U-shaped stabilizing member having pads mounted at the free end. The pads are accommodated in the space between the flange and the meter base. A collar is slideably connected to the stabilizing member and is adapted to releasably engage the glass enclosure. A handle is pivotally connected to the stabilizing member and two or more links pivotally interconnect the handle and the collar for causing the collar to slide relative to the stabilizing member upon pivotal movement of the handle. Such pivotal movement causes the prongs to move selectively into and out of the sockets.
