ABSTRACT:
A locking cover for the ends of an electric meter retaining ring comprising a housing for assembly over the ends. The housing has an internal bracket with apertures aligned with a side aperture in the housing and positioned to be aligned with apertures in the outturned ends of the retaining ring to receive a locking member.
The internal bracket retains the housing in position on the meter ring and prevents axial movement of the locking member and is so positioned that the outer end of the locking member when assembled, is spaced at or inside of the outer surface of the housing wall. A collar is assembled into the side aperture and extends outwardly therefrom. The collar is provided with apertures to allow a seal to be assembled across the collar over the end of the locking member disposed therein so that the seal must be broken to remove the locking member, and will provide evidence of attempts to remove the locking cover.
