ABSTRACT:
A guard (22) that prevents damage or breakage to a device, for example, an electrical switch mechanism's housing (12) and its components associated with an iron (10). The guard (22) embraces the housing (12), being securely mounted with the housing (12) to a bracket (13) in turn securely mounted to the iron (10), proximate to the front end of its handle (14). It comprises a pair of panels (23, 24) joined together by a frontal panel (28), its rear being open. Its dimensions exceed the dimensions of the device's housing (12) to assure that impact from a force applied to iron (10) in the area of the location of the housing (12) absorbs whatever impact the force may produce, rather than the housing (12) itself being directly impacted by such force and thereby be damaged or broken along with its components. A pair of spaced apertures (41, 42) is included in each of the panels (23, 24), with one in each pair being put into alignment with a corresponding one in the other panel, in the installation of guard (22) to the housing (38) and to the bracket (13). A device (17) extends through the apertures (41, 42) and holes in bracket (13) to affix guard (22) and housing (12) to the bracket (13) and iron (10).
