ABSTRACT:
A single, molded one-piece member, having a bottom recess for receiving the levers of a plurality of switches, on which a tie bar is mounted. The member is flexed to spread the walls of the recess, and when it is released, a locking lug moves under the tie bar, holding the lock out in place. A tie wrap is placed under the tie bar and around the adjacent elements of the member locking the member in place. A first form has two such recesses, of different sizes. An alternate form has a single recess, and a cover which is closed down over the base, enclosing the tie wrap. An auxiliary lock can be used for locking the cover. A supplementary locking element may be selectively placed in the recess for accommodating switch levers of different sizes. Another form includes a thumb screw adjustment means for positively holding the locking lug under the tie bar.
