Abstract:
A terminal cover for a pair of circuit breakers having line terminals, said terminal cover comprising:a substantially planar top piece lying within a first plane, the top piece having a free end and an opposing attached end;a substantially planar side piece lying within a second plane, the side piece having a free end and an opposing attached end, wherein the attached end of the top piece abuts with the attached end of the side piece and the first plane and the second plane intersect at a nonzero angle;a first notch and a second notch formed within said free end of said top piece, said first and second notches adapted for receiving a pair of electrical conductors connecting with a corresponding pair of circuit breaker electrical terminals;a enter top piece within said free end of said top piece and intermediate said notches;a pair of elongated notches formed within said free end of said side piece, said elongated notches adapted for receiving sides of a pair of adjacent circuit breakers; anda center side piece intermediate said elongated notches, said center side piece being adapted for reception in press-fit relation within a combined slot defined by slots in sides of a pair of adjacent circuit breakers;wherein the first and second notches are dimensionally larger than the pair of elongated notches.
