Title: Improvements relating to Casings for Electric Switches and Fuses.
Inventor: HEADLEY FREDERICK HAGGER
Filed: 1905-02-17
Granted: 1905-11-30
Abstract: 3372. Headley, F. H. Feb. 17. Man-hole and hand-hole doors.-Locking-devices for the cases of electric switches &c. consist of pairs of interlocking circular rollers notched in such a way that the turning of one prevents the turning of the other, so that one compartment only can be opened at once. The casing a is provided with lids f pivoted back to back at g and provided with interlocking rolls h, Fig. 3. Each roll consists of a cylinder notched out with an inward curvature corresponding to the circumference of the adjacent notched roll. When the two lids are closed, the notches face one another, but when one lid is opened, one of the rolls is turned to enter the notch i, Fig. 4, in the other roll, preventing the opening of the other lid. The lid l is pivoted in lugs m, so that, when the lid l turns in the lugs, its rear edge rises above the lids f, making it impossible to open them while the other lid is open. The invention may be extended to the locking of a number of lids of any kind in which the turning of one part must prevent the turning of a number of other parts. According to the Provisional Specification, the lids may be connected by rods and cranks, gearing, or the like to the interlocking rolls.
