Patent ID: 7211749

Claim:
An electrical disconnect locking device comprising: a. two non-conductive housings joined by a housing link, each of said housings comprising: 1. a concave cavity; 2. a rotating plate disposed within said concave cavity, said rotating plate configured to rotate about 90°, and 3. a pair of female couplings, each of said pair of female couplings comprising a proximal end disposed within said concave cavity and a distal end, said proximal end of each of said pair female couplings configured to matingly contact said rotating plate and said distal end of each of said pair of female couplings configured to retain electrical wiring, b. a rotating shaft disposed longitudinally through said two non-conductive housings and through said rotating plate of each housing, said rotating shaft being connected to each rotating plate in such a manner that rotating of said rotating shaft causes the rotation of each rotating plate, said rotating shaft have a first end in the form of a first configured shape and a second end in the form of a second configured shape, and c. a key member comprising a first arm and a second arm, said first arm having a first key end provided with the female complement of said first configured shape, said second arm having a second key end provided with the female complement of said second configured shape, wherein, when connecting wires from a weather head of a dwelling are introduced and retained within said distal ends of said female couplings, the flow of electrical current can be discontinued by rotating said rotating plate disposed within each of said housings away from said proximal ends of said female couplings and into contact with said two housing stops.
