Patent ID: 8415574

Claim:
A multi pole handle lock for securing at least two adjacent circuit breaker handles of at least two circuit breakers in a same position comprising: a base plate and a movable locking plate assembly that can be selectively disposed in a locked position, wherein the assembly is adapted to mount on the at least two circuit breakers and restrict the at least two adjacent circuit breaker handles from moving between an on and off position, the at least two adjacent circuit breaker handles being independent of each other; and a handle restrictor plate adapted to receive the at least two adjacent circuit breaker handles each set in the same position and adapted to allow each of the at least two adjacent circuit breaker handles to move from an on position to a tripped position independent of each other, the handle restrictor plate mounted to a planar portion of said base plate, the planar portion layered between the handle restrictor plate and top switch plates of the circuit breakers for translational movement on said base plate, wherein the planar portion of said base plate is parallel to and lies along the top switch plates, the handle restrictor plate having at least two same position handle receiving windows.
