LOCKOUT DEVICE
The lockout device (see Fig.
22)
consists of the
.me mechanism as the bell alarm device except
that a screw (18) secures the hanger (11)
to latch
(12).
This causes these two parts to function as a
unit.
Whenever the breaker is o.pened 9\!e to an
overcurrent, the trip paddle (10) w'ill be held in
the tripped position by the lever
(7),
thereby lock-
ing the breaker in the open pOsition until the lock-
out mechanism is reset by means of the reset
lever (3).
