Patent attributes
A conductor connector guard adapted for enclosing or housing one-to-many junctions between separable connectors. The guard is configured to house separable connectors for 3-channel, 5-channel, or 7-channel power distribution, with some of the embodiments presented being configured to house five pairs of separable connectors, with the connectors taking the form of single-pole conductor connectors in some cases. The guard is designed to comply with safety requirements for power distribution junctions that may be positioned within a public space. The guard is configured to provide a compact solution when contrasted with prior configurations involving physical barriers around power distribution junctions or involving physical objects such as trash cannisters and planters being placed over junctions. The guard is also adapted to provide enhanced public safety for spliced or joined conductors and to sequester energy sources in public spaces such as with a lock and tag out-type device.
