Patent attributes
An electrical lineman's pole having a top end and a bottom end. A post extends laterally from the pole proximate its top end. A slot receptacle is provided proximate the post. The slot receptacle has an open top that faces the post and extends in a line perpendicular to the post. To utilize the lineman's pole, the top end is brought into contact with a swinging conductive arm of a protective cutout device. The post extending from the pole is passed through the loop on the swinging conductive arm. A portion of the loop is positioned into the slot receptacle. A lineman pushes on the pole assembly to rotate the swinging conductive arm. The portion of the loop in the slot receptacle prevents the swinging conductive arm from rotating out of a selected plane. Consequently, the cutout protective device does not turn from side to side.
