Abstract

See full text

A hot stick of a type used by electrical lineworkers is equipped with an adaptor, which is mounted to one end of the hot stick. In one contemplated embodiment, the adaptor comprises a connector, which coacts with a connector mounted to the end of the hot stick so as to mount the adaptor to the end of the hot stick, and the adaptor comprises another connector, which is adapted to coact with a connector provided on a tool so as to connect the tool to the adaptor, and with light-emitting diodes for illuminating a tool so connected. In an alternative embodiment, the adaptor comprises a receptacle, which receives the end of the hot stick so as to mount the adaptor to the end of the hot stick, and the adaptor comprises a connector, which is adapted to coact with a connector provided on a tool so as to connect the tool to the adaptor, and with light-emitting diodes for illuminating a tool so connected. Preferably, in either such embodiment, the connectors are so-called 'universal' connectors of a type used commonly to connect any of various tools to hot sticks.
