Abstract
A safety cover and identifier to cover wire terminals in an electric terminal block. The cover/identifier comprises a body comprising dielectric material having a first leg and an opposed, spaced apart second leg The two legs are joined adjacent their midpoints by an integral, resilient spring element. The opposed proximal ends of the legs each have a terminal covering surface and define serrated jaws. The jaws are opened by compression of the distal ends of the legs. The jaws are attached to the electrical terminal block to cover wire connections and each of the proximal ends covers one of a functional pair of wire connectors. The resilient spring element biases the jaws toward each other to secure the cover in place. The device can include stops or a stop gap in the spring to delimit opening of the jaws. The cover/identifier includes indicia to identify aspects of the wires attached to the cover wire connectors.
