Lockout for pendant control or other terminally-positioned structure on a cord

A lockout device for a pendant control or other terminally-positioned structure on a cord, the lockout device comprising:

• a plurality of rigid panels;
• and
• a flexible body extending along an insertion axis with a selectively closeable opening on one end thereof, the flexible body having the plurality of rigid panels affixed to sidewalls of the flexible body with the plurality of rigid panels being positioned about the insertion axis;
• wherein, when the selectively closeable opening is opened, the flexible body and the plurality of rigid panels collectively define an interior volume for reception of the pendant control or other terminally-positioned electrical structure through the selectively closeable opening and, when the selectively closeable opening is closed around the cord from which the pendant control or other terminally-positioned electrical structure extends, the pendant control or other terminally-positioned electrical structure is secured in the interior volume and use of the pendant control or other terminally-positioned electrical structure is inhibited by the plurality of rigid panels of the lockout device.
