Panel door lockout

A lockout device for a door on a panel, the lockout device comprising:

• a housing having a first mounting portion adapted for securement to one side of the panel, the housing comprising a pair of movable sections, at least one of the pair of movable sections supporting at least one line engagement element;
• a flexible line having on one end thereof a second mounting portion adapted for securement to another side of the panel from the first mounting portion, the flexible line extending through at least a portion of the housing including the at least one line engagement element for selective engagement therewith;
• wherein the pair of movable sections are movable with respect to one another between an open position in which the at least one line engagement element is accessible and a closed position in which the pair of movable sections are lockable together such that the at least one line engagement element is not accessible;
• wherein the at least one line engagement element includes clamping teeth between which the flexible line extends and when the pair of movable sections are in the closed position, the clamping teeth engage the flexible line to grip the flexible line at the clamping teeth;
• and
• wherein one of the pair of movable sections includes a tab with lock openings and the other of the pair of movable section includes a slot through which the tab may pass and wherein, when the pair of movable sections are brought together to the closed position and the tab is received through the slot, a lock is placeable in one of the lock openings to prevent the separation of the pair of movable sections from one another and to restrict access to the at least one line engagement element.

• a housing having a first mounting portion adapted for securement to one side of the panel, the housing comprising a pair of movable sections, at least one of the pair of movable sections supporting at least one line engagement element;
• a flexible line having on one end thereof a second mounting portion adapted for securement to another side of the panel from the first mounting portion, the flexible line extending through at least a portion of the housing including the at least one line engagement element for selective engagement therewith;
• wherein the pair of movable sections are movable with respect to one another between an open position in which the at least one line engagement element is accessible and a closed position in which the pair of movable sections are lockable together such that the at least one line engagement element is not accessible;
• wherein the at least one line engagement element includes clamping teeth between which the flexible line extends and when the pair of movable sections are in the closed position, the clamping teeth engage the flexible line to grip the flexible line at the clamping teeth;
• wherein the pair of movable sections are hinged together on one side thereof and are moveable between the open position and the closed position in a clamshell fashion;
• and
• wherein each of the pair of movable sections have clamping teeth.
