Abstract
A cover for temporarily covering a switch positioned within an electrical housing includes a panel section that can be removably attached to the electrical housing, and a casing shaped and sized to cover and contact the switch. The casing is mounted on the panel for a predetermined range of sliding movement relative to the panel, such that sliding of the casing imparts movement of the switch. As such, the electrical switch can be turned “on” and “off” without removing the cover.
