Sealing device for electrical meter

Abstract From the Canadian patent

The sealing device is used to interconnect a base of an electrical meter of the type having a transparent enclosure secured to the base and a flange connected to and spaced outwardly from a meter socket. The device includes concentrically disposed inner and outer bands. The inner band is provided with spaced apart limbs which straddle the base and flange and thereby interconnect them. The inner band is also provided with flaps which contact the adjacent inner wall of the outer band. The flaps permit movement of the outer band to a position in which it maintains the inner band in place but resists movement of the outer band away from such position.
