A wildlife guard assembly is provided that includes two cover sections, a biasing member, and a toggle action lever mechanism. The cover sections are hinged so that the cover sections, when in a closed position, a cavity to capture a line post insulator is defined. The biasing member normally biases the cover sections to the closed position. The lever mechanism is connected to the cover sections and has an over-center position that releasably holds the two cover sections in an open position. The lever mechanism is positioned in the cavity such that, during installation on the line post insulator, the line post insulator interacts with the lever mechanism to move the lever mechanism from the over-center position to allow the biasing member and the lever mechanism to move the cover sections to the closed position.

A locking dog assembly (100) including a body (110) including inner cavity (112) with a lower opening, a first locking dog (120a) at least partially extending through a first side of the body and displaceable into and out of the inner cavity, a second locking dog (120b) at least partially extending through a second side of the body, opposite the first side, and displaceable into and out of the inner cavity, and a mechanism (132) for simultaneous displacement of the first and second locking dogs with mechanical advantage.
An apparatus for a wireless switch. In some embodiments, the wireless switch includes an input device, a radio, a memory, and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to place a mode selection indicator in an asserted state in response to a first manipulation of the input device, and to operate the wireless switch in a wireless mesh network communication mode in response to the mode selection indicator being placed in the asserted state.
