Abstract
A retention device for removably carrying a leverage arm on a switchgear cabinet includes a mounting member structured to be mounted on a housing of the switchgear cabinet and a tab structured to extend outwardly from the housing. The tab is formed with an opening that slidably receives a shank of the leverage arm therein, the opening being configured to resist movement of a head of the leverage arm through the opening. A moveable cover is positioned in relation to the retention device to retain the leverage arm on the retention device when the cover is in a closed position, yet permit the leverage arm to be removed from the retention device when the cover is in an open position.
