Abstract

A cover adapted to be mounted on a watthour meter base includes a handle carried on the cover to facilitate movement of the watthour meter relative to a meter socket. The handle is generally provided as one or a pair of handles mounted on or unitarily formed with the body of the cover, the handle defining a finger grip surface. In one aspect, the handle is a pair of arms extending from the cover, with a cross piece mounted to and extending between the arms. In another aspect, an ejector handle is moveably mounted with respect to a primary handle carried on the end wall of the cover. Ejector arms coupled to the ejector handle and moveably disposed through the cover and meter base have distal ends engagable with meter mounts in the meter socket to facilitate separation of the meter from the socket upon movement of the ejector handle.
