Abstract:
A pivoting lockout member 12 that is mounted to a pair of hinge members 14, 16 installed onto a control switch 18. Each of the hinge members includes a planar flange (30) having a hole (32) formed therethrough that is dimensioned to accept the face plate screw 22 of the control switch. The lockout member has a pair of hinge arms (40, 42) that are connected together and spaced apart by a central U-shaped member 48. A pair of lock flanges (54, 56) extend at right angles to the U-shaped member and have holes (58, 60) formed therethrough that are aligned with each other to accept a conventional padlock (66). The locking member is moved between an unlocked position where the control switch handle 26 is free to move, and a locked position where the U-shaped member captures the handle and prevent it from being operated.
Abstract:
A device and method for securing an orifice flowmeter and preventing unauthorized access to the flowmeter while in service is disclosed. The security device includes a housing having a top surface, a bottom surface, a closed end, an open end, a front surface, and a back surface forming a cavity. Through bores extend coaxially through the top surface and the bottom surface proximate the open end. Some embodiments include protrusions coupled to the interior of cavity. The protrusions together with the back surface of the housing are configured to surround exposed portions of the flowmeter, such that the addition of a shackle portion of a locking device through the through bores will prevent removal of the security device from the flowmeter and subsequently prevent access to the flowmeter.
Abstract:
A handle-equipped lock. The lock comprises a latch bolt (1), a lock housing (2), and a release mechanism (3) inside the lock housing. The handle includes a handgrip (4a), a spindle sleeve (4b) contiguous with the handgrip, and a polygonal shaped spindle (5), which has a part of its length inside the spindle sleeve (4b) and which is dimensioned to extend to an engagement with the lock's release mechanism (3). The shaped spindle (5), or a part thereof, is adapted to be manipulated inside the spindle sleeve (4b) between an unlocking position and a locking position. In the unlocking position, the shaped spindle extends to the lock's release mechanism (3) and in the locking position it does not extend. The shaped spindle (5) and the spindle sleeve (4b) are provided with locking means (6, 7, 8) for securing the same relative to each other in said locking position, wherein manipulation of the shaped spindle (5) is prevented. Alternatively, a continuous shaped spindle extends through the lock and the handle is capable of being manipulated relative to the shaped spindle between an unlocking position and a locking position.
Abstract:
A device for securing closed a drawer (20) of a dresser (10), cabinet or desk. The device includes a base member (36) that is secured to an interior surface (Hi) of the frame of the dresser (10), which cannot be accessed when the drawer (20) is closed within the drawer opening of the frame, and an extending member (50). The extending member (50) has a first end portion (51) that attaches releasably to the base member (36), and a second end portion (52) that extends exteriorly through the drawer opening and between the drawer (20) and the frame. The second end portion (52) includes a plurality of lock engaging elements (53) which cooperate with a lock member (57) for preventing the drawer, when closed, from opening within the drawer opening. The device is not built into or integral with the drawer (20) or the frame of the dresser (10).
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to a lock hasp apparatus (100) comprises of a left mounting hasp (150) and a right mounting hasp (150) which are identical in physical structure and position of said left mounting hasp (150) and said right mounting hasp (150) can be interchanged. Each of said mounting hasp (150) comprises of a mounting plate member (110) and a pivot plate member (120) whereby said pivot plate member (120) can be pivoted to its closed-position of said mounting hasp (150) to limit unauthorized person from easily broken said lock hasp (100) and therefore to prevent trespasser from easily access to private premises.
Abstract:
A system for monitoring a lockout condition of a component includes a lockout device, a lock unit, and a reader. The lockout device is moveable between a lockout condition blocking operation of the component and an access condition permitting operation of the component. The lock unit is configured to be secured to a lockout interface of the lockout device to secure the lockout device in the lockout condition. One of the lockout device and the lock unit includes a communication module configured to communicate a data signal including an identification code identifying the one of the lockout device and the lock unit. The reader is remote from the one of the lockout device and the lock unit, and is configured to receive the data signal at least when the lockout device is assembled with the component and the lock unit is secured to the lockout interface of the lockout device.
Abstract:
A door locking assembly for securing at least one door. The assembly includes first and second locking plates. The first plate includes distal, intermediate and proximal portions. The intermediate portion has a shoulder defining at least one access hole and at least one tab defining at least one lock mounting hole. The access and lock mounting holes are co-axial. The proximal portion includes a first hasp. The second plate includes a second hasp. The assembly may include a lock having a body defining a recess in a rear face, a key cylinder, and a shackle pin movable at least partially within the recess between locked and unlocked positions. The recess is adapted to receive the first and second hasps when the first and second locking plates are aligned such that the shackle pin passes through the first and second hasps when in the locked position.
Abstract:
Disclosed are embodiments of apparatus, methods, and systems for securing electronic articles, such as computers, for theft deterrence or prevention. In one embodiment, a body is provided, which is secured to an intermediary structure. The intermediary structure is, in turn, secured to the electronic article. The body may be configured as a mass such that it is of sufficient weight, shape, and/or size to allow for deterring theft. In some embodiments, the system is configured to render inaccessible, or at least impede access to, at least one piece of fastening hardware between the intermediary structure and the body and/or between the intermediary structure and the electronic article, thereby further deterring theft.
Abstract:
A locking clamp device is provided with first and second clamping members. The first clamping member includes a base member with a first clamping surface and a locking member movable with respect to the base member between a securing position and a releasing position. The second clamping member is slidably engaged with the first clamping member and selectively movable to a plurality of clamping positions. The second clamping member includes a second clamping surface opposite the first clamping surface. The lockout device further includes a means for preventing movement of the locking member from the securing position to the releasing position. The locking member is configured to secure the second clamping member in one of the plurality of clamping positions when the locking member is in the securing position.
Abstract:
Improvement in anti-vandalism locker for electrical panels, is to be used in different electrical panels (1), also named sideboards, cabinets and others, ordinarily parallelepipedic shaped, with all its sides closed by side (2), upper (3) and bottom walls as a base (4), including one or more doors (5) having its respective hinges (6) and, on the opposite side, initially, an internal service crossbar (7A-7B) and, over it and placed on the internal side of the door (5), there is mounted the lock kit (8), wherein that the lock kit (8) is formed by two locking and unlocking symmetrical mechanisms (9), vertically aligned, inside which the rods are mounted in a slide way (10) with the respective claws (11), at least one of them, aligned to be coupled or not to the hitch (11') fixed in the cabinet correspondent parts (1), where, also, between both locking and unlocking symmetrical mechanisms (9) is mounted the kit of pantographic brackets (12) properly coupled for moving the rods (10) and, then, said kit of pantographic brackets presents a core coupled to driver (13) or lock itself, which activation through rotations clockwise or anticlockwise that allows the rods (10) to be vertically moved as to establish claws locking or unlocking (11) in the hitch elements (11') from the panel.
