Abstract: A lock structure for an electrical device is provided. The lock structure includes a rotatable fastener, a lock body, an operation device, and a housing. The lock body is disposed at least partially in the housing, connected with the operation device, and includes or couples with a driving portion. When the lock body is operated to achieve an unlocked state, the lock body allows the driving portion to move the rotatable fastener. At the same time, the operation device achieves an operable status in which the operation device can move driving portion to change the orientation of the rotatable fastener, resulting in the connection/detachment of the lock structure and the electronic device. When the lock body is in a locked state, the movement of the driving portion is restricted and the operation device is not operable to directly or indirectly rotate the rotatable fastener, resulting in the secure connection of the lock structure and the electronic device.

Abstract: A U-lock keyway protector comprising a cylindrical tube mounted for rotation on a U-lock crossbar. The keyway protector generates enough friction against the crossbar to allow only manual rotation, and it provides a secure grip for ease in rotation. A keyway aperture allows access to the U-lock keyway when in an unprotective position and denies access when in a protective position. When the U-lock is engaged, a shackle leg extends through a shackle slot, preventing longitudinal movement of the keyway protector along the crossbar. A lip at the edge of the keyway protector limits the distance that the keyway protector can be slipped onto the crossbar and eliminates alignment problems.

Abstract: The automobile anti-theft device consists of a hardened steel collar which encircles the steering column of the automobile and includes two rotatably attached sections which are attached to each other by sliding one end of a first section underneath an end of the second section. The first section has a projection on the end which fits into a radially extending recess on the underside of the second section and thus acts as a pivot point about which the first section rotates relative to the second section. The first section consists of an arcuate body, which is shaped to cover a portion of the side of the steering column, and a projection which extends radially out from the arcuate body. When this section is in place on the steering column, the projection is thus approximately perpendicular to the steering column. The second section consists of an arcuate body which is shaped to cover a portion of the steering column which is contiguous with and on the same side as the portion covered by the first section.

Abstract: A device for use in thawing frozen car locks comprises a tube (10) of a heat insulating material having a plug support at one end; axial holes through the plug support; a flat, axially projecting plug (13) extending from the plug support designed to be inserted into and to essentially fill the keyhole of the lock; and a raised lip on the plug end formed with a plurality of through-going, radial cuts (15). When the projection is inserted into the keyhole in a frozen lock, and expiration air is blown into the other end of the tube, this air gives off its heat to the outer side of the lock before flowing through the openings without itself penetrating into the lock. The heat, on the other hand, is conducted into the lock and melts ice formed therein.

The solid frontal portion is adapted to fit securely against the outer extremity of the doorknob in which the key slot is structured so as to prevent one from inserting a key or other object into the key slot while it is so covered.

Abstract: A doorknob security apparatus (10) includes an upper housing (14) and a lower housing (16) which cooperate to form a cylindrical member. Hinge parts (24) and (26) are disposed on one edge of the halves and a locking member (20) is disposed on the other side to secure the two halves together. A cover (18) is mounted in annular grooves (28) and (30) on the periphery of the two halves (14) and (16). Semi-annular rings (32) and (38) are disposed on the interior of the housings (14) and (16) to form spaces (34) and (40) while receiving the gripping portion of the doorknob. An orifice is formed with the semi-annular rings to fit about the stem of the doorknob with a diameter less than gripping portion of the doorknob to prevent removal of the apparatus (10) from the doorknob. Reinforcing portions (44) and (46) increase the structural integrity of the semi-annular members (32) and (38).

Abstract: A protective doorknob encasement device which provides a protective cover over the space formed between a door jamb and an exterior doorknob to prevent insertion of a tool to forcibly open the door. The invention includes a mounting plate and a track guide to enable slidable attachment of a protective casement. The track guide is configured so as to orient and restrict movement of the casement along the track and only in a direction toward the exterior door surface. Removal of the casement is permitted by its continued forward motion along the track and is only possible when the door is open. This unidirectional forward motion results from use of spring-biased pawls coupled to the casement which catch in corresponding grooves set in the mounting plate to prevent rearward motion. An opening is provided in the casement in alignment with a key slot of the enclosed doorknob to permit normal access.

Abstract: A detachable guard or cover for preventing access to the keyhole of cylinder type locks in the face of a wall or locked door of a tool cabinet is combined with openings in the wall on each side of said keyhole.
