Abstract: A security device including a sleeve adapted to fit over the body portion of a padlock and provided with slots or apertures to permit closing or locking of the sleeve with the sleeve enveloping the padlock body. An internally accessible pocket is provided in one internal face of the sleeve to receive a key or other object to be secured. The presence of the padlock body in the sleeve prevents access to the pocket. A window may be provided in one of the sleeve walls to provide access to the padlock release mechanism such as a combination mechanism or keyhole.

Abstract: A stay mechanism for two hingedly connected members which are moveable between a first unengaged position and a second engaged position. An arm is hingedly attached at one end to a first member. The other end of the arm has a protrusion which is resiliently held in the pocket portion of a resilient strip attached to a second member, when the members are in the second position. A camming surface, facing the pocket of the resilient strip, defines, with the pocket, a resilient enclosure for the protrusion. The protrusion may be forced to slide out of the enclosure when the two members are moved towards the first position, by the resilient deformation and opening of the pocket. The resilient strip also has an inclined portion adjacent the pocket portion which serves as a guide for the protrusion into the pocket, when it is desired to move the members from the second position into the first position.
