Abstract: An apparatus, having: a staple (404); and a hasp assembly (200) including: a chamber (412) including a home position (430) and a release passage (414); and a release element (328) disposed in the release passage. Forward rotation of the hasp assembly from an upright orientation (208) about a first horizontal axis (220) allows the kinetic element to move under the influence of gravity from the home position into the release passage and into contact with the release element, thereby releasing the staple.

Abstract: A security swing handle comprises a housing and a handle pivotally mounted to the housing between a closed position and an open position. A locking insert is rotatably supported in the housing and operatively connected to a latch to actuate the latch to release the handle to an open position. A hasp assembly includes a hasp at the bottom of the housing and a plate member disposed within an interior of the housing adjacent to a bottom of the latch. A pin on the locking insert is disposed within an aperture of the plate member to move the plate member against the latch to release the handle to the open position when the locking insert is rotated. If a padlock locked to the hasp is subjected to blunt force, edges of the aperture shear the pin from the locking insert disabling the locking insert.
Abstract: A handle (100), having: an escutcheon (106) having a recessed area (300); a lever (104) pivotally mounted toward the top end of the escutcheon and at least a portion of the lever is disposed within the recessed area when in a lever closed position (102); a first gear (310) operatively connected to a top side (312) of the lever and a portion of the first gear including gear teeth (320) extending through an opening (360) in the escutcheon; a second gear (324) mounted on a back (130) of the escutcheon and having cam teeth (322) that mesh with the gear teeth of the first gear; a cam latch (140) operatively connected to the second gear to rotate when the second gear rotates; and, a lock assembly (146) mounted to a bottom end (202) of the lever.
