Abstract: A locking mechanism includes a bracket configured for mounting on a wall of a securable box and receiving a lock body to selectively secure a cover to the securable box preventing access to an interior of the box. The mechanism further includes a blade that is movable relative to the bracket between a locked position and an unlocked position to secure or remove the blade and bracket to or from a securable box wall respectively. The blade and bracket can be secured to and removed from the securable box without an operator's hand extending into the interior of the box.

Abstract: A security device comprises a first component having a through first passageway surrounded by an internal first recess, and a second component having a second passageway surrounded by an internal second recess. The first and second components are configured for assembly in a mating relationship with the first and second passageways in communication with each other and in coaxial alignment. A lock has a barrel containing a spring and plunger and carrying radially shiftable locking elements, with the plunger being normally biased by the spring in one direction urging the locking elements into expanded positions protruding radially from the barrel. The barrel is insertable into and releasably retained in an unlocked position in the first passageway with the locking elements expanded radially outwardly into the first recess, and is shiftable by a forwardly applied axial force into a locked position in the second passageway with the locking elements expanded into the second recess.

Abstract: A locking device is disclosed for interlocking two members having aligned openings extending therethrough. The device includes a hollow cap and a pin with an enlarged head at one end and a nose at the opposite end. The pin is insertable through the aligned openings of the members, with its nose received in interlocked engagement within the cap, and with the two members captured between the cap and the enlarged head of the pin. A frangible portion of the pin is severable in response to relative rotation between its nose and enlarged head to thereby destructively disassemble the locking device.

Abstract: A transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS) receptacle having front and rear matable casings including a plurality of through openings for receiving the blades of an electrical plug; an electrical circuit within the receptacle having at least one element adapted to clamp high transient voltages imposed thereon to a lower level; an alarm electrically connected to the at least one element for indicating the failure of the at least one element; and a switch connected to the alarm for disabling the alarm, is described. The switch includes a moveable on-off element and a generally U-shaped, metal switch blade having a first leg for contacting the moveable element; a second leg for contacting a contact of the alarm in response to travel of the first leg caused by the moveable element, the second leg; an integral U-shaped portion connecting the first and the second legs; and a non-linear intermediate portion in the second leg extending toward the first leg for absorbing over-travel of the switch blade.
