  • Key-releasable securing device
    Patent number: 10472146
    Abstract: A key-releasable securing device has a flexible strap having a plurality of teeth and a locking head. The locking head has a cavity in which the flexible strap is insertable into and through to form a securing loop of adjustable dimension. The flexible strap is slidably movable in first or second directions to reduce or increase, respectively, the dimension of the securing loop. A pawl member is located inside the locking head so as to engage with the teeth of the flexible strap to allow movement in the first direction but prevent movement in the second direction. As a release key is inserted into the locking head, the release key is guided by guide means into engagement with the pawl member, so as to move the pawl member out of engagement with the teeth of the flexible strap to allow the strap to move in the second direction.
