Abstract: A tamper resistant padlock including a lock housing having a surface defining a bore having an inner surface. A shackle has first and second legs and is moveable between a first position, in which the first and second legs are located within the lock housing with the second leg being disposed in the bore, and a second position, in which the second leg is separated from the bore of the lock housing. A shield is disposed around the second leg. Wherein when the shackle is in the first position, a portion of the shield is proximate to the surface of the lock housing to essentially cover at least a portion of any gap between the inner surface of the bore and the second leg of the shackle.

Abstract: A lock assembly adapted to engage a closure eye. A piston is slideably positioned in the housing for movement between a first piston position, in which the piston is substantially positioned inside the housing, and a second piston position, in which a portion of the piston extends from the housing. A bolt is moveable from a first bolt position into a second bolt position. When the bolt is substantially in the second bolt position and the piston is moved into the first piston position, the bolt moves into a third bolt position, in which the bolt is substantially within the housing. The bolt is adapted to be positioned within the closure eye at least while in the third bolt position.

Abstract: A security chain including a plurality of links interconnected. Each link includes a central member having first and second ends. The central member is formed by a hollow elongated tube with openings at the first and second ends. The hollow elongated tube has a generally circular cross section. First and second connector members are each welded across a separate one of the openings providing a high strength security chain suitable for anti-theft applications. Additional types of security chains are disclosed herein.

Abstract: A heavy duty steering wheel securing anti-theft device. Embodiments are described herein that also protect any air bag contained in the steering wheel.

Abstract: A lock that is tamper resistant and includes a lock member. Two tubes are disposed on the lock member. Each of the two tubes extend generally outwardly therefrom and each define a bore therethrough. The lock includes a closure member which has two shafts. The two shafts are inserted through the two tubes and detachable within the lock member when the lock is an installed configuration. A locking mechanism detachably locks the closure member to the lock member when the lock is in the installed configuration wherein the two tubes substantially cover the two shafts.

Abstract: A tape adapted to absorb and/or regulate vibration preferably includes a multi-layer material that may include a first elastomeric layer of vibration absorbing material which is substantially free of voids therein. A second elastomeric layer includes an aramid material therein and is disposed on the first elastomeric layer. The amramid material distributes vibration to facilitate vibration dampening. A third elastomeric layer disposed on the second elastomeric layer.

Abstract: A vibration absorbing grip including a grip body formed by a multi-layer material. The material preferably includes a first elastomeric layer of vibration absorbing material which is substantially free of voids therein. A second elastomeric layer which includes an aramid material therein and is disposed on the first elastomeric layer. The amramid material distributes vibration to facilitate vibration dampening. A third elastomeric layer is disposed on the second elastomeric layer and is adapted to be gripped by a user.

Abstract: An accessory component for a lock having a lock body capable of being detachably secured in closed loop to define a first bounded area. The accessory component includes a component body having first and second ends. The first end includes a first ring defining a first bore and second end includes a second ring defining a second bore. The accessory component is adapted to be positionable in an installed configuration in which the at least a portion of the lock body is located within the first and second bores such that the accessory component, in combination with the lock body, defines a second bounded area. The accessory component is adapted to secure an object within the second bounded area when the accessory component is in the installed configuration and the lock is detachably secured to form the closed loop.

Abstract: A lock including a lock body having a first side. The lock body defines a first area having a first opening to the first side of the lock body. The lock body defines a second area having a second opening through the first side of the lock body. The first and second openings result in the lock body having a first outer leg, a central leg, and second outer leg. The first outer leg and the central leg border the first opening. The second outer leg and the central leg border the second opening. At least one rod is detachably slidably engageable with the lock body to close the first and second openings and is adapted to be located in the first outer leg, the central leg, and at least a portion of the second outer leg to form first and second closed areas.

Abstract: A material adapted to regulate vibration by distributing and partially dissipating vibration exerted thereon. The material includes an elastomer layer. A support structure is penetrated by and is embedded on and/or within the elastomer layer. The support structure is semi-rigid and supports the elastomer layer. Methods of making the material are also disclosed herein.
