Abstract: The present invention relates to security devices used to protect merchandise or other objects, including security devices having one or more adjustable cables used to wrap around objects of various shapes and sizes, such that the security devices are secured to the objects. The present invention also relates to a removable module that can enable a disposable, one-alarm passive security device to provide three-alarm functionality.

Abstract: A mortise lock mechanism that includes a lock housing adapted for secure positioning within a mortise, first and second locking members positioned within the housing, each having a first end and a hooked second end, an actuator mounted for rotational movement within the housing and adapted for user directed rotational movement, and a motion translating linkage having a first end pivotally interconnected to the first end of the first locking member, a second end pivotally interconnected to the first end of the second locking member. The motion translating linkage is interconnected to the actuating member and adapted for corresponding movement when the actuator is moved. A first bias member interconnects the translating linkage to the housing, whereby the bias member retains the actuator and the translating linkage in a first position absent user force directed to the actuator.

Abstract: A lock 10 for a sliding door or window. The lock 10 includes a hollow body 11 within which there is pivotally mounted a pair of hook tongues 14 and 15. The tongues are driven by rack gears 54 which are operated by a lock cylinder 19. The rack gears 54 move linearly in opposite directions to cause angular movement of the tongues 14 and 15 in opposite rotational directions.

Abstract: A plurality of separately keyed padlocks, ranging in number from 7 to 150 or more, are securely held within a circular assembly that is rotated for selection of a specific padlock. This assembly of locks can be placed at a level for easy reach from a car window. Visible imprinted numbers provide a quick way for authorized members of a group to locate the padlock which a specific key will open. When opened and the padlock is turned opposite a slotted bar, moving the bar actuates a separately installed automatic gate-opener for access to an area. Alternatively, the system can be adapted for use manually by authorized personnel to lock or unlock a gate, door, or secured equipment. No padlock can be removed from the assembly except for periodic changing of a lock when an individual leaves the group and thus is no longer permitted to enter the closed area.

Abstract: The invention is a cam locking rod devices for securing doors on intermodal cargo containers, semi-trailers, utility trailers, trucks, and other similar cargo storage compartments. The lock rod device is used in conjunction with a rotatable cam lock rod, having cam locks on each end, mounted on a container door for securing the container door in a locked condition. A locking cylinder, through which the cam lock rod extends, has at least one locking projection thereon which interacts with at least one projection on a sliding latch, which when intermeshed prevents rotation of the cam lock rod. A pad lock is used in conjunction with the sliding latch to lock projections on the locking cylinder and slide latch in a meshed position which prevents rotation of the cam lock rod.

Abstract: A multi-lock latch for gates and other closures which utilizes one or more padlocks for security and includes a drum rotatably attached to the gate and having a peripheral flange provided with multiple, spaced padlock openings for receiving the respective padlock shackles. A horizontally-oriented locking bar is slidably attached to the gate, with one end of the locking bar positioned in alignment with the respective shackle openings in the drum flange as the drum is rotated, and the opposite, or locking end of the locking bar aligned with a plate opening provided in a gate post plate mounted on a gate post securing the gate. When the padlocks are attached to the drum flange by insertion of the respective shackles through corresponding shackle openings in the drum flange, the locking bar is disposed such that the locking end is inserted in the plate opening located in the gate post plate and the gate cannot be opened.

Abstract: A door for a trailer, container, garage or similar structure carries a vertically movable elongated rod adjacent its free end. A plurality of pins are pivotally mounted on the rod and are adapted to move into locking apertures located on the structure as the rod moves downwardly into its door locking position. The rod can be moved upwardly and downwardly by a manually operable handle which is accessible from the exterior of the door. The door is also provided with a recess within which is located a key lock mechanism for locking the rod in the downward position. The key lock mechanism includes a vertically aligned keyhole which is accessible only through the recess thereby making access to the keyhole by a screw-driver or the like difficult.

Abstract: A multi-lock security device for providing access to a secured area by releasing any one of a number of locks. The device includes a locking plate rotatably disposed on a stationary axis, said axis secured to an existing structure or itself embedded in the ground. The locking plate is provided with a series of radial access channels formed through a flanged retaining rib disposed on said lock plate, thereby enabling the gate pin to be slidably held within an interior latch race. Fastening gates are pivotally attached on the locking plate and may be closed across the access channels and secured with padlocks connectable through corresponding openings in both the fastening gate and the locking plate.

Abstract: An enclosed locking system for transportable commercial containers having swinging or roll-up access doors. A main feature of this locking system is that it renders the locked container virtually tamper-proof. Only the key access hole is externally accessible. This locking system may be added to existing containers or incorporated into new units. The system is fitted into the container horizontal frame member positioned at the lower edge of the access doors. The locking system comprises two main sub-assemblies, a cam lock housing and a removable lock assembly. The cam lock housing is bolted or welded to the container frame member, while the lock assembly is removable after a locking bolt therein is disengaged from a portion of the cam lock housing by key operation. When the lock assembly is so removed, it exposes a cam actuator lever which, when pivoted, disengages at least one cam lock from a cavity in the lower horizontal edge of the access doors, allowing entry.

Abstract: The prevalent lockrods type rear-end closures for overland cargo carrying vehicles are exceedingly vulnerable to determined thievery. The high security locking assembly of the present invention is highly deterrent to thievery and comprises a hasp including a pair of J-shaped members respectively removably engaged with the two closure lockrods and having the apertured staple of the primary J-hook member cooperatively protruding through a slot of the secondary J-hook member. The two cooperating J-hook members are securely joinable with a padlock having its U-shaped bar passing through the protruding staple, and hence, protectively shrouded by the cooperating J-shaped members. When the lateral spacing of the lockrods is relatively close, the locking assembly prevents closure play as additional deterrent to thievery. The locking assembly will also accommodate relatively distant spacing of the lockrods and even if the two closure doors include a rearwardly protruding upright rib.

Abstract: A lockbox is disclosed, as for use in hotel closets, which includes an above-floor container fixed to define a space with a rectangular opening for closure by a locking cover. The cover incorporates a peripheral double ridge defining a peripheral channel to receive the upper edges of the container. Pairs of latching cam members are pivotally affixed at central, diametrically opposed locations in the cover, for actuation by a centrally located lock movement for engagement and disengagement with slots in the container. The movement is accomplished through a symmetrical linkage mechanism which simultaneously actuates each of the individual cam members and which incorporates a pair of parallel arms extending between pairs of the cam members and a pair of linking arms extending from the parallel arms to the lock movement. The pivotal support shafts for the cam members also serve as spacer mounts to support an internal cover for the locking mechanism.
