Lock hasp

A restraint device for restraining in securing a portable liquid propane gas tank comprising:

• a base upon which the portable liquid propane gas tank is supported;
• a vertically extended shaft having an upper threaded exposed end extending up from the base on which the portable liquid propane gas tank is supported;
• a horizontal crossbar extending above and restraining the portable liquid propane gas tank, wherein the vertically extending shaft extends through the horizontal crossbar;
• a regulator bracket disposed above the horizontal crossbar, wherein the regulator bracket further comprises a regulator mount and the vertically extending shaft extends through the regulator bracket;
• a locking nut disposed above the bracket, wherein the locking nut threadingly engages the upper threaded exposed end of the vertically extending shaft;
• and
• a lock hasp disposed above the locking nut, wherein the lock hasp comprises a central portion and a flange extending downwardly from a first side of the central portion of the lock hasp and through a slot in the regulator bracket, the flange having an opening at a distal portion thereof through which a shackle of a removable locking device may be inserted to secure the gas tank within the restraint device.

A restraint device for securing an object, the restraint device comprising:

• a base upon which the object to disposed;
• a shaft having in upper first threaded exposed end and a second opposed lower end rigidly mounted relative to the base;
• a crossbar in juxtaposed relation with the object, the crossbar having an opening through which is received the upper first threaded exposed end of the shaft;
• a bracket in juxtaposed relation with the crossbar, the bracket having an opening through which is received the upper first threaded exposed end of the shaft;
• a locking nut in juxtaposed relation with the bracket, the locking nut having a threaded opening through which is received the upper first threaded exposed end of the shaft and which threadingly engages the upper first threaded exposed end of the shaft and having a laterally outwardly extending wing from a central portion thereof;
• and
• a lock hasp in vertical juxtaposed relation with the locking nut, the lock hasp comprising a central portion and a flange extending orthogonally from a first side of the central portion of the lock hasp;
• wherein the flange extends through an offset slot in the bracket and is thereby placed in juxtaposed and proximate relation with the wing of the locking nut so as to directly and physically interfere with and prevent meaningful rotation of the locking nut, and the flange has a shackle opening through which a shackle of a removable locking device may be inserted to secure the object within the restraint device.
