Abstract
A self-locking device having a locking mechanism is configured to lock an object. A mounting bracket contrivance includes a guide track implement for engaging the locking mechanism. A notch implement is configured to allow said locking mechanism to rotate out into an open position and a back stop is configured to hold the locking mechanism within the notch implement in an open position. A is configured to inhibit the locking portion from escaping the guide track implement. A base plate tool is used to mount the mounting bracket contrivance to a mounting surface and elevated the mounting bracket contrivance off the mounting surface.
Claims20
A device comprising:
- a locking mechanism, wherein said locking mechanism is configured to lock an object;
- a mounting bracket, comprising:
- a guide track implement, in which said guide track implement comprises at least one or more guide tracks configured to engage said locking mechanism;
- at least one or more notches configured to allow said locking mechanism to rotate out into an open position;
- a back stop, wherein said back stop is configured to hold said locking mechanism in said at least one or more notches in an open position;
- and
- a curved lip end portion, wherein said curved lip end portion is configured to inhibit said locking mechanism from escaping said at least one or more guide tracks;
- and
- a base plate, wherein said base plate is disposed proximately between said mounting bracket and a mounting surface when the base plate is engaged with the mounting surface, and wherein said mounting bracket and said guide track implement are elevated off the mounting surface by said base plate when the base plate is engaged with the mounting surface,
- wherein said base plate is further configured to provide a space for a rear portion of said locking mechanism to slide along said guide track implement between said mounting bracket and the mounting surface when the base plate is engaged with the mounting surface.
