Lock adapter

A lock adapter for a lock with a lock shackle comprising:

• a first arm comprising:
• a first arm central portion;
• a first arm distal portion, extending from a first arm distal end, along a first longitudinal axis, to the first arm central portion;
• wherein the first arm distal portion has a substantially linear form;
• wherein the first longitudinal axis extends along a first axis {X} as represented in a three dimensional space defined by the first axis, a second axis {Y} perpendicular to the first axis and forming a first plane, and a third axis {Z} perpendicular to the first plane;
• wherein the first arm distal portion is configured for insertion into and through a staple of a latch assembly of a corresponding hasp configured for use in controlling access to a structure;
• a first arm proximal portion, extending on the first plane, from the first arm central portion to a first arm proximal end, and along a second longitudinal axis that extends at a first arm interior angle relative to the first longitudinal axis;
• wherein the first arm proximal portion has a substantially linear form;
• wherein the first arm proximal portion includes a first arm first aperture providing a first opening configured for receiving the lock shackle;
• wherein the first arm central portion seamlessly connects the first arm distal portion with the first arm proximal portion;
• wherein the first arm central portion has a substantially non-linear form and includes a first vertex, providing a bend on the first plane and characterized by the first arm interior angle, at which the first longitudinal axis and the second longitudinal axis intersect;
• a second arm comprising:
• a second arm central portion;
• a second arm proximal portion including:
• a second arm proximal end;
• a second arm first aperture providing a second opening configured for receiving the lock shackle;
• wherein the second arm, when used with the first arm to secure the structure, extends from the second arm proximal portion, along the second longitudinal axis, parallel to the first arm proximal portion, to the second arm central portion;
• a second arm distal portion, extending from the central portion to a second arm distal end, substantially perpendicularly to the first arm distal portion;
• and
• wherein the second arm distal end includes a second arm tip section;
• wherein the second arm tip section includes a second arm second aperture;
• wherein the second arm second aperture is configured to receive the first arm distal end;
• wherein the first arm and second arm further secure the structure upon insertion of the first arm distal end through the staple and into the second arm second aperture;
• wherein the second arm central portion seamlessly connects the first arm distal portion with the first arm proximal portion;
• wherein the second arm central portion includes a plurality of vertexes which bend the second arm central portion into an elongated “U” shaped form so as to extend up and around the staple when the first arm is mated with the second arm;
• wherein, when the first arm is mated with the second arm and used to secure the structure, the first arm distal portion protrudes, at a substantially perpendicular orientation to, through and beyond second arm second aperture so as to prevent separation of the second arm from the first arm while the first arm distal portion protrudes through the staple and the while the first arm and the second arm are mated to the lock shackle;
• and
• wherein upon the lock adapter mating with the staple and with the lock shackle, access to the structure via the latch assembly is inhibited.
