Claims20
A security lock comprising:
- a body;
- a lock mechanism disposed within said body, said lock mechanism being movable between a locked position and an unlocked position;
- a locking member in communication with said body and said locking member, wherein said locking member is dimensioned to be securely held within said lock mechanism when said lock mechanism is in the locked position and to be movable from said lock mechanism when said lock mechanism is in the unlocked position;
- a user interface in communication with said body and adapted to control movement of said lock mechanism between the locked position and the unlocked position, wherein said user interface comprises at least two movable members and a plurality of symbols disposed upon each of said at least two movable members;
- at least one battery powered light disposed upon said body proximate to said user interface such that light emanating from said battery powered light illuminates said symbols on at least one of said at least two movable members when power is supplied thereto;
- at least one battery in electrical communication with said at least one battery powered light;
- a power switch for controlling a flow of power from said at least one battery to said battery powered light;
- and
- at least one reflector disposed upon said body and dimensioned and adapted to reflect at least a portion said light emanating from said at least one battery powered light onto said symbols on said at least one movable member.
A locking system comprising:
- a security lock comprising:
- a body;
- a lock mechanism disposed within said body, said lock mechanism being movable between a locked position and an unlocked position;
- a locking member in communication with said body and said locking member, wherein said locking member is dimensioned to be securely held within said lock mechanism when said lock mechanism is in the locked position and to be movable from said lock mechanism when said lock mechanism is in the unlocked position;
- a user interface in communication with said body and adapted to control movement of said lock mechanism between the locked position and the unlocked position, wherein said user interface comprises at least two movable members and a plurality of symbols disposed upon each of said at least two movable members;
- at least one battery powered light disposed upon said body proximate to said user interface such that light emanating from said battery powered light illuminates said symbols on at least one of said at least two movable members when power is supplied thereto;
- at least one battery in electrical communication with said at least one battery powered light;
- a power switch for controlling a flow of power from said at least one battery to said battery powered light;
- and
- at least one reflector disposed upon said body and dimensioned and adapted to reflect at least a portion of said light emanating from said at least one battery powered light onto said symbols on said at least one movable member;
- and
- a cable secured to said security lock, wherein said cable is of a length sufficient to at least pass through a pair of arms of a coat and is manufactured of a material that is sufficiently flexible to allow said cable to be coiled when not in use and is sufficiently durable to prevent a potential thief from cutting through said flexible cable with ordinary scissors.
A locking system kit, wherein said kit comprises:
- a locking system comprising a security lock and a cable;
- wherein said security lock comprises:
- a body;
- a lock mechanism disposed within said body, said lock mechanism being movable between a locked position and an unlocked position;
- a locking member in communication with said body and said locking member, wherein said locking member is dimensioned to be securely held within said lock mechanism when said lock mechanism is in the locked position and to be movable from said lock mechanism when said lock mechanism is in the unlocked position;
- and
- a user interface in communication with said body and adapted to control movement of said lock mechanism between the locked position and the unlocked position, wherein said user interface comprises at least one movable member and a plurality of symbols disposed upon said movable member;
- and
- wherein said cable is dimensioned communication with said security lock, wherein said cable is of a length sufficient to at least pass through a pair of arms of a coat and is manufactured of a material that is sufficiently flexible to allow said cable to be coiled when not in use and is sufficiently durable to prevent a potential thief from cutting through said flexible cable with ordinary scissors;
- and
- a pouch dimensioned to store and transport said locking system when said locking system is not in use;
- wherein said pouch comprises sealing means for sealing said pouch such that said locking system is restrained within said pouch.
