Abstract
The Container-Locking Device with respect to this particular invention has been designed to fasten the locking upright bar of one door of a container to another. It has been invented to include two virtually symmetrical segments of a pair of locking bar fasteners, where the flat end of each segment, opposite to the end fastened to the container door locking bar, will be fixed to one of the two virtually symmetrical segments of a padlock shroud. There is also a separation-prevention unit which prevents the shroud from being separated and eliminates the gap between the two segments when they are joined, in order to prevent a bolt cutter from being able to be inserted into the padlock shackle.
Claims13
The Container-Locking Device includes:
- one pair of hardened steel, bolt cutter-resistant locking bar fasteners (2), each locking bar fastener (2) made of a long, flat metal plate, where one independent end is bent into a U shape (3) to the extent that a radius of the arch of the U shape corresponds with a radius of a container locking bar (1) to which each pair of the locking bar fasteners is attached;
- and
- a padlock compartment (5), with a height almost equivalent to a width of the locking bar fasteners (2), and which is divided into two symmetrical padlock compartment segments (6 and 7), where each segment is fixed to the front side of a flat end (4) of each locking bar fastener (2), opposite to the U-shape independent end (3), wherein the total length of the locking bar fasteners (2) when both sides are connected is consistent with the distance between the two container locking bars (1), which are installed next to each other.
The Container-Locking Mechanism of claim 2, wherein the padlock shroud separation-prevention unit is connected to the back side of the device, between the edges of the said padlock compartment segments (6 and 7).
