A releasable locking cap, comprising:
- a) a plug having a thickness disposed between an top surface and a bottom surface and bounded by a side surface, said side surface configured to allow removable insertion in an inlet of a vessel;
- b) at least one lock member bore which extends a distance inwardly from said side surface;
- c) at least one lock member slidely engaged within said at least one lock member bore having a length disposed between a first end and a second end;
- d) at least one lock member magnet coupled to said at least one lock member;
- e) a magnetic field to which said at least one lock member magnet responds to generate travel in said at least one lock member within said at least one lock member bore to extend said first end of said at least one lock member beyond said side surface to allow lockable engagement of said first end with a portion of said vessel.
The releasable locking cap of claim 1, further comprising a cap key configured to locate at least one cap key magnet in relation to said at least one lock member magnet coupled to said at least one lock member to generate sufficient travel of said at least one lock member within said at least one lock member bore to disengage said first end from said portion of said vessel.
The releasable locking cap of claim 1, further comprising a cap body coupled to said plug, wherein said cap body has configuration of sufficiently greater dimension than said plug to prevent said cap body from being inserted within said inlet of said vessel.
The releasable locking cap of claim 1, wherein said side surface of said plug has a configuration selected from the group consisting of:
- circular, square, rectangular, oval, and triangular.
The releasable locking cap of claim 1, wherein said locking member has a cross sectional area selected from the group consisting of:
- circular, square, rectangular, oval, and triangular.
