Elongate flexible security apparatus and method of using the same

An elongate flexible security apparatus comprising:

• a plurality of relatively movable connecting parts that are joined to produce a combined length for the elongate flexible security apparatus,
• a first of the plurality of connecting parts comprising:
• a) a first piece having a body with first and second receptacles respectively with first and second entryways;
• and b) a second piece having a second body with third and fourth receptacles respectively with third and fourth entryways,
• the first piece and second piece configured to be moved between:
• a) a starting relationship wherein paths exist from locations spaced from the first body:
• i) through the first entryway into the first receptacle and through the second entryway into the second receptacle;
• and from locations spaced from the second body ii) through the third entryway into the third receptacle and through the fourth entryway into the fourth receptacle and;
• b) an operative relationship wherein the first and second pieces cooperate to:
• A) block each of the paths through the first, second, third, and fourth entryways successively into the first, second, third, and fourth receptacles;
• B) define spaced first and second substantially fully surrounded openings respectively defined by:
• a) at least part of the first and fourth receptacles;
• and b) at least part of the second and third receptacles,
• a second of the plurality of connecting parts having a portion extendable through one of the first and second substantially fully surrounded openings and configured to define a pivoting connection between the first of the plurality of connecting parts and the second of the plurality of connecting parts.
