Abstract
A wristband barrel lock includes a tubular housing extending between a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end, the tubular housing defining a passageway extending from the first longitudinal end to the second longitudinal end, a plurality of teeth positioned within the passageway, each tooth of the plurality of teeth extending from a base coupled to the tubular housing to a tip spaced apart from the tubular housing within the passageway, and a breakaway feature formed in the tubular housing and/or the plurality of teeth that decreases a force required to fracture the wristband barrel lock.
Claims20
A wristband barrel lock comprising:
- a tubular housing extending between a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end, the tubular housing defining a passageway extending from the first longitudinal end to the second longitudinal end;
- a plurality of teeth positioned within the passageway, each tooth of the plurality of teeth extending from a base coupled to the tubular housing to a tip spaced apart from the tubular housing within the passageway;
- and
- a breakaway feature formed in the tubular housing and/or the plurality of teeth that decreases a force required to fracture the wristband barrel lock.
A wristband barrel lock comprising:
- a tubular housing extending between a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end, the tubular housing defining a passageway extending from the first longitudinal end to the second longitudinal end;
- and
- a plurality of teeth positioned within the passageway, each tooth of the plurality of teeth extending from a base coupled to the tubular housing to a tip spaced apart from the tubular housing within the passageway, the plurality of teeth configured to permit movement of a strap in a first direction through the passageway and prevent movement of the strap in a second direction opposite the first direction;
- wherein the wristband barrel lock is configured to destructively fracture upon application of a predetermined force to permit removal of the strap from the wristband barrel lock.
A wristband barrel lock comprising:
- a tubular housing extending between a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end, the tubular housing defining a passageway extending from the first longitudinal end to the second longitudinal end;
- a plurality of teeth positioned within the passageway, each tooth of the plurality of teeth extending from a base coupled to the tubular housing to a tip spaced apart from the tubular housing within the passageway;
- and
- a radial opening formed in the tubular housing at a location between the first longitudinal end and the plurality of teeth, the radial opening configured to receive a strap such that the strap enters the passageway through the radial opening and exits the passageway through the second longitudinal end.
