Equipment lock

An equipment lock, comprising

• a plurality of cables adapted to be secured respectively against separation from a plurality of items of equipment and each having a cable end member shaped for engagement in a locking device, said cable end members being in the form of laterally grooved prongs,
• a lock body having a plurality of spaced receptacles for said cable end members, said receptacles being in the form of bores in the lock body shaped to receive said prongs,
• keeper means having a keeping position relative to said receptacles in which it interengages the cable end members to secure the same against removal from the lock body, said keeper means including blocker portions which in the keeper position of the keeper means interengage the grooves in said prongs to block their removal from the bores, and said keeper means being movable from said position to release the cable end members for such removal,
• and locking means for locking said keeper means in said securing position and operable to release the keeper means for movement to release the cable end members.

An equipment lock comprising a plurality of cables adapted to be secured respectively against separation from a plurality of items to be secured against removal, each cable having an end member shaped for insertion in a locking device,

• a lock body having a core chamber for the reception of a key-removable core,
• a plurality of cable-receiving bores crossing and partially intersecting said core chamber,
• said cable ends being shaped for insertion in said bores and to be blocked from removal therefrom by engagement with a core mounted in said chamber,
• and a core mounted in said chamber and having key-actuated means for locking the core in said chamber to lock the cable ends against removal and for releasing the core for removal from the chamber to release the cable ends for removal from the cable-receiving bores.

An equipment lock, comprising

• a plurality of cables adapted to be secured respectively against separation from a plurality of items to be secured against removal, each cable having an end member shaped for insertion in a locking device,
• a lock body having a plurality of cable-receiving bores in circumferentially spaced relation therein,
• a keeper member mounted for rotation in said body between a keeper position and a release position,
• said cable end members having lateral cavities therein and said keeper member having keeper lugs thereon which engage in said cavities to retain the end members against retraction when the keeper member is in its keeper position,
• and a locking mechanism mounted in said lock body and connected to said keeper member to lock the same in its cable retaining keeper position.
