Security locking assembly

An improved security locking assembly for substantially preventing unauthorized removal of a bolt having a bolthead, the bolt operably engaging a securing member for joining a first housing to a second housing when one of the housings telescopically receives a portion of the other of the housings, each of the housings having an aperture therein such that in a connected position the apertures of the housings are aligned for receiving the bolt, the locking assembly comprising:

• a locking assembly housing comprising:
• a base plate having a first side, an opposed second side, and an aperture;
• and
• wall means having at least one aperture therein, the wall means extending outwardly from the first side of the base plate such that the aperture of the base plate is alignable with the apertures of the first and second housings for receiving the bolt;
• a bushing assembly disposed within the aperture of the base plate for rotatably mounting the locking assembly housing to the first and second housings by the bolt, the bushing assembly comprising:
• a body member having a bore extending therethrough, the body member further defined as having a first end portion and an opposed second end portion;
• and
• a flange extending radially from the first end portion of the body, the flange having a first surface for cooperating with the body member to form a shoulder for supporting one of the locking assembly housing and the first housing, the second surface abutting a portion of one of the first or second housings;
• a cover assembly comprising:
• a cover plate having a first side and an opposed second side, the cover plate being shaped such that the cover plate is positionable within an interior portion of the locking assembly housing defined by the wall means and the base plate such that the cover plate substantially covers the bolt head;
• and
• a first tab member having an aperture therein, the first tab member extending from the first side of the cover plate and disposed near a first interior portion of the wall means of the locking assembly housing such that in a connected position the aperture of the first tab member is aligned with the aperture of the wall means;
• a pin having a first end portion and a second end portion, one of the first and second end portions of the pin extending through the aligned apertures of the wall means and the first tab member for connecting the cover plate to the wall means of the locking assembly housing, the pin being shaped such that the first end portion of the pin is disposed near the second end portion of the pin, so that in an assembled position the pin, the locking assembly housing, and the cover assembly cooperate to secure the cover plate of the cover assembly in a bolthead covering position;
• and
• means for securing the first end portion of the pin to the second end portion of the pin to substantially prevent removal of the pin from the locking assembly housing and the cover plate of the cover assembly without destruction of a portion of one of the pin and the locking assembly housing.
