Abstract
A security locking assembly for substantially preventing unauthorized removal of the bolt securing two members together, the security locking assembly comprising a locking assembly housing secured to the two members by the bolt; a pin, having a first end portion and a second end portion, extendable through a portion of the locking assembly housing; a locking device engaging the first and second end portions of the pin to prevent unauthorized removal of the pin from the locking assembly housing without destruction of a portion of the pin and/or the locking assembly housing; and a cover assembly cooperating with the locking assembly housing and the pin to prevent access to the bolt securing the two members together.
Claims13
An improved security locking assembly for substantially preventing unauthorized removal of a bolt having a bolthead, the bolt operably engaging a security member for joining two members together, the two members being characterized as a first and second housing wherein one of the housing telescopically receives a portion of the other housing such that one edge portion of the housing telescopically receiving the other housing forms a ridge, each of the first and second housing having an aperture therein such that in a connected position the apertures are aligned for receiving the bolt, the security locking assembly comprising:
- a locking assembly housing secured to the first and second housing by the bolt and the securing member such that the bolthead is disposed substantially adjacent one surface of the locking assembly housing, the locking assembly housing comprising:
- a base plate having a first side, and opposed second side, and an aperture;
- wall means having at least one aperture therein, the wall means extending outwardly from the first side of the base plate;
- an orientation member extending outwardly from the opposed second side of the base plate, the orientation member positioned a distance from the aperture of the base plate such that in the connected position the aperture of the base plate is aligned with the aperture of the first and second housing for receiving the bolt, the orientation member engaging the ridge formed by the edge portion of the housing telescopically receiving the portion of the other housing;
- a pin having a first end portion and a second end portion, the pin extending through at least a portion of the locking assembly housing when the pin is in a connected position with the locking assembly housing, the pin being shaped such that in the connected position the first end portion of the pin is disposed near the second end portion of the pin, the pin and the locking assembly housing being shaped such that a portion of one of the locking assembly housing and the pin is disposed near and above at least a portion of the bolthead to substantially prevent access to the bolthead when the pin and the locking assembly housing are in the connected 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 without destruction of a portion of one of the pin and the locking assembly housing.
