Constraining tamper proof padlock hasp apparatus

Padlock hasp apparatus for receiving a padlock to lock first and second parts together and including a padlock body formed with a top surface and mounting an inverted U-shaped padlock shackle of a predetermined cross sectional diameter and formed on its closed end with a loop of a selected inside radius leading to respective oppositely disposed, generally straight, pivot and capture legs which cooperate to, when such shackle is in its locked position, from a predetermined configuration, said apparatus comprising:

• first and second hasps for mounting on the respective first and second parts and formed with respective first and second mounting flanges and first and second hasp plates arranged to, when mounted on such parts, project coextensive to one another, said first and second hasp plates being formed with aligned first and second capture leg-receiving bores, respectively, each bore being larger than such predetermined cross sectional diameter, said first and second hasp plates being further formed with respective first and second pivot leg-receiving slots for receiving such pivot leg when said capture leg is received in said capture leg-receiving bores such that said mounting flanges of said first and second hasps may be mounted on said respective first and second parts with the opposed surfaces of said plates spaced a specified distance apart for receipt of such padlock capture leg and pivot legs in such bores and slots, respectively, to engage the inside of such loop on the top surface of such first hasp plate;
• one of said hasps including a spacer disposed adjacent said capture leg receiving bore and formed with an abutment surface spaced in one direction from said second hasp plate for engaging the body of said padlock to, when said pivot and capture legs are received in said respective bores and slots and said shackle is in its locked position, engage one side of said padlock body to maintain said body tilted sufficiently relative to said hasp plate, and spaced a sufficient distance from said first hasp plate to substantially block travel of said body in a direction toward said first hasp plate to thereby substantially prevent movement of said first hasp plate away from said second hasp plate;
• and
• guard plate means mounted on said first or second hasps and projecting in a direction opposite said one direction, at least, to the extended plane of such top surface of such padlock body, when said shackle is in such locked position.
