Abstract
A J shaped storage hook with locking bar is provided for securing a hung object against unauthorized removal. The device includes a substantially J shaped storage hook formed from a single length of rod stock. On one end of the storage hook is the hook attachment end which is attached to a fixed and secure base through the use of an attachment mechanism. On the other side of the storage hook is the hook head end with a closed eyelet. Across the J shaped storage devise is a locking bar. After the locking bar is placed over the J shaped storage hook, hung objects are secured by placing a padlock through the closed eyelet. The J shaped storage hook, hung object, locking bar, eyebolt and lock itself fit together in a nondetachable, positively locked assembly.
Claims6
A storage device for locking an object to a support against unauthorized removal of said object from said support comprising, in combination,
- a J-shaped member having a substantially elongated straight rigid leg and a U-Shaped bight portion having a first leg integral with a first end portion of the rigid leg,
- an attachment mechanism at a second end portion of the rigid leg for attaching the storage device to the support,
- a coupling member attached to an end portion of a second leg of the U-Shaped bight portion, and
- a locking bar having a first slidably engaging member at a first end thereof, the first slidably engaging member of the locking bar adapted to receive the coupling member of the U-Shaped bight portion, the first slidably engaging member of the locking bar slidably engaging the second leg of the U-Shaped bight portion, a second slidably engaging member at a second end of the locking bar, the second slidably engaging member of the locking bar slidably engaging the rigid leg, whereby the second slidably engaging member of the locking bar is slidably adjustable on the rigid leg and the first slidable engaging member of the locking bar is slidably adjustable on the second leg of the U-Shaped bight portion when a lock is secured to the coupling member.
A storage device as claimed in claim 11, wherein the coupling member at the end portion of the U-Shaped bight portion comprises an eyelet, the first slidably engaging member comprises a first eyelet, and the second slidably engaging member comprises a second eyelet.
A storage device for locking an object to a support against unauthorized removal of said object from said support comprising, in combination,
- a J-shaped member having a substantially elongated straight rigid leg and a U-Shaped bight portion having a first leg integral with a first end portion of the rigid leg,
- an attachment mechanism at a second end portion of the rigid leg for attaching the storage device to the support,
- an eyelet attached to an end portion of a second leg of the U-Shaped bight portion,
- a locking bar having a first eyelet at a first end thereof, the first eyelet of the locking bar adapted to receive the eyelet of the U-Shaped bight portion, the first eyelet of the locking bar slidably engaging the second leg of the U-Shaped bight portion, a second eyelet at a second end of the locking bar, the second eyelet of the locking bar slidably engaging the rigid leg, and
- a padlock engaging the eyelet of the U-Shaped bight portion whereby the padlock prevents the first eyelet of the locking bar from sliding over the eyelet of the U-Shaped bight portion, and the second eyelet of the locking bar is slidably adjustable on the rigid leg and the first eyelet of the locking bar is slidably adjustable on the second leg of the bight when the padlock is secured to the eyelet of the U-Shaped bight portion.
