Cargo seal

To securely close a container having at least one door, an improved cargo security assembly comprising:

• a cargo container closure assembly structured to be positioned between an open orientation wherein the cargo door can be opened and a closed orientation wherein the cargo door is maintained closed,
• said cargo container closure assembly including a cargo container door latch assembly structured to restrict movement of said cargo container closure assembly into said open orientation when latched and including at least one lock aperture defined therein,
• a container door lock structured to be disposed on said cargo container closure assembly in order to prevent opening thereof and including a primary shroud assembly and a pivot brace,
• said primary shroud assembly structured to substantially shield from external access a connection joint between an actuation handle of the container door latch assembly and a lock rod of the cargo container closure assembly,
• said pivot brace disposed about the lock rod and structured to engage said primary shroud assembly and prevent pivotal movement thereof along with the actuation handle about an axis of the lock rod,
• a first receiving aperture formed in said primary shroud assembly and a second receiving aperture formed in said pivot brace,
• an elongate segment of substantially strong, generally flexible material and including a first end and a second end, one of said first and second ends extendable through said one lock aperture and the other of said first and second ends extendable through said first and second receiving apertures to define a sealed position of said elongate segment,
• a pair of lock segments each mounted on a different one of said first and second ends and each having an increased diameter relative to a diameter of said elongate segment and a diameter of said lock aperture and said receiving apertures so as to prevent unauthorized removal of said elongate segment from either said container door lock or said cargo container door latch assembly,
• said container door lock being structured to be removable from said cargo container closure assembly upon detachment of said elongate segment from said container door lock, and said elongate segment disposed and cooperatively structured relative to both said cargo container door latch assembly and said container door lock to prevent removal thereof and movement of said cargo container door latch assembly from said closed orientation to said open orientation unless said elongate segment is removed from said sealed position.
