Protection device for bolt seal and hasp

Protection device for a latch hasp and bolt seal, the hasp having at least one aperture, the combination comprising:

• a seal comprising 1) a shank having opposing ends, said shank for passing through said at least one aperture, 2) locking means for precluding passage of one shank end in a locked state through said at least one aperture and 3) a locking body selectively locked to the shank at an opposing shank end for locking the hasp therebetween;
• a housing including a plurality of side walls defining a cavity having a bottom, a top and a plurality of sides, said housing having an opening for receiving said hasp in said cavity, said side walls for enclosing the cavity at said sides, said latch for enclosing said opening to preclude access to the cavity through said opening with tampering tools;
• and
• at least one plate member for enclosing at least said bottom such that the side walls, said at least one plate member and the latch cooperate to enclose said cavity to preclude tampering access to said cavity and received shank by said tampering tools, said at least one plate member having a first aperture cooperating with said received at least one hasp aperture for receiving said shank therethrough, the locking means and locking body for locking the received hasp to the at least one plate member whereby said shank and received hasp between said locking means and said locking body are enclosed to preclude access to the shank by said tampering tools;
• the shank having a U-shaped portion with a bight forming said locking means between said one end and said opposing end, said hasp at least one aperture for receiving said bight, said at least one plate member having at least one aperture for receiving the opposing shank end such that said bight is captured by said received hasp, the one end being unlocked relative to the locking body in the locked state, the locking body attached to the opposing end and bight cooperating with said at least one plate member and said hasp for locking the hasp to the at least one plate member.

Protection device for a latch hasp having at least one aperture and a bolt seal comprising a shank and a head secured to the shank at one shank end and a locking body selectively locked to an opposing shank end for locking the hasp therebetween, said device comprising:

• a housing including a plurality of side walls defining and enclosing the sides of a cavity having a bottom, a top and a plurality of sides, said housing having an opening in one of the side walls for receiving said hasp in said cavity;
• a first plate member for enclosing said top and having a first aperture aligned with the received at least one hasp aperture;
• a second plate member for enclosing said bottom and having a second aperture aligned with said first aperture and the received at least one hasp aperture;
• and
• a third plate member in said cavity intermediate said first and second plate members for further enclosing and dividing said cavity into a further cavity, said third plate member having a third aperture aligned with said first and second apertures and with the received at least one hasp aperture, all said apertures for receiving said shank therethrough, said first aperture being enlarged relative to said third aperture for receiving said head therethrough so that the received head is intermediate said first and third plate members, the head and locking body for locking the received hasp to the second and third plate members, the side walls, the second and third plate members and the latch cooperating to enclose said further cavity to preclude tampering access to said further cavity and received shank by said tampering tools.

Protection device for a latch hasp and bolt seal, the hasp having at least one aperture, said seal comprising 1) a shank having opposing ends, said shank for passing through said at least one aperture, 2) locking means for precluding passage of one shank end in a locked state through said at least one aperture and 3) a locking body selectively locked to the shank at an opposing shank end for locking the hasp therebetween, said device comprising:

• a housing including a plurality of side walls defining a cavity having a bottom, a top and a plurality of sides, said housing having an opening for receiving said hasp in said cavity, said side walls for enclosing the cavity at said sides, said latch for enclosing said opening to preclude access to the cavity through said opening with tampering tools;
• and
• at least one plate member for enclosing at least said bottom such that the side walls, said at least one plate member and the latch cooperate to enclose said cavity to preclude tampering access to said cavity and received shank by said tampering tools, said at least one plate member having a first aperture cooperating with said received at least one hasp aperture for receiving said shank therethrough, the locking means and locking body for locking the received hasp to the at least one plate member whereby said shank and received hasp between said locking means and said locking body are enclosed to preclude access to the shank by said tampering tools;
• said at least one plate member comprising first and second plate members, one of said side walls forming a rear wall, said opening being in said rear wall, said first plate member for enclosing said cavity top and the second plate member for enclosing the cavity bottom, each said plate members having said first aperture for receiving the shank therethrough, the second plate member aperture being enlarged for receiving and engaging a portion of said locking body;
• said second plate member being V-shaped with the apex of the V closest to the first plate member, the second plate member aperture being formed in said apex so that the second plate member and a portion of said side walls are coextensive forming a recess for receiving said locking body.
