Abstract
An everyday safe bag has a dual lock design. A cable is fixed at one end to a first end of the dual lock. The everyday safe bag has a plurality of small openings located at the open end of the bag that receive the cable there through. A fixed ball is affixed to the cable a first distance from the first end of the dual lock. A channel at a second end of the dual lock receives the fixed ball in a locked position, forming a first loop that cinches the bag closed. A lock fob channel located in a second end of the dual lock receives a lock fob on the other end of the cable in a locked position, forming a larger second loop, which may encompass a fixed object. Dials in the dual lock establish an unlock position or combination that secures and releases the cable.
Claims20
An apparatus for securing items comprising:
- a body containing a dual lock within the body, wherein a first lock mechanism is located at a first end within the body, and a second lock mechanism is located at a second end within the body;
- a cable fixed at a first end to the first end of the body;
- a lock fob located at a second end of the cable;
- a bag having an open end, and a plurality of openings located at the open end of the bag, wherein the plurality of openings receive the lock fob and cable there through;
- a fixed ball affixed to the cable at a first distance from the first end of the cable;
- a channel located in the second end of the body, the channel receiving the fixed ball in a first locked position and a first unlocked position in the second lock mechanism;
- a lock fob channel located in the first end of the body for receiving the lock fob in a second locked position and in a second unlocked position in the first lock mechanism;
- and
- at least one dial in the body, the at least one dial movable between the first and second locked positions and the first and second unlocked positions of the first and second lock mechanisms;
- wherein items are secured within the bag when the fixed ball is received in the channel at the second end of the body in the first locked position of the second lock mechanism which closes the open end of the bag.
An apparatus for securing items comprising:
- a body containing a dual lock within the body, wherein a first lock mechanism is located at a first end within the body, and a second lock mechanism is located at a second end within the body;
- a cable fixed at a first end to the first end of the body;
- a lock fob located at a second end of the cable;
- a bag having an open end, and a plurality of openings located at the open end of the bag, wherein the plurality of openings receive the lock fob and cable there through;
- a hub affixed to the cable at a first distance from the first end of the cable;
- a hub channel located in the second end of the body, the hub channel receiving the hub in a first locked position and a first unlocked position in the second lock mechanism;
- a lock fob channel located in the first end of the body for receiving the lock fob in a second locked position and in a second unlocked position in the first lock mechanism;
- at least one dial in the body, the at least one dial movable between the first and second locked positions and the first and second unlocked positions of the first and second lock mechanisms;
- and
- a buttonon one end of the body, wherein pressing the button releases the hub from the first locked position in the second lock mechanism and also releases the lock fob from the second locked position in the first lock mechanism;
- wherein items are secured within the bag when the hub is received in the hub channel at the second end of the body in the first locked position of the second lock mechanism which closes the open end of the bag.
A method for securing items, the method comprising:
- (a) inserting a lock fob attached to a second end of a cable through a plurality of openings in an open end of a bag, wherein a first end of the cable is secured to a first end of a body;
- (b) passing the lock fob and a secure portion of the cable through a hub channel located in a second end of the body until a hub affixed to the cable at a first distance from the first end of the cable passes into the hub channel in a first locked position in a second lock mechanism, which closes the open end of the bag securing items placed within the bag;
- (c) passing the secure portion of the cable around an object;
- and
- (d) inserting the lock fob into a lock fob channel located in the first end of the body in a second locked position in a first lock mechanism which secures the bag to the object.
