Abstract

A device for releasably locking a lever-type load binder in the closed or tightened position includes a length of cable or other suitable flexible material with a loop formed in one end. The cable passes through an opening in an abutment plate, such that the abutment plate can slide along the cable between a pair of spaced stop members fixed to the cable near its free end. When a lever-type load binder is engaged with a load--securing chain, the locking device may be used to lock the lever in the closed position by passing the loop end of the cable through a selected chain link adjacent to the lever, extending the free end of the cable around the load binder lever, and then passing the abutment plate and the free end of the cable through the loop such that the loop is disposed behind the abutment plate, with the abutment plate preventing the loop from moving toward the free end of the cable. The locking device may be removed by angularly orienting the abutment plate so that it can be pushed back through the loop.

Claims (16)

1. A locking device for releasably securing an object, said device comprising:

(a) an elongate flexible member having a first end and a second end, with a closed loop being formed in the flexible member at said second end;

(b) an abutment plate having an opening, said abutment plate being slidably retained on the flexible member in a selected region spaced away from the loop, with the flexible member passing through the opening in the abutment plate; and (c) first and second stop members fixed to the flexible member at a selected spacing, one on each side of the abutment plate, so as to limit the range of sliding movement of the abutment plate along the flexible member, said first stop member being positioned between the abutment plate and the first end of the flexible member, and said second stop member being positioned between the abutment plate and the second end of the flexible member;

wherein the loop and the abutment plate are configured such that the abutment plate, the first end of the flexible member, and the first stop member can be passed through the loop, allowing the loop to be positioned between the abutment plate and the second stop member.
2. The locking device of Claim 1 wherein the flexible member is a twisted cable.
3. The locking device of Claim 2 wherein the cable is a galvanized steel cable.
4. The locking device of Claim 1, 2, or 3 wherein the loop is formed by folding the second end of the flexible member against an inner portion of the flexible member, and fixing said second end thereto.
5. The locking device of Claim 4 wherein the second end of the flexible member is fixed to the inner portion of the flexible member by means of a crimped metal sleeve.
6. The locking device of Claim 1 wherein the abutment plate is a round disc.
7. The locking device of Claim 1 wherein the abutment plate is a rectilinear plate.
8. The locking device of Claim 1 wherein the abutment plate is of ovate shape.
9. The locking device of Claim 1 wherein the abutment plate is a polygonal plate having at least four sides.
10. The locking device of Claim 1 wherein each of the stop members is a sleeve extending around the flexible member and crimped thereto.
11. The locking device of Claim 10 wherein the sleeve is made from metal.
12. The locking device of Claim 11 wherein the metal is aluminum.
13. The locking device of Claim 1, further comprising a terminal stop member at the first end of the flexible member.
14. The locking device of Claim 13 wherein the terminal stop member is a sleeve extending around the flexible member and crimped thereto.
15. The locking device of Claim 13 wherein the sleeve is made from metal.
16. The locking device of Claim 13 wherein the metal is aluminum.
