Definitions
- This invention is In the field of locking devices and related security products. ⁇ Background to he .invention
- the inventor is aware tha theft of goods in transit is a common problem and results in significant monetary losses.
- a locking mechanism including a spring - loaded: member comprising s body and a locking pin, wherein the locking pin is configured. to engage an aperture defined by a surface, the locking pin being biased to an engaged position by a. spring and wherein the body defines a threaded: surface for engaging the thread of a threaded key, the key configured to retract the locking pin through translation of torque and rotational motion on the key by user into a linear force on the spring loaded member, thereby causing said locking pin to disengage from the aperture defined by the surface and to remain in a disengaged position whil th key is engaged with the threaded surface of the body.
- the locking mechanism may include a housing.
- the threaded surface of the body for engaging the threaded key may be in the form of an extension of the body of the member and may be substantially elongate in form. Jt is to be understood from this specification that in another embodiment of the invention, the threaded surface of the bod for engaging the threaded key may be a surface of an aperture defined by ths body of the member.
- the threaded surface of th body and the threaded key may be left hand threaded.
- the threaded surface of the body and the threaded key may be a right hand thread.
- the locking pin may include guides to prevent the locking pin from rotating around its long axis.
- the locking pin may included . guides for preventing the locking pin from rotating relative to the housing.
- the locking pin may be threaded.
- the locking pin may be essentially elongate and may be circular In cross-section,
- the locking pin may be any suitable shape, including but not limited to a triangular or rectangular cross- section.
- the body may define an aperture, which may be threaded for engaging the threaded key.
- the locking mechanism may include a pressure washer for facilitating the retaining of the looking mechanism In the housing.
- the housing may be in the form of a first nut configured to receive a shank.
- the surface defining the aperture for receiving th locking pin may be a surface of a second nut
- the first nut may indu e a cuff for receiving the second nut and thereby limiting unauthorised access to the second nut.
- the shank may be generally elongate.
- the shank may he a generally cylindrical elongate and may include a tapered end.
- the shank may include a thread and may include a first threaded section and a second counter- threaded section.
- the first threaded section may include a larger diameter relative the second counter-threaded section.
- a first nut may have a larger dors diameter relative a second nut bore diameter.
- the first nut may include a thread and the second nut may include a counter-thread.
- the first nut may be shaped and dimensioned to engage with the first threaded section of the shank and the second nut may be shaped and dimensioned to engage with, the second counter-threaded section of the shank.
- the first nut is advances along the threaded portion of the shank to an engaged position.
- the locking mechanism housed in the first nut is shaped and dimensioned to lock the first nut relative the second nut, thereby to assist in limiting rotation and removal from the shank of the first and second nut.
- FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional drawing of the locking mechanism wherein the housing Is in the form of a nut;
- Figure 2 is a plan view of the key;
- Figure 3 is a cross-sectional drawing of another embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 4 is a cross-sectional drawing of yet another embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 5 is a cross-sectional through the locking mechanism, the first and the second nut.
- reference numeral 10 generally refers to a locking mechanism in accordance with the invention.
- a locking mechanism 10 including a spring loaded member 11 comprising, a body 12 and a locking pin 14, wherein the locking p n 14 Is configured to engage an aperture 18 defined by a surface 19 (see figure .5), the locking , pin 14 being biased to an engaged position by a spring and wherein the body 12 defines a threaded surface 20 for engaging the thread 36 of a threaded key 34, the key" 34 being configured to retract the locking pin 14 through the translation of torque and rotary motion on the key 34 by a user info a. linear force on the member 11 , thereby causing said locking pin 14 to disengage from the aperture IS defined by the surface 19 and to remain In a disengaged position (not shown) while the key 34 is engaged with the threaded surfac 20 of the body 1.2.
- a spring loaded member 11 comprising, a body 12 and a locking pin 14, wherein the locking p n 14 Is configured to engage an aperture 18 defined by a surface 19 (see figure .5), the locking , pin 14 being biased
- The. locking mechanism 10 includes a pressure washer 23 for facilitating the retaining of the locking mechanism 10 in ' the housing 56, in the embodiment show In the drawings, the locking mechanism 10 Includes a housing 26 which is in the form of a first nut 30.
- the threaded surface 20 of the body 12 and the threaded key 34 are left hand threaded.
- the locking pin 14 Is threaded, essentially elongate and circular in cross - section. in the embodiment of the invention shown in Figure i t 4 and 5, the threaded surface 20 of the body 12 engaging the threaded key 34 is in the fo m of an extension 21 which is substantially elongate in form.
- Figure 3 depicts an embodiment of the Invention where the body 12 defines an aperture 19, which is threaded 20, for engaging a modified embodiment of the threaded key (not shown).
- the first nut 30 is configured to receive a shank (not shown).
- the surface 19 defining the aperture 18 ( Figure 5) for receiving the iocking pin 14 is in the form of a second nut 44.
- the shank (not shown) is a cylindrical eiongate and includes a tapered end and a thread having a first threaded section and a second counter-threaded section. This first threaded section has a larger diameter relative to the second counter - threaded section.
- a first nut 30 has a larger bore diameter 31 relative to a second nufs 44 bore diameter 45.
- the first nut 30 includes a thread 32 and the second nut 44 includes a counter - thread 40.
- the ' first nut 30 is shaped and dimensioned to engage with the first threaded section of the shank (not shown) and the second nut 44 Is shaped and dimensioned to engage the second threaded section of the shank (not shown).
- the first nut 30 includes a cuff 42 for receiving the second nut 44, thereby limiting unauthorised access to the second nut 44,
- the first nut 30 is advanced along the threaded portion of the shank (not shown) to an engaged position.
- the locking mechanism 10 housed in the first nut 30 is shaped and dimensioned to lock the first nut 30 relative the second nut 44, thereby to assist in limiting rotation and removal from the shank of the first 30 and the second nut 44.
