Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device for locking a movable component of an aircraft. The device includes an electronic tag adapted for receiving a polling signal and returning an identification signal. The present invention also involves an on-board system allowing for detection of such locking devices.
Abstract:
The lock assembly has a lock housing assembly, a driven assembly and a lock core. The driven assembly and the lock core are mounted in the lock housing assembly. The driven assembly has a connector and is selectively engaged to the lock core to allow the connector to be rotated to lock or unlock an object. The connector is able to lock two objects together or can connect an object to a stationary fixture with an optional cable, and the connector can be changed so a lock manufacturer can use this lock assembly to make many different kinds of locks.
Abstract:
A Locking Device To Prevent Door Removal (10) is provided to prevent theft of a type of door having a hinge pin fixedly attached to the door and a hinge bracket bolted to the door frame housing with bolt holes extending into the door frame housing. The device replaces one of the standard bolts, used to secure the hinge bracket, with an Elongated Bolt (12). A Blocking Piece (20) with a Blocking Piece Through-Hole (38) is positioned over the Elongated Bolt (12) and locked in place with a Padlock (42). The Shackle (40) of the Padlock (42) extends through a Bolt Through-Hole (18) in the Elongated Bolt (12). The Blocking Piece (20) blocks the hinge pin from being lifted out of the hinge sleeve. The Padlock (42) both holds the Blocking Piece (20) against movement and prevents the Elongated Bolt (12) from being removed.

Abstract:
A lock including a lock body, lock cylinder, a threaded member and an engagement member. The engagement member moves within the lock body to engage the threaded member in at least two different positions. One of the positions allows the lock threaded member to be tightened onto a corresponding threaded connection and then locked into place, thereby securing the object which contains the threaded connection. Another one of the positions allows the lock threaded to be loosened from the corresponding threaded connection and thereby allows the lock to be removed from the object which contains the threaded connection.

Abstract:
A device for securing the tailgate of a pickup truck, so that it can not be removed by unauthorized persons. The device is made of three steel assemblies, one of which is fitted over a tailgate extension, using the extension as an anchor for holding the device in place. A second assembly, acting as a clamp, is attached to the first by a fixed bolt and a nut. The clamp, presses on the side wall of the pickup truck, pulling the tailgate to it. Attached to the nut is a tube that holds a lock plug. When a lock plug is inserted in the tube, the nut can not be rotated and loosened. The lock plug is a cylinder lock, locked by a key and protected against weather by a plastic cap. In design, the locking device is massive, weatherproofed and although open to access, is not susceptible to cutting, breaking or damage such as sustained in unauthorized removal, without causing damage to paint finish of the tailgate which is being appropriated without the owner'permission, and has no resale value in less than 100% perfect condition.
