Hasp-type design

Hasp-type latch

A hasp-type latch includes a hasp member with a base having a base wall and a pair of upstanding side walls and a latch arm which is pivotally mounted thereon. The side walls of the pad include releasable latching elements which are engageable with the arm in its open position to hold it in that position. The staple member has a base with a top wall and a depending sidewall defining a cavity thereunder, and the top wall has an opening therethrough. A post member has a pedestal portion which extends through the opening into the cavity of the staple base, and a post portion which extends upwardly through the aperture in the arm in its closed position. The pedestal portion includes securing means in the cavity which extends outwardly beyond the opening in the top wall to prevent the post member from being pulled through that opening. Generally the post member is rotatable to locate an elongate axis so that it overlies a portion of the hinge leaf in the closed position and prevents its being pivoted upwardly. The post member may include an integrally formed lock such as combination locks and key locks to lock the post member in this latching position.

Hasp-type latch and method of making and using same

A hasp-type includes a hasp member with a base having a latch leaf is pivotally mounted thereon and has an aperture adjacent its free end. The staple member has a base with a top wall and a depending sidewall defining a cavity thereunder, and the top wall has an opening therethrough. A post member has a pedestal portion which extends through the opening into the cavity of the staple base, and a post portion which extends upwardly through the aperture in the arm in its closed position. The post member has an enlarged portion about its periphery and is rotatable to locate its elongate axis so that it overlies a portion of the latch leaf in the closed position and prevents its being pivoted upwardly. The post member includes a manipulatable releasable latch element engageable with the staple member in its latching position, and a combination lock on the post member precludes disengagement of the latch element when it is locked.

Hasp-type latch with combination lock

A drapery hook support glide is designed to be mountable on a traverse rod at any location along the length of the rod. It is provided with a rod engaging head portion having a longitudinal dimension greater than the width of the track slot in the rod to assure retentive engagement with the rod when the glide is in a vertical position and a transverse dimension that is less than the width of the track slot to permit easy mounting of the glide in a horizontal position. Additionally, the neck portion of the glide is provided with side flanges for engaging the track upon sidewise rotation of the glide out of its vertical position thereby preventing inadvertent movement into its horizontal position with the glide pendant aligned with the track slot.

Glide for drapery traverse rod

This invention relates to drapery rods having pendants or hangers for supporting drapes or curtains and more particularly to pendants which incorporate means for facilitating the attachment of drapery hooks thereto and for preventing the accidental disengagement of hooks once they are attached.
