Abstract
A padlock and chain connecting apparatus has a pair of identical elongate plates of uniform width, each with a first portion extending from a first end, a second portion extending from a second end, and a step between the first and second portions. Each plate has first opening adjacent the first end for engagement over a padlock shackle and a second opening adjacent the second end for receiving a permanent fastener. The second portion has an inclined notch extending inwardly from a first side. In the secured condition, the second portions of the plates are in face to face engagement with the first portions spaced apart and the aligned first openings engaged over a padlock shackle, the notches overlapped to define a securing orifice through which a link of a chain is trapped, and a permanent fastener secured through the aligned second openings to secure the plates together.
