Abstract
An inexpensive cable locking mechanism adapted for use with a conventional padlock which is comprised of a male handle portion having a pair of apertures extending axially therethrough, a tubular female member adapted for threaded engagement with the male portion and having a pair of apertures in the extended end thereof, and a flexible cable. The cable extends through one of the apertures in the handle, through the tubular female portion and out one of the apertures in the extended end thereof, loops about the object or objects to be secured and extends back through the other aperture in the extended end of the female member, through the tubular portion thereof and out the other aperture in the male handle portion of the lock. Upon pulling the extended loop tightly about the object to be secured and rotating the male handle portion of the lock with respect to the female portion, the cord is tightly twisted within the tubular portion of the female member thereby preventing withdrawal of the cord through either the apertures in the locking handle or the apertures in the female portion of the locking mechanism. The tubular female portion of the locking mechanism is provided with a flange having an aperture therein adapted to receive the shackle on a padlock which, when secured, is operative between the male handle portion and tubular female portion of the lock to prevent relative movement therebetween, thereby securing the cable loop in place about the secured object or objects.
