Claim 14:
15. A locking assembly comprising:
a housing including a front portion and a rear portion, the front portion including an aperture revealing an interior of the housing, the rear portion including a recess;
a locking actuation member disposed through the aperture and mounted within the interior of the housing, the locking actuation member including a keyway;
a locking bar received by the recess of the housing, the locking bar including a serrated edge;
an elastic member configured such that, in an unbiased state, the elastic member selectively engages the serrated edge of the locking bar;
a first driver coupled to the locking actuation member and including a first cam; and
a second driver including a first surface and a second surface, the first surface opposite to the second surface, the first surface including a groove configured to receive the first cam, the second surface including a second cam and a third cam extending therefrom,
wherein when an operating key is inserted into the keyway and rotated the first cam rides in the groove of the second driver to rotate the second driver and, when the second driver is rotated in a first direction, the second cam makes contact with the elastic member to bias the elastic member into the serrated edge of the locking bar securing the locking bar to the housing, and when the second driver is rotated in a second direction, the third cam makes contact with the elastic member to bias the elastic member away from the serrated edge of the locking bar to allow the locking bar to be withdrawn from the housing.
