Abstract:
1. A lock structure for lockably attaching and detaching to a lock hole associated with an object to be secured, comprising: a rotatable fastener for connecting to the lock hole, the rotatable fastener having an extension portion and a retaining portion disposed at the distal end of the extension portion, the extension portion defining an axis along its length and about which the rotatable fastener rotates, the retaining portion having a length and a width, the length being greater than width and the length being oriented perpendicular to the axis; a driving portion axially aligned with and interconnected to the rotatable fastener at the opposite end of the rotatable fastener from the retaining portion, the driving portion linearly movable between a first position and a second position; and, a lock body coupled to the driving portion, the lock body having a locked state and an unlocked state; wherein when the lock body moves from an unlocked state to a locked state, the linear movement of the driving portion causes the rotatable fastener to rotate about the axis which causes the retaining portion to rotate from an unlocked position to a locked position.
