Abstract:
An arrangement for securing an object, comprising:A. a cable having a cable head, a first stem portion extending out from the cable head, a collar portion at the first stem portion spaced and away from the cable head, and a second stem portion extending out from the collar portion;B. a prismatic lock body comprising:(i) a locking detent, a push button operable by a user for setting the locking detent in a locking position,(ii) front, rear and two side surfaces;(iii) first, second and third bores formed respectively at the front and two side surfaces, the bores having respective axes in a common plane, and each bore having a cross-section slightly larger than a cross-section of the collar portion, so that the locking detent is insertable between the collar and the cable head and above the first stem portion upon operation of the push button for thus precluding extraction of the cable head from one of the bores when the cable head is inserted into the one bore and(iv) a fourth bore formed at the rear surface of the lock body, the fourth bore being so placed that upon insertion of the cable head into the first bore, the collar portion becomes so located that the locking detent may set in the locking position between the cable head and the collar portion, and the second stem portion passes through the fourth bore and projects from the lock body to interact with a structure on the object to secure the lock body to the object.
