Patent ID: 7096696

Claim:
An accessory locking device comprising: a locking plate having a first aperture sized to receive an elongated flexible securement means securable to a stationary object and a second aperture having an elongated slot extending therefrom, said slot having a width; at least one attachment cable having a proximal end permanently attached to said locking plate and a distal end extending therefrom, said attachment cable comprising at least two steel cords in a spaced apart parallel arrangement encased in a unitary flexible plastic casing extending between said proximal end and said distal end, said flexible plastic casing having a substantially flat configuration and having a width less than said width of said slot and sized to be freely positionable in said slot; said at least one attachment cable including at least one locking lug attached thereto wherein said locking lug is sized for closely aligned insertion into said second aperture; said at least one attachment cable further including at least one cable crimp attached thereto sized for closely aligned insertion into said second aperture and having a width greater than said width of said slot, and locking means selectively insertable into said second aperture and movable between locked and unlocked positions, said locking means including a locking member configured to prevent movement of said at least one locking lug through said second aperture when said locking means is in said locked position; whereby said locking means is placed in an unlocked position, and said distal end of said at least one attachment cable is wrapped around an item to be locked and inserted into said second aperture and said at least one attachment cable is transversed for placement into said slot, whereupon said locking member of said locking means is placed in said locked position thus preventing the withdrawal of said locking lug from said second aperture, and a flexible elongated securement means is inserted through said first aperture and secured using a locking means to prevent removal of said locking plate from said securement means and said securement means secured to a stationary structure, thereby locking the item to the stationary structure.
