Abstract
Abstract The hasp plate has swingably associated therewith the inner end portion of a novel type of strap of shackle-like formation with the extremities of its legs extending through slots therefor in the hasp plate and being engaged below the under-surface of the plate by a recess-accommodated, non-accessible hinge pin. Similarly the legs of the staple eye extend through slots therefor in the staple plate and are held against withdrawal by a non-accessible pin seated in a recess in the under-surface of the staple plate. Both the hasp strap and the staple eye may be easily assembled with their respective plates in a simple and expeditious manner.
