Double locking security apparatus

Claim 2

A double locking security apparatus comprising: an extended length of a continuous constant diameter cable having a pair of ends; a first loop attached to one of said ends and a second loop attached to the other of said ends; and a third loop connected to said continuous cable intermediate said first and second loops, said third loop being an integral part of said continuous cable and forming a full circle, said continuous cable being extendable around an article and the shackle of a padlock is to be passed through each of said loops thereby creating two separate locking areas within the confines of said continuous cable.

Claim 3

A double locking security apparatus comprising: an extended length of a continuous constant diameter cable having a pair of ends; a first loop attached to one of said ends and a second loop attached to the other of said ends; and a third loop connected to said continuous cable intermediate said first and second loops, said third loop being an integral part of said continuous cable and forming a full circle, said continuous cable being extendable around an article and the shackle of a padlock is to be passed through each of said loops thereby creating two separate locking areas within the confines of said continuous cable.

Claim 4

A double locking security apparatus comprising: an extended length of a continuous constant diameter cable having a pair of ends; a first loop attached to one of said ends and a second loop attached to the other of said ends; and a third loop connected to said continuous cable intermediate said first and second loops, said third loop being an integral part of said continuous cable and forming a full circle, said continuous cable being extendable around an article and the shackle of a padlock is to be passed through each of said loops thereby creating two separate locking areas within the confines of said continuous cable.

Claim 5

Apparatus as defined in claim 1 wherein: said third loop being located approximately oNe-fourth of the total cable length from one of said ends.

Claim 6

Apparatus as defined in claim 1 wherein: said cable constructed of a plurality of separate preformed and twisted strands, said cable when at rest comprising a plurality of self-coiling helical coils located between said first and second loops in order to shorten the distance between said loops when said device is not in use, said helical coils permitting said loops to extend apart a distance of substantially that of the total cable length in order to extend said cable.

Claim 7

A locking security apparatus for locking together two articles to prevent substantial movement of one relative to the other, said apparatus comprising: a cable adapted to interconnect each of said articles, said cable constructed of a plurality of separate preformed and twisted strands; said cable having a loop at each end adapted to receive a locking means placed through both of said loops; said cable when at rest comprising a plurality of self-coiling helical coils located between said loops in order to shorten the distance between said loops when said device is not in use; said helical coils permitting said loops to be extended apart a distance substantially that of the total cable length in order to extend said cable the distance to interconnect said articles so that said loops are located adjacent one another for receiving said locking means; and an intermediate loop connected to said cable intermediate said loops at each said end, said intermediate loop being integral with said continuous cable and forming a full circle, said locking means to be also received within said intermediate loop, whereby within the confines of said cable there is created two separate locking areas.

Claim 8

A locking security apparatus for locking together two articles to prevent substantial movement of one relative to the other, said apparatus comprising: a cable adapted to interconnect each of said articles, said cable constructed of a plurality of separate preformed and twisted strands; said cable having a loop at each end adapted to receive a locking means placed through both of said loops; said cable when at rest comprising a plurality of self-coiling helical coils located between said loops in order to shorten the distance between said loops when said device is not in use; said helical coils permitting said loops to be extended apart a distance substantially that of the total cable length in order to extend said cable the distance to interconnect said articles so that said loops are located adjacent one another for receiving said locking means; and an intermediate loop connected to said cable intermediate said loops at each said end, said intermediate loop being integral with said continuous cable and forming a full circle, said locking means to be also received within said intermediate loop, whereby within the confines of said cable there is created two separate locking areas.

Claim 9

Apparatus as defined in claim 4 wherein: a plastic covering means surrounding said cable to thereby prevent said cable from marring painted surfaces.

Claim 10

Apparatus as defined in claim 5 wherein: said plastic covering comprising a covering of material surrounding said cable in a tight-fitting manner.

Claim 11

Apparatus as defined in claim 6 wherein: said wires forming said cable will be constructed of metallic material and of a diameter within the range of 0.005 and 0.012 inches.

Claim 12

Apparatus as defined in claim 7 wherein: the diameter of said cable being substantially three-sixteenths of an inch.
