Abstract
Abstract A locking device for skis or the like comprises two lengths of cable having loops formed at their remote ends and an intervening length of chain. By inserting the free ends of the cables through appropriate links in the chain and thereafter locking the free ends together, the size of the loops can be adjusted so that objects to be locked together can be snugly embraced by the opposite cable lengths.
