ABSTRACT:
A device for releasably locking a lever-type load binder in the closed or tightened position includes a length of cable or other suitable flexible material with a loop formed in one end. The cable passes through an opening in an abutment plate, such that the abutment plate can slide along the cable between a pair of spaced stop members fixed to the cable near its free end. When a lever-type load binder is engaged with a load-securing chain, the locking device may be used to lock the lever in the closed position by passing the loop end of the cable through a selected chain link adjacent to the lever, extending the free end of the cable around the load binder lever, and then passing the abutment plate and the tree end of the cable through the loop such that the loop is disposed behind the abutment plate, with the abutment plate preventing the loop from moving toward the free end of the cable. The locking device may be removed by angularly orienting the abutment plate so that it can be pushed back through the loop.
