ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a locking device for the securing against unauthorized removal of an article of manufacture of the type having an elongated groove therein with a re-entrant channel in at least one side wall of a groove for receiving one or more locking pins therein. The groove will also have a widened section therein defining an entry/exitway leading to the re-entrant channel from the exterior of the article. The locking device according to the invention includes a pair of relatively movable rigid members with at least one of the members having a locking pin therein which is adapted to enter into the groove via the above-noted entry/exitway and to engage in the re-entrant channel within the groove a desired distance away from the entry/exitway so as to prevent unwanted removal from the groove. The other of the rigid members is adapted to be locked in a selected position with respect to the first-noted member such that said at least one member is securely retained within said groove.
