ABSTRACT:
A device that can be easily and temporarily locked onto a video cassette to prevent insertion of said video cassette into video equipment. Said device consists of a stiff but flexible locking band 2 shaped to fit widthwise around a video cassette, provisions for securing said locking band 2 onto said video cassette 12, and a retainer cylinder 8 that fits into on cassette reel socket 18 of said video cassette. Holes 6 in front tabs 4 of locking band 2 allow a padlock or other locking device to secure said tabs 4 together, which prevents unauthorized removal of the device. Locking band 2 and retainer cylinder mounting pin 10 will not allow the video cassette to fit into video equipment, which prevents use of said video cassette until the device is removed.
