ABSTRACT:
A one-piece high-security cable type seal-lock having a locking body (10) consisting of: A length of multi-stranded cable (50) having one cable end (51) permanently attached to locking body (10) within a through hole identified as fixed cable hole (11). A longitudinal cylindrical through hole (14) running approximately parallel to fixed cable hole (11) and having a centrally located annular recessed groove, thereby creating center expansion cavity (25). A locking pin (40) is held in place within locking body (10) and positioned approximately perpendicular to, and centrally located above, free cable end (52). When installed, locking pin (40) is forcibly pushed down until it pierces free cable end (52) thereby staking the cable in place and simultaneously creating cable bulge (53). The enlarged diameter of cable bulge (53) within center expansion cavity (25) is unable to be removed from locking body (10) via the lessor diameters of adjacent first guide hole (20) or second guide hole (22). Thus, permanently securing the one-piece pierce-lock double-engagement cable-seal in place.
