ABSTRACT:
A locking device composed of two strips of metal bent into specific configurations, and a U-shaped baffle, to provide a tamper-proof assembly when emplaced on a lidded container. A first strip is fixed to the container by a concealed screw within the container. The second strip overlies the lid and includes a portion superposed over a portion of the one strip. The baffle is fixed to the second strip. The aforesaid portions of the strips are provided with registered holes through which the shackle of a padlock is threaded to lock the assemblage in place and prevent the opening of the lid. The baffle is couplable to the first strip and inhibits relative rotation of the strips about the common axis of the holes. The invention is applicable for locking any lidded boxes or containers, e.g. electric meter wiring cabinets, to prevent the tampering with elements within the box such as service wires interposing an electric meter between power lines and house lines.
