ABSTRACT:
A closure fastener comprising a hasp and a cooperating staple. The hasp is slidably engageable with a mount and the staple is slidably engageable with another mount. Upon coupling the hasp and the staple and applying a lock thereto, the hasp and the staple are captively retained such that the two are prevented from disengaging from their respective mounts. Alternatively, the hasp and the staple are provided with a hook and the mounts each include a biasing mechanism to bias the hooks into engagement with their respective mounts. In this arrangement, the hasp and the staple must each be intentionally released from their respective mounts. In each embodiment, a stop mechanism is provided to limit the travel of tongue and the base through their respective mounts. The hasp and staple can be formed made from sheet metal blanks. The mount for the staple and hasp can be formed as a universal mount from a zigzag shaped sheet metal blank. The staple can be formed from a U-shaped sheet metal blank. All the parts of the closure fastener can be stamped or cast from plastic or metal or forged from metallic material.
