ABSTRACT:
A locking ring includes an annular split ring portion with a U-shaped cross section and resiliently separable end portions, with each end formed into an L-shaped wall portion terminating in a serration. When the ends of the locking ring are brought together, the serrations intermesh, and the wall portions form a rectangular enclosure. Substantially solid front and rear housings portions, each containing a hole for receiving a barrel lock and an external groove, fit into the enclosure. The rear housing portion is attached to one wall portion, with its external groove fitting over the rear lip of the U-shaped cross section of the enclosure. The front housing portion is attached to the other wall portion, with its groove fitting over the front lip. When the locking ring is closed, the front housing portion slides over the rear housing portion until the lock receiving holes align. The locking ring also includes a replaceable seal retainer.
