ABSTRACT:
A storage drum security apparatus (10) is provided to secure the apertures (24,26) on a storage drum or barrel (12). The apparatus (10) includes a large aperture subassembly (14) and a small aperture subassembly (16) which are interconnected by a securing bar subassembly (18). The first bung member (28) is provided with a post member (40) which extends upward through an isolator member (56) to engage a post receiving hole (98) formed in a flattened portion (92) of the securing bar (90) while the second bung member (66) includes a ball portion (80) on a neck (78) which mates with ball receiving structure (102) in the tubular portion (94) of the securing bar (90). This relationship prevents access to turn either of the bung members (28,66) while the securing bar (90) is in place. The securing bar (90) is also adapted to be used as a wrench to turn both the bung members (28,66 ) when desired. The primary usage of the apparatus (10) is in connection with conventional 55 gallon drums, wherein the apparatus (10) is useful in preventing petty pilferage and spillage, but is also adaptable for use in other circumstances wherein it is desirable to secure spaced-apart coplanar apertures.
