ABSTRACT:
A Lock-less Equipment Cable Security System (LECS) is used to secure from theft equipment loaded on vehicles with locking compartments. The cable can be used to secure equipment to any facility or equipment that has a hollow compartment large enough to enclose the balls, with a lockable cove door, lid, or window and physical space tolerance for the cable insertion through the closure. A plastic-coated steel security cable without attachments such as cable end-collars and security locks is threaded through equipment loaded on a vehicle. Then each cable end is threaded through a solid ball manufactured with 2 holes drilled at an angle and size sufficiently small to prevent the cable from releasing the balls when pulled on. The cable ends with attached balls are then locked in a vehicle compartment, securing the loaded equipment. The balls have holes drilled in them in such a manner that they will not detach from the cable without being held and the cable unthreaded. The balls' physical size prevents them from being pulled through a door, hood, or trunk closure seam.
