Abstract

A casing that has a generally cylindrical configuration having a bottom side that includes a bottom side cavity. The bottom side has a topography that is generally a negative topography of a surface of an article with which the bottom side associates. The topography of the bottom side is defined by a plurality of offset surfaces that define raised edges, with the offset surfaces and resulting raised edges forming reliefs.

Claims

1. A casing, comprising:

a single piece, including;

a first portion having a generally cylindrical configuration with a top side, a first height and a side opening, including a bottom side that has a bottom side cavity;

the first height is defined from the top side of the first portion to the bottom side of the first portion; and

a second portion having a member that protrudes from the bottom side of the first portion;

the member extends at a second height from the bottom side of the first portion;

the second height defined from the bottom side of the first portion to a top of the member is equal to or greater than the first height of the first portion.

2. The casing as set forth in claim 1, wherein:

the casing is configured for one of right-handed and left handed operations.

3. The casing as set forth in claim 1, further comprising:

side apertures for coupling a cover with the casing that when closed, covers over the side opening.

10. The casing as set forth in claim 1, wherein:

the bottom side cavity has a beveled peripheral edge forming a recessed opening into the bottom side cavity, with a first side of peripheral edge having a wider beveled edge than a second side of peripheral edge.

11. The casing as set forth in claim 1, wherein:

the member has a side for obstructing a movement of an article while the second height enables the first portion to clear the article.

4. A casing, comprising:

a single piece, having;

a first portion having a generally cylindrical configuration with a top side, first height and a side opening, including a bottom side that has a bottom side cavity;

the first height is defined from the top side of the first portion to the bottom side of the first portion; and

a second portion having a member that protrudes from the bottom side of the first portion;

the member extends at a second height from the bottom side of the first portion;

the second height defined from the bottom side of the first portion to a top of the member is equal to or greater than the first height of the first portion;

wherein;

the member obstructs a movement of a lock assembly while the second height enables the first portion to clear the lock assembly.

5. The casing as set forth in claim 4, wherein:

the member includes a side that prevents the movement of the lock assembly from a closed position to an open position.

6. The casing as set forth in claim 4, wherein:

the bottom side cavity has a beveled peripheral edge forming a recessed opening into the bottom side cavity.

7. The casing as set forth in claim 4, further includes:

a retaining hole with an opening at a top of the member that leads to a side hole.

8. A hasp, comprising:

a single piece having;

a connection section, an accommodating section, and a locking section;

the connection section includes;

a first connection portion that has a first opening and a second connection portion that has a second opening;

the first connection portion and the first opening are oriented at a first angle in relation to the second connection portion and the second opening wherein the first connection portion and the second connection portion form a non-linear, connection section;

the accommodating section in combination with the connection section forms a channel;

the accommodating section includes;

a channel defined by the first connection portion of the connection section oriented parallel a single channel wall that extends parallel along the first connection portion only, and a single channel base;

the single channel base protrudes generally perpendicular from the connection section between the first connection portion and the second connection portion of the connection section; and

the single channel wall extends from the single channel base parallel first connection portion only but at a second angle, with a distal end of the single channel wall near the lock section being at a different elevation from the single channel base;

the lock section having a locking opening;

the lock section extending generally perpendicular from the distal end of the channel wall, but at a third angle, away from connection section.

9. The hasp as set forth in claim 8, wherein:

the accommodating section of the hasp houses a component of a lock assembly.
