<p>A universal electronics lock (10) has an inner cylinder (20) and an outer cylinder (40). The outer cylinder (40) slidingly fits over the inner cylinder (20). The outer cylinder (40) is equipped with a lock cylinder (62) that has an axially-movable latch (64). When the latch (64) is in one position, it clears an inwardly-directed ridge (27) defined within the inner cylinder (20). The lock (10) is then in the "unlocked" position. When the latch (64) is in a second position when rotated by a turning of a key (67), the latch (64) is disposed behind a portion of the ridge (27) and the lock (10) is in the "locked" position. The universal electronics lock (10) of the present invention allows rotation about a fastener (12), thus making the lock (10) difficult to cut or saw through.</p> |
