A band-based lock is provided. The band-based lock may include a flexible band with a substantially thin profile and include inner metal layers and wires and/or jacketed metal layers so that the band may be more difficult to cut. The band-based lock may include a feed mechanism coupled to the flexible band. The feed mechanism may provide for the flexible band to be fed through the feed mechanism, putting the flexible band in a loop. The feed mechanism may allow the flexible band to be fed through the feed mechanism in one direction when in a tightening or locked position. The feed mechanism may allow this one-way feed through use of a pawl including one or more teeth engaging with teeth formed on the flexible band. In a release position, the feed mechanism may allow the flexible band to be fed backward through the feed mechanism opening the loop. |
