CABLE WRAP SECURITY DEVICE

摘要

A security device includes a locking member, a ratchet mechanism, and a plurality of cables. The cables are wrapped around all six sides of a box-like article. An attachment clip is releasably snap-fitted into the body of the security device and locked therein by a magnetically attractable member. The ratchet mechanism includes a spool and a locking pawl or lever. A top wall of the housing or locking clip has a key receiving recess for positioning the key for unlocking the clip from the housing and releasing the spool from the ratchet mechanism. The spool is biased by an internal spring to take up cable slack or to automatically wind the cable onto the spool after the clip has been unlocked from the housing. The housing has a rotatable handle for manually rotating the internal spool to further tighten the cable about the article.
