CABLE LOCKING MECHANISM

摘要

A cable locking mechanism for use in a variety of cable locks that includes one or more locking clamps, a lever arm, a spring that biases the locking clamps, and an actuation means that engages the lever arm. When a cable is inserted into a cable passageway of a cable lock, the locking clamps secure the cable and prevent it withdrawal from the lock body. To remove the cable, the actuation means is deployed to move the lever arm, which engages and displaces the locking clamps along a sloped surface. The displacement of the locking clamps widens the cable passageway, thereby allowing the cable to move freely in and out of the lock body.
