LOCKING MECHANISM WITH ANTI-ROTATION
A locking device comprises a shackle having a body portion and legs extending therefrom with distal ends each having a foot portion; a tubular housing having an internal cavity and spaced first openings in the wall thereof on one side, the openings being adapted to receive the foot portion of the legs in a shackle hold position; and a mechanism for locking the foot portions in the hold position. Each foot portion has an anti-rotation portion of non-circular cross section, and a plate held within the housing cavity having an opening of matching non- circular cross section is aligned with each of the respective first openings for receiving the anti-rotation portion of a foot portion in the shackle hold position, two sides of which plate engage the inner wall of the housing to restrict its rotation about the axis of said foot portion. Each shackle leg will normally have a tip portion at the distal end of the foot portion and in some embodiments the wall of the tubular housing has second openings in the wall thereof opposite and aligned with the first openings.
