Abstract:
Method and apparatus to provide a weatherproof enclosure for one or more padlocks. The invention incorporates a weatherproof case cover and case body sized and shaped to house a plurality of padlocks together with the two looped ends of a cable that is used to secure a gate or other opening. Two donut shaped gaskets made of a resilient material are positioned on the cable in order that they make secure compressed contact with the case cover and case body when they are in a closed position. The case cover and case body are both shaped to receive the donut shaped gaskets at the points of contact and yet sufficiently compress the gaskets to form a weatherproof seal. The case cover and case body are sized and shaped in order that both have a channel at the point of contact between the case cover and case body. A gasket in two sections is positioned in the channel and is sized and shaped to be slightly compressed when the case cover and case body are in a closed position resulting in a continuation of the weatherproof seal.
