Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0893562A1] The locking device has a flexible cord with its first end (4) firmly clamped in a generally triangular support element. The cord consists of a central wire inside a flexible tube, made e.g. of nylon and there is a spiral spring (3) which is wrapped around the outer diameter of the nylon tube. A tubular rubber sheath (17) surrounds the spring near the first end of the cord. This end of the cord is bent into a circle. The cord, without the rubber sheath, passes in a straight line through a passage in the support element. It may be locked in place by a spring-loaded (10) piston (9) which engages between two adjacent coils of the spring. The second end of the cord is fixed in a pull handle (14). Ultrasonic or electromagnetic sensors may be provided which detect any disturbance to the wire.
