Giving a method of application for padlock which is attached to a cylindrical tube or a square shape body housing by way of example only, for maintaining full security. The relationship of housing is constructed of 2 halves which have a elongate locking taper provided on rim side both mating shells male or female which slide together creating a watertight seal this also provides a means of sliding the embodiment article over the cord plus plug that is a molded onto the electrical cord in most cases furthermore there is a rubber seal on one of the shells which creates pressure on the taper joint this also helps to put friction on the two shell halves so they slide with a tight fit.

Once the two halves slide together creating a cylinder the opposite end to the door opening there is a hole provided for the electrical cord to slide through, there is a lip which provides a soft rubber seal that comes in contact with the electrical cord creating a waterproof seal. The two halves shells independently each have a fin which is incorporated at the opposite end of the door opening. Directly on these fins is a mounting hole placement on each said Fin. A said attachment strap by way of example can be fixed to at least one of the shells on one of the fins fastened by a rivet or screw attachment given that on the opposite end of the strap is a hook or attachment device that can be removed quickly enabling ll\ITFi_i.EHn (At PROPERTY OFFICE OF i\|.Z 1 7 MAR 2005 ft L C E IV E D the strap to disengage. On at least one half of a shell there is a gap insert instep at the door opening end which allowances are made for the door hinge movement, contrary to this the gap insert also lets trapped water escape when the device is hung by the strap which retains the extension cord safely. On at least one other adjacent shell there precludes a tongue which extends forward giving allowances for the door thickness to pass which a hole aperture supplied for a fastening for a padlock. Accompanying this tongue embodiment a large hole generally more of to middle position of the shell for accompanying a large padlock to fixed to another object as anchorage. Preferably the door is shaped round with a step up Ridge, accompanying this on the door a slot which makes clearance for a electrical lead to slide enabling a padlock to be fastened through the hole. The accommodating slot also allowing the tongue to pass through a upward shaped angle which allows the door to shut level in line with upward force the round door preferably described by way of example, which is one hinge pin for the centrally controlled door. According to another aspect of the present invention is provided a method of controlling of a linked strap attached to the housing of the security device while maintaining a Anchorage lockable point on the housing security cylinder. 2 FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention generally relates to a security casement device with a padlock locking door which surrounds a article user electrical plug with a lead attached.

It is an object of the present invention to address the foregoing needs and problems or at least to provide the public with a useful choice. Further aspects and advantage of the present invention will become apparent from the described description which is given by way of example only. 'tf BRIEF DESCRIPTON OF THE DRAWING The invention will be described in Greater detail below and with reference to the enclosed drawings, which are indicative but not blinding, and where: Fig, 1 shows a prospective of the device; Fig, 2 shows a side view incorporating two halves accompanied with a front door opening placement with a rear view and exposed cross-section.

Fig, 3 shows bottom view and top view of the device incorporating also cross-section of rubber seal housing at the Rear.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The invention device in question consists of a central body elongated container constructed of two halves, incorporating a hinged front opening door with construction made of heavy plastic or mental, representing the construction by way of example on fig 1.2.3 drawings, indicated by (1) with reference to top shell. To indicate to bottom shell represented by, (2) on accompanying drawings, these two halves are connected by the way of a ball socket joint method that slides together creating a lock joint, fig 2, (27) (28) with the opposing ball connected to each other by a tongue groove construction slot system sliding together lengthwise along the elongated cylindrical container, on at least one half of the shells face fig (2) shown here as (23a) (23b) I) Jf on each side lengthwise ridge there is a groove below the socket which contains a soft rubber seal, creating a water tight seal given that forming together of the two shells construction creates a spherical shape although this does not exclude other spherical, elliptical, ellipsoidal, octagonal, cylindrical shapes, given that which may be necessary for strength and security. On the central body top shell fig 1, a protruding attached top extended beam (4) with a curved radius front (29) extending down to front place (26) for smooth application of door locking combined as part of construction shell with a said locking hole mechanism (18) for mounting a padlock, accompanying along the body this beam support by means of a second hole is a point of at least one said mounting point (17) for accompanying a second padlock for external fixture, this mounting point given that it may from the point of axis which could have at least multiple hole's given by way of example, accompanying this beam is a angle slope (31) which reconnects to the surface point of the main body top shell. The rear contour angles of both acquiring shells (9a & 9b) create the mounting protruding platform brackets position on opposite slides (5 & 6) given that accompanying these protruding mounting brackets are the fixture strap points hole's described by (22a & 22b) given that at least one said hole end is a holding point for a strap with a hook fastening device (29) which is connected to strap (20) with adequate length for a electrical extension cord support with the respective of a screw or rivet fastening (19) to at least one end of shell given by way of example. The device in its assembled elongated cylindrical shape has a entry centre point hole opposite the door end for a electrical extension cord -r view fig, 3 (34) given that shown accompanying cross-section split views of two opposite soft rubber water tight overlapping seals (32 a & b) when transmitted pressure points creates a seat, with respective a radius housing in conjunction for seal support (7 & 8) accompanying both shells of the device. According to the preferred embodiment of the invention a device front door opening (3) preferably round given by way of example, has an opening transfer passage slot (12) which pertains a radius end (13) past the elongated center axis for a allowance of a electrical lead. According to another aspect the transfer passage slot which accommodates the extended front Ridge (16) making conventional means for the opening hinged door to slide past accommodating the hole (18) to be secured once the doorway is closed. Preferably on this doorway opening a means of a Ridge (11) which will align the door for closure when inserting inside the vessel, wherein the method described will substantially add security to the vessel. Described accompanying this door (3) a formed curvature (15) which provides the hinged door insertion flushed fitting the structure vessel opening, where over when the door structure is open the accommodating formed curvature (15) increases the internal radius clearance by allowing internal article electrical plug room for removal (by way of example). Provided for this doorway is a mounting slot (14) which accommodates the structure of the door providing an anchorage hinge (given by way of example) which is secured by a pin mount axle (30) which is fastened to the said casement shell (2) given that it runs horizontal where in parallel to Mf the face front (25) structure. Indicated on fig, 3. Representing the wall structure exploded view (33a & 33b) which is typically of a thickness to generate substantial strength for a protective internal device plug, it should also be appreciated that the structure of this device is of a tensile strength for adequate security given that security lock hole provided will indicate that magnitude of strength in the direction of the load of the door.

The foregoing describes the preferred aspects of the present invention to be described by way of example only and it should be appreciated that modifications will be obvious to those skilled in the art given that additions may be made thereto without departing from the scope thereof as defined in the accompanying claims.
