Steel Cage to Hold and Secure Objects

Abstract

A cover is closed on five sides and open on a sixth side, allowing a case to be slid into the cavity formed by the five closed sides. The cover has a continuous band that encircles the cavity into which the case slides, and a back band that connects to top portion of the band to the bottom portion and serves as a stop for the case. A hasp or plate secures the front of the cover, preventing a thief from opening the case to remove its contents and from pulling the case out of the cover. The cover can be solid, made from steel or another hard substance, and can also be mesh. The cover has bolt holes or other devices by which the cover can be secured to a large object such as the bed of a pickup truck.

What I claim is: 
     
         1 . A cover for a case, where the cover has a top, a bottom, two sides, a back and a front, where the top, the bottom, the two sides and the back are closed, and the front is open, thereby creating a cavity into which a case removably fits, and a closure, where the closure extends from the top to the bottom of the case, and removably secures the case into the cover, where the closure comprises a hasp, where the hasp is hingeably connect to the bottom at a hinge, and where the hasp has a hasp slot, where the hasp slot mates with a loop, where the loop is located on the top, such that when the hasp slot is rotated through the loop, a padlock is placed on the loop to secure the case in the cover, where the bottom comprises one or more bolt holes, where one or more bolts can be inserted through the one or more bolt holes to secure the cover to a larger object, where the large object has one or more bolt receivers, and there the one or more bolts mate with the one or more bolt receivers,
 wherein the top and bottom are connected to each other through a band, is a rectangular, continuous piece of metal with a depth, where the depth is identical in a top band, a bottom band, and two side bands, creating an internal cavity, and where the top has a top front projection and a top back projection, and where the bottom has a bottom front projection and a bottom back projection, wherein the top front projection, the top back projection, the bottom front projection and the bottom back projection all extend outward from the band, thereby creating a front right space, a front left space, a back right space and a back left space which allows a user to view an installed case in four places,   wherein the top front projection terminates in the loop,   wherein the back front projection terminates in the hasp,   wherein the top back projection and the bottom back projection are connected by a back band,   such that a case can be slid into the cavity and secured with the hasp rotating over the loop, and being secured with a padlock.   
     
     
         2 . A cover for a case, where the cover has cavity surrounded on a cavity top, a cavity bottom, and two cavity sides by a band, and surrounded on a cavity back by a back bank, and the front is open, thereby creating a cavity into which a case removably fits, and a closure, where a closure extends from a top to a bottom of the case, and removably secures the case into the cover, wherein the band is a rectangular, continuous piece of metal with a depth, where the depth is identical in a top band, a bottom band, and two side bands, creating an internal cavity, and where the top has a top front projection and a top back projection, and where the bottom has a bottom front projection and a bottom back projection, wherein the top front projection, the top back projection, the bottom front projection and the bottom back projection all extend outward from the band, thereby creating a front right space, a front left space, a back right space and a back left space which allows a user to view an installed case in four places,
 wherein the top front projection terminates in a loop,   wherein the back front projection terminates in a hasp,   wherein the top back projection and the bottom back projection are connected by a back band,   such that a case can be slid into the cavity and secured with the hasp rotating over the loop, and being secured with a padlock.   
     
     
         3 . A cover for a case, where the cover has a top, a bottom, where the top and the bottom are closed, and the front is open, thereby creating a cavity into which a case removably fits, and a closure, where the closure extends from the top to the bottom of the case, and removably secures the case into the cover, wherein the top and bottom are connected to each other through a band, is a rectangular, continuous piece of metal with a depth, where the depth is identical in a top band, a bottom band, and two side bands, creating an internal cavity, and where the top has a top front projection and a top back projection, and where the bottom has a bottom front projection and a bottom back projection, wherein the top front projection, the top back projection, the bottom front projection and the bottom back projection all extend outward from the band, thereby creating a front right space, a front left space, a back right space and a back left space which allows a user to view an installed case in four places. 
     
     
         4 . The cover of  claim 3 , where the closure comprises a hasp, where the hasp is hingeably connect to the bottom at a hinge, and where the hasp has a hasp slot, where the hasp slot mates with a loop, where the loop is located on the top, such that when the hasp slot is rotated through the loop, a padlock is placed on the loop to secure the case in the cover. 
     
     
         5 . The cover of  claim 3 , where the bottom comprises one or more bolt holes, where one or more bolts can be inserted through the one or more bolt holes to secure the cover to a larger object, where the large object has one or more bolt receivers, and there the one or more bolts mate with the one or more bolt receivers. 
     
     
         6 . The cover of  claim 3 , where the bottom comprises one or more bolt holes, where one or more bolts are be inserted through the one or more bolt holes to secure the cover to a larger object, where the large object has one or more bolt receivers, and where the one or more bolts mate with the one or more bolt receivers. 
     
     
         7 . The cover of  claim 6 , where the large object is a pickup truck. 
     
     
         8 . The cover of  claim 3 , where the top and the bottom have a plurality of mesh holes.
