PORTABLE BEACH SAFE
A portable safe that includes a lower shell having a sidewall surrounding a bottom wall and defining an internal cavity and includes a cover rotatably and lockably coupled to the lower shell, wherein the cover has at least one photovoltaic cell directly coupled thereto and has a top surface defining at least one solar intake aperture exposing the at least one photovoltaic cell to an ambient environment and configured to convert solar energy to energy usable by the portable safe. The lower shell or the cover defines a cable aperture for receiving a cable that is operably configured to form a loop for surrounding a structural object. The safe has a locked position with the cable longitudinally retained by at least one of the cover and the lower shell and an article loading position with a portion of the cover removed from the lower shell and exposing the internal cavity.

BAG LOCK DEVICE AND METHOD FOR USING THE SAME
A bag lock device and method for use are disclosed. The bag lock device may be used, in some embodiments, for re-sealable bags that contain contents that should be secure from unauthorized users. In one implementation, the bag lock device may include a bag magazine and a combination lock which secures the bag onto the magazine carriage.
Resettable combination lock mechanism
A resettable combination lock mechanism includes a plurality of outer lock dials and a plurality of inner lock dials. The rotation of a reset feature changes the relative axial position between the outer lock dials and the inner lock dials, allowing the combination of the lock mechanism to be reset. In one aspect, the outer lock dials are axially displaced upon rotation of the reset feature, exposing a visual indicator that is configured to indicate whether the lock is in a combination reset mode or is in a normal mode. The reset mode allows the combination to be changed. The normal mode allows the lock mechanism to be locked or unlocked to secure or release a desired item. In another aspect, the rotation of the reset feature rotates a visual indicator into alignment with a window to indicate that the lock is the reset mode or the normal mode.
