Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a locking bracket for securing two adjacent bodies to one another, in particular for securing a gate to a fence post. The locking bracket comprises a first hoop and a second hoop that, together with the first hoop, surrounds a region for receiving the two adjacent bodies. The hoops respectively have a first end and a second end, wherein they are connected to one another in an articulated manner at their first ends so that the hoops can be pivoted between an open position in which the locking bracket can be arranged around the two adjacent bodies and a closed position in which the hoops together surround the region for receiving the two adjacent bodies. Each of the hoops forms a lug at their free ends, the lug being oriented substantially perpendicular to the second end and having at least one bore.
