An exemplary lock apparatus generally includes a shackle, a crossbar, a lock device, a first bolt, and a trigger. The lock device has a locked state in which the lock device retains a spindle in a spindle locking position, and an unlocked state in which the lock device does not prevent movement of the spindle to a spindle unlocking position. The first bolt is engaged with the spindle such that movement of the spindle between the spindle locking position and the spindle unlocking position drives the first bolt between a first locking position and a first unlocking position. The trigger is movably mounted in the crossbar for movement between an engagement position, in which the trigger maintains the spindle in the spindle unlocking position, and a disengagement position, in which the spindle is operable to move to the spindle locking position.

A method for operating a combination lock including a body and a shackle. A keybox is located in the body and includes a cover. The body includes a first control panel, a second control panel and a switch button. The method includes a step of setting a first combination to the first control panel, a second combination to the second control panel. A step of switching the switch button to the first position so that the shackle is operated and the cover is opened relative to the keybox by inputting the first combination or the second combination from the first control panel. When the switch button is switched to the second position, the shackle is operated and the cover is opened relative to the keybox by inputting the first combination or the second combination from the second control panel.

The present invention discloses a flippable cable lock with a twistable cable capable of being twisted into an X-shape cross state and remains in that state. In addition, the cable lock further includes a combination lock mechanism, an elastic member and a key lock mechanism. The elastic member includes a plurality of arc-shape elastic sheets engaging with multiple dials of the combination lock mechanism. The key lock mechanism includes a blocking portion and a push portion. When the key lock mechanism is unlocked, the blocking portion leaves from blocking a lower-section of the twistable cable, and the push portion pushes the lower-section to move.

The present invention discloses a combination lock mechanism for a lock, it includes a plurality of dials and an elastic member, each dial has a plurality of blocks and a plurality of grooves, each block has an identification element respectively, each groove is located between two adjacent blocks, the elastic member is located beside the combination mechanism and having a basic sheet and plurality of elastic sheets, each elastic sheet is connected to a side of the basic sheet, and each elastic sheet has a protruding portion on both ends respectively, each protruding portion can be lodged into each groove of the dial.

An object padlock comprising, an object looking cover/body shape, at least one dial to control the opening of the lock as a primary control mechanism which is said to be a combination mode, a locking means such as a cable with one end always in the padlock and the other end such as a flexible-end can be locked and opened via a combination dial control, and at least a cylinder to control the opening of the lock as a secondary control mechanism which is said to be unlock by key mode.

A magnetic buckle device has a first base, a second base, a first component mounted to the first base, a second component mounted to the second base, and a lock mechanism. A magnetic attraction force is generated between the first component and the second component to move the first base and the second base toward each other. The lock mechanism is connected to the second base and has a locked status and an unlocked status. The lock mechanism has an engaging component and an unlocking component. In the locked status, the first base and the engaging component engage with each other such that the first base and the engaging component are inseparable. In the unlocked status, the unlocking component is capable of being operated to allow the first base and the engaging component to disengage from each other.

A securing device which includes a body and a cable is provided. The body includes a housing and a fixing unit. The housing includes a restricting hole, a first end portion and a second end portion disposed on opposite ends, and a first operating face, a display face, and a second operating face disposed between the first end portion and the second end portion. The restricting hole penetrates the housing from the display face having a display area. The fixing unit is disposed in the housing and includes a rotating disc. The outer rim of the rotating disc extends out of at least one of the first operating face and the second operating face. The display area displays a symbol on the rotating disc. The free end of the cable passes through the display face via the restricting hole. The fixing unit is capable of restricting the cable from moving.

A joint lock comprises a lock body that accommodates a combination locking mechanism; and a jointed bar hoop. The combination locking mechanism has a plurality of code rings rotatable about an axis of rotation and a latch that is preloaded along the axis of rotation in the direction of a locked position. The lock body has an introduction opening through which the locking bar of the jointed bar hoop can be introduced into the lock body along an introduction direction that is oriented transversely to the axis of rotation of the code rings, with the locking bar introduced into the lock body being locked to the lock body when the latch is in the locked position and is blocked. The latch and/or the locking bar of the jointed bar hoop has/have at least one slope that is configured to effect an urging back of the preloaded latch from the locked position into a release position on a removal of the locking bar from the introduction opening of the lock body and/or on an introduction of the locking bar into the introduction opening of the lock body.

The present disclosure is directed to a combination lock including a housing configured to lockingly receive a locking link. The lock includes a plurality of outer dials and a plurality of inner dials, each selectively coupled to a corresponding outer dial. A spindle is positioned radially internal to the inner dials. A multiplier link is pivotably connected between the spindle and a locking bolt. Some forms of the combination lock include a tactile feedback mechanism and/or a combination reset mechanism.

An example lock apparatus includes a shackle including an engagement portion, and a lock head operable to selectively engage the engagement portion to thereby retain the lock apparatus in a closed condition. The lock head includes a housing, a slider, and a detent mechanism. The slider is mounted for sliding movement relative to the housing between a first position and a second position. One of the first position or the second position is a closed position in which the slider prevents removal of the engagement portion from the lock head, and the other of the first position or the second position is an open position in which the slider permits removal of the engagement portion from the lock head. The detent mechanism is configured to selectively resist movement of the slider from the first position.
