Definitions

  • a padlock is also known, in which two spherical locking elements are provided on both sides of the locking mechanism, which engage in corresponding recesses of the lock bracket.
  • the cylindrical locking mechanism has at its front end opposite the key insertion two diametrically opposed flats which run parallel to the axis of rotation and which allow the two locking elements in their lock shackle release position to at least partially withdraw from the shackle arm receptacles.
  • one of the two bow arms can then be pulled completely out of the lock body, whereas the other bow arm is still held in the lock body by the associated locking element.
  • the locking element articulated with the locking mechanism can be pivoted out of its locking lever locking position into the locking lever release position, and vice versa, in an approximately orthogonal pivot plane to the axis of rotation of the locking mechanism.
  • the pivoting of the locking element enables a very compact design of the padlock, since the space required for a linear movement of the locking element is eliminated.
  • particularly smooth operation is possible as a result of the articulated connection between the locking mechanism and the locking element.
  • a particularly simple, compact structure of the shackle lock is achieved in that the two locking elements in the lock shackle locking position in the lock body on both sides of the locking mechanism in the pivoting plane and in a central plane which is determined by the axis of rotation of the locking mechanism and by the central longitudinal axes of the shackle arm receptacles, are arranged and can be pivoted out of the central plane with their end close to the locking mechanism to bring about the lock shackle release position.
  • the padlock according to the invention can be provided for a wide variety of uses. For example, it is conceivable that it should be used as a padlock. It is entirely sufficient here that one of the two bracket arms can be pulled out of its bracket arm receptacle, for example, so that it can be pushed through a securing eyelet firmly attached to a door frame, so that a bracket of a door pushed onto the securing eyelet can be fixed. The bracket arm can then be pushed back into the bracket arm receptacle and locked there.
  • a particularly good handling of the padlock according to the invention is achieved in that the locking mechanism between a lock shackle release position and a lock shackle locking position by an angle between about 30 ° and about 50 °, preferably about 45 °, is rotated.
  • the lock shackle release position or the lock shackle locking position of the locking mechanism and the locking element is reached after a very short pivoting movement.
  • the locking mechanism is in its lock release position or its lock lock position.
  • the swept swivel angle can be between approximately 5 ° and approximately 20 °, preferably approximately 10 °.
  • the locking bolt can be formed from a first locking bolt part and a second locking bolt part, the two locking bolt parts being displaceable relative to one another and the first locking bolt part being articulated with the locking mechanism is connected and the second locking bolt part is provided for engagement with the end portion of the bracket arm.
  • the first locking bolt part can have at its end remote from the locking mechanism a recess which extends and opens in the direction of the bracket arm receptacle, in which the second locking bolt part is arranged displaceably.
  • a spring element preferably a helical compression spring, is arranged between the first and the second locking bolt part, which points the first locking bolt part in the direction of biases the locking mechanism and the second locking bolt part in the direction of the bracket arm receptacle.
  • Both the locking housing and the armor housing can have a circular cross section, the locking housing being arranged in the armor housing in a rotationally fixed manner.
  • standardized components such as, for example, for the manufacture of the armored housing can then be produced. Use steel pipes.
  • the locking housing can be made of die-cast and / or the armor housing made of steel. This results in a particularly theft-proof, solid design of the padlock according to the invention.
  • the lock body can be surrounded by a possibly multi-part plastic casing.
  • the locking mechanism be an insert part in the area of the articulated connection with the locking element has which is made of a material which is harder than the material of the locking mechanism in the area of the articulated connection and against which the locking element is supported in the lock shackle locking position.
  • the locking bolts 20 are aligned in such a way that their respective longitudinal axis of the bolt in a lock shackle locking position lie in a pivot plane S orthogonal to the axis of rotation D and in a central plane of the lock body 12, the central plane being defined by the axis of rotation D and the two central longitudinal axes 12a ', 12b '
  • the bracket arm receptacles 12a, 12b is determined and thus extends essentially perpendicular to the pivot plane S.
  • the lock arms 14a, 14b are locked in the lock body 12 in the lock shackle locking position of the locking bolts 20 by one locking bolt 20 each.
  • the lock shackle locking position corresponds to a locking position of the lock shackle 14.
  • the two locking bolts 20 can be moved from their lock shackle locking position into a lock shackle release position of the key-operated locking mechanism 18 in a manner to be described below.
  • the head 20ba of the second locking bolt part 20b has a hemispherical shape, the hemispherical surface forming a locking surface. In the lock shackle locking position, the head 20ba projects into a locking recess 14c of the respective shackle arm 12a, 12b.
  • the rotating body 24 is then introduced into the armor housing 32 and connected to the locking mechanism 18 in a rotationally fixed manner.
  • the two locking housing parts 30a, 30b based on FIG. 1, are then inserted into the armor housing 32 from the left and right, the pin 36 engaging in a corresponding recess in the locking mechanism 18 and the two locking bolts 20 in the two driving surfaces 24a of the rotating body 24 intervention.
  • two dowel pins 38 are hammered through the armor housing 32 into a locking housing part 30a, 30b.
  • the lock body 12 is surrounded by a plastic jacket 40, which preferably consists of three parts 40a-c (cf. FIGS. 4,4a, 4b). As can be seen from FIG. 4, the plastic jacket 40 can be wave-shaped.
  • the padlocks 10, 110 have a symmetrical structure with respect to the axis of rotation D of the locking mechanism 18, 118 and to the central plane containing the axis of rotation D and the central longitudinal axes 12a ', 12b' of the bracket arm receptacles 12a, 12b. This greatly simplifies the manufacture and assembly of the padlocks 10, 110.
  • the spherical rotating body 24 has two flats 24b and a centering shoulder 24c for saving material and for easier machining, by means of which the rotating body 24 engages in a corresponding recess 32a of the armor housing 32 (cf. Fig. 2.6).
