  • the first locking part 15 and the second locking part 17 can be inserted into the housing sleeve 29 in order to lock the lock body 13 at the first end 33 and the second end 41 in the axial direction and to fix the locking mechanism 19 in the housing sleeve 29.
  • the first locking part 15 forms a base body 45 of the lock body 13 and has a bearing extension 47 extending along the lock axis S on which the code setting rings 27 of the locking mechanism 19 are mounted in the assembled state of the chain lock 11 (see also Figure 7A ).
  • the bearing extension 47 In addition to supporting the code setting rings 27, the bearing extension 47 also serves to form a channel 51 into which the bolt mandrel 23 can be inserted for locking into the lock body 13.
  • the bearing extension 47 extends through the housing sleeve 29 in the direction of the second locking part 17, which has an insertion opening 49 through which the bolt mandrel 23 can be inserted into the lock body 13 (see also FIG Figure 5A ).
  • a slot 53 extending along the lock axis S is formed on the bearing extension 47, through which the locking protrusions 71 of the bolt mandrel 23 reach through when the bolt mandrel 23 is inserted in the lock body 13, in order to enable the bolt 21 to be locked by means of the code setting rings 27.
  • the lock body 13 In order to fasten the first closure part 15 to the housing sleeve 29, the lock body 13 has a first fastening pin 35 which, when the chain lock 11 is installed, reaches through a fastening opening 87 in the housing sleeve 29 and a fastening opening 87 in the first closure part 15. Furthermore, the lock body 13 comprises a further first fastening pin 37, which is aligned coaxially to the first fastening pin 35 and, as it were, reaches through the respective fastening openings 87 of the housing sleeve 29 and the first closure part 15 (see also FIG Figure 5B ).
  • the two first fastening pins 35 and 37 engage radially through the housing sleeve 29 into an annular groove 39 formed on the chain connection part 25, so that the chain connection part 25 is rotatably mounted on the first closure part 15 (see also FIG Figure 5B ).
  • the first fastening pins 35 and 37 thus serve, on the one hand, to axially fix the first closure part 35 on or in the housing sleeve 29 and, on the other hand, to rotate the chain connection part 25 to store the first closure part 15.
  • the chain connection part 25 can be rotated about the axis of rotation D of the code setting rings 27 relative to the first closure part 15 and the housing sleeve 29.
  • the access window 31 can always be rotated relative to the chain attached to the chain connecting part 25 in order to be able to set a combination by means of the code setting rings 27 or to be able to check a set combination.
  • the second locking part 17 is annular with the insertion opening 49 for inserting the bolt 21 or the bolt mandrel 23 into the lock body 13 and thus has an extremely simple geometric shape on.
  • the second locking part 17 is arranged at the second end 41 of the lock body 13 within the housing sleeve 29 and, so to speak, forms a cover of the housing sleeve 29 on which the code setting rings 27 lined up on the bearing extension 47 are supported.
  • a second fastening pin 43 is provided, which extends radially through the fastening openings 87 of the housing sleeve 29 and the second closure part 17 (see also FIG Figure 5B ).
  • the force flow past the first closure part 15 can basically be designed to be less resilient to tensile forces, the required tensile stability of the chain lock 11 or the lock body 13 through a stable design of the housing sleeve 29 and the second closure part 17 as well as the fastening pins 35, 37 and 43 can be guaranteed.
  • first closure part 15 which forms a base body 45
  • the hollow cylindrical housing sleeve 29 and the annular second closure part 17 due to these simple geometric shapes, are made from stable materials, for example steel, which are required for adequate tensile stability , can be manufactured.
  • All parts of the lock body 13 and in particular also the complex first locking part 15 can thus be manufactured extremely quickly, so that the manufacture of the chain lock 11 can be simplified and accelerated overall and thus cost-effectively without this being associated with a loss of stability.
  • the production of the first closure part 15 from die-cast zinc enables uncomplicated and precise reproducibility of the shape of the closure part 15 for a large number of chain locks 11.
  • the further chain connection part 55 via which the block 21 can be connected to the chain connection part 25 of the lock body 13 by means of a chain (not shown), is on the block 21 and thus relative to the lock body 13 or the housing sleeve 29 rotatably mounted about the axis of rotation D.
  • the clamp 21 has a fastening section 57 with two fastening openings 87, through which two third fastening pins 59 and 61 engage radially in an annular groove 63 of the chain connection part 55 in order to support the chain connection part 55 rotatably on the fastening section 57.
  • the lock body 13 and the block 21 attached to it can thus be compared to the two chain connection parts 25 and 55 are rotated so that the access window 31 can always be rotated into an orientation desired for operating the code setting rings 27.
  • the Figures 6A to 6C illustrate in particular the interaction of the code setting rings 27 with the bolt mandrel 23 in order to be able to selectively lock the bolt 21 on the lock body 13.
  • the code setting rings 27 are formed in several parts and have a respective outer identification ring 73 and an inner tumbler ring 75, which is non-rotatably connected to the identification ring 73 in an operating state of the combination locking mechanism 19.
  • several coupling protrusions 89 are formed on the respective outer peripheries of the tumbler rings 75, which engage in coupling depressions 91 formed on the inner peripheries of the identification rings 73 so that the tumbler rings 75 are taken along when the identification rings 73 are turned by hand.
  • the tumbler rings 75 On an inner circumference 65, the tumbler rings 75 have respective blocking webs 67 which are interrupted by a respective release recess 69.
  • the release recesses 69 of the tumbler rings 75 can be aligned with one another by setting the locking secret on the code setting rings 27 in order to pass the locking protrusions 71 of the lock mandrel 23 inserted into the lock body 13 or channel 51 while the lock mandrel 23 is being removed from the lock body 13 to let (cf. also Fig. 3 and 6A ).
  • the locking secret is not set on the code setting rings 27, at least one of the blocking webs 67 of the tumbler rings 75 is arranged in alignment with the associated locking protrusion 71 of the bolt mandrel 23. Pulling the bolt mandrel 23 out of the lock body 13 is therefore prevented by the interaction of the respective locking protrusion 71 with the associated blocking web 67, so that the bolt 21 is locked on the lock body 13 if the locking secret is not set.
  • separating disks 85 are arranged between two successively mounted on the bearing extension 47 of the first closure part 15 code setting rings 27, which are held non-rotatably on the bearing extension 47 by respective blocking protrusions 95 formed on the first closure part 15.
  • These separating disks 85 serve, in particular, to prevent adjacent code setting rings 27 from rotating, which is caused by friction, when the code setting rings 27 are rotated.
  • the separating disks 85 make it possible to change the locking code as required.
  • the tumbler rings 75 are supported in the direction of the first end 33 of the lock body 13 on the first locking part 15 via a spring 77.
  • the combination locking mechanism 19 has an adjusting element 83 which is accessible when the block 21 is removed and by means of which a pressure force can be applied to the separating disks 85 and via the separating disks 85 to the tumbler rings 75.
  • the setting element 83 can be designed to translate a rotation into an axial movement, so that a user can transmit an axial force to the tumbler rings 75 by rotating the setting element.
  • the tumbler rings 75 can be moved axially relative to the identification rings 73 against the force of the spring 77, so that the coupling protrusions 89 can be brought out of engagement with the coupling recesses 91 and the rotationally fixed coupling between the identification rings 73 and the tumbler rings 75 can be canceled.
  • the identification rings 73 can be rotated relative to the feed rings 75 in order to set a new locking secret, the tumbler rings 75 automatically reverting to the force of the spring 77 when the pressure exerted via the setting element 83 is canceled Engaging and rotationally fixed coupling with the identification rings 73 get.
  • the release recesses 69 are still arranged in alignment with one another, so that the number combination now set on the code setting rings 27 represents the new locking secret.
  • the tumbler rings 75 In order to reliably prevent the tumbler rings 75 from rotating unintentionally while the new locking secret is being set, the tumbler rings 75, in addition to the release recesses 69, also have a respective blocking recess 93 which, after the tumbler rings 75 have been axially displaced, engage with the ones on the bearing extension 47 of the first Locking element 15 formed blocking bumps 95 get. In the operating state of the combination locking mechanism 19, however, the blocking webs 69 are arranged in respective spaces between two fastening elevations 95 in order to enable the tumbler rings 75 to rotate relative to the bearing extension 47.
  • the chain lock 11 thus enables simple manufacture and assembly, in that the complex first closure part 15, which forms a base body 45, can be made, for example, from die-cast zinc, since the required tensile stability is achieved by directing tensile forces via the two first fastening pins 35 and 37 onto the housing sleeve 29 and the second fastening pin 43 on the second closure part 17 can be ensured. Due to the simple shape of the housing sleeve 29 as a hollow cylinder with only a few openings, the fastening openings 87 and the access window 31, and the simple shape of the second closure part 17 as an annular cover of the housing sleeve 29 with the insertion opening 49, these parts can easily be made of stable materials, for example made of steel. As a result, the chain lock 11 can be manufactured simply and inexpensively overall, without this simplified manufacture being associated with a loss of stability or security.
