ABSTRACT:
A portable lock has a housing, a locking member connected to the housing, and a lock control mounted on the housing for selectively locking and unlocking the locking member. The housing is formed with a base and a tip, first and second sidewalls each extending from the base to the tip, and front and back walls each extending between the base, tip, and first and second sidewalls. The base is wider than the tip and the first and second sidewalls are farther apart from each other near the base than near the tip. When the housing is grasped by a hand having any orientation relative to the housing, the lock control is reachable for manipulation by at least one digit of the same hand. A light is mounted on the housing, and a wheel is mounted within the housing and has a hollow portion defining a compartment. A cable is trained around the wheel and has a proximal end secured within the housing and a distal end adapted to be withdrawn from the housing, wrapped around one or more objects to be secured, and inserted into the housing in locked relationship. A battery is accommodated within the compartment and connected to the light for powering the light.
