ABSTRACT:
A padlock comprises a lock casing and a basically U-formed shackle slideable therein between a closed and an open position. The padlock has two legs of different length, each provided with a locking notch. The longer leg has a head that is somewhat thicker than the general part of the leg for keeping the shackle engaged in the casing in its open position. There is also a cylinder lock mechanism, operable by a key, and locking members coacting with a guiding portion of a turnable member of the cylinder lock mechanism for locking both legs of the shackle to the lock casing. The locking members are movable dependent on the angular position of the guiding portion of the cylinder lock mechanism between a locking and a releasing position. The releasing position allows the shorter shackle leg to completely slide out from the lock casing. The padlock also comprises means allowing disengagement of the shackle from the lock casing upon turning the cylinder lock mechanism by means of the key into or past the releasing position, while the cylinder lock mechanism is in the casing.
