ABSTRACT:
A security and protective cover for a padlock, which cover is releasably latchable to the padlock to cover the padlock case including keyway, and to shield the padlock shackle, is disclosed. There is a first cover portion having a lower part with spaced apart walls that form a case-receiving chamber with an open front to allow placement of the padlock case therein, with a top chamber wall having a spaced pair of semi-circular indentations for receiving the shafts of the shackle. Extending upwardly from the top of the lower part of the first cover portion is a shackle-shielding wall with a central slot extending downwardly from its top to define twin wall projections lying behind and adjacent the upstanding shackle shafts of a padlock mounted in the cover to surround first portions of these shafts. There is a second cover portion having a major wall with a lower end that is hingedly attached to the bottom of the first cover portion, and at the upper end of the major wall is a wall with twin semi-circular indentations. Above this wall is a shackle shielding portion with twin projections bordering a central slot, and key-operated latching means mounted just below the slot. With a padlock received in the first cover portion, the second portion is rotatable into full latchable engagement with the first portion, to cover all sides of the padlock case and to surround other portions of the shackle shafts.
