ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a padlock designed for application in the locking of sliding doors with two panels that meet by their butt ends or vertical edges, which are held fast to one another by the padlock itself, being constituted by two flat bodies formed by a variable number of platens super-imposed and joined with respect to one another by means of rivets in such a way that the said bodies have an exterior quadrilateral zone, which is extended in convergent form to terminate in a semicircular shape at its opposite end, thus originating a number of flat and lengthened bodies that are arranged according to parallel and spaced planes; provision having been made for the connection of the said bodies to be effected through the semicircular end zone of the said bodies, by virtue of a shaft common to both, which shaft is fixed and without movement, causing one of the bodies to be fixed while the other is mobile and rotates around the said shaft, the said mobile body having a cylindrical housing in its quadrangular zone or free end, which housing has a channel formed on the inner lateral surface of the said housing; while the fixed body has a small group of platens corresponding to the end quadrangular zone of the said body, which group of small platens faces the housing of the mobile body; with the special feature that this group of small platens, as well as the fixed body have a common pass-through orifice in which the main cylindrical lock body is situated, which element is prefectly situated facing the housing of the mobile body when the padlock is in the closed position.
