ABSTRACT:
An improved cable lock having a lock housing and a flexible shackle has a longitudinally elongated latch housing with a cylindrical side surface in which is formed a latch reception slot, receiving an L-shaped latch body. The latch body fits flush with the housing surface and is released by rocking one of its arms. A resilient ring is carried on the axis of the lock housing and has its circumferential surface exposed along the cylindrical side of the lock housing. A mechanism selectively compresses and decompresses the ring, respectively causing the ring to expand or retract radially for friction locking into a storage tube. A clamp is provided for mounting the storage tube into the seat post of a cycle, and a guide tube assists passage around the bend.
