ABSTRACT:
By providing a separate and independent release assembly having independent activation means for controlling the release or opening of a combination lock, an effective, easily produced, combination lock is achieved. The combination lock of the present invention virtually eliminates the ability of unauthorized persons from opening the lock, using known picking techniques, while also being constructed with the interior chambers thereof virtually sealed from ambient surroundings, preventing unwanted contamination from entering the interior of the lock and the rotating components thereof. In addition, a minimum number of components are employed in combination with a housing and a movable shackle which is completely controlled by a separate and independent shackle release assembly having an independent activation member. In this way, the unique combination padlock construction of this invention is achieved.
