ABSTRACT:
An easily operable combination padlock includes: a casing, a shackle having a long leg member and a short leg member respectively lockable with a pair of locking shuttles slidably held in the casing, a plurality of dials and sleeves rotatably mounted on a bolt longitudinally held in the casing, a conical head portion formed on a top of the bolt tangentially engageable with the two shuttles, and a combination-changing device formed on a bottom portion of the bolt and the casing for resetting a new combination when the padlock is unlocked; whereby upon an outward extending of the two shuttles as urged by the conical head portion of the bolt to engage the two leg members of the shackle, the shackle is locked for locking the padlock; and upon unlocking of the padlock, the conical head portion on the bolt is downwardly depressible without retarding an inward retraction of the two shuttles, the shackle will be upwardly pulled by retracting the shuttles for unlocking the padlock.
