ABSTRACT:
A lock apparatus including a shackle having first and second joined leg portions and a cross member pivotally connected to the first leg portion for pivotal rotation relative to the shackle, about a pivotal axis. The cross member has an opening for receiving a portion of the second leg portion therein when the lock is in a closed position and a bolt connected to the cross member is operable to selectively releasably engage the second leg portion when the lock is in the closed position. The apparatus further includes a lock position holder including a contact member on the cross member and a detent member on the shackle. The contact member and detent member are engageable with each other such that relative movement between the contact member and the detent member is resisted, to interfere with movement of the cross member relative to the shackle to keep the cross member and the shackle in a position of relative angular orientation.
