ABSTRACT:
[A locking bar adapted to cooperate with a shackle of a padlock, which locking bar comprises a shackle-receiving orifice and an abutment provided on the surface of said bar, the arrangement being such that with the padlock secured to the bar by means of a padlock shackle passing through said orifice, the abutment is adapted to engage with the body and/or shackle of the padlock to restrain substantial rotation of said padlock about the orifice in said bar.]
An improved padlock construction having a body defining an upper surface and a bottom surface. Access to a locking mechanism is provided through the bottom surface, while the top surface is designed so that the body can receive a shackle and portions of locking bars in locking engagement. To achieve this purpose a cruciform-shaped depression is provided in the top surface, which depression extends downwardly into the padlock body. The depression comprises a first area adapted to receive dependent leg portions of the shackle and a second area transverse to and intersecting the first area for receiving the perforated ends of the locking bars. The portion of the body of the padlock defining the recess is designed so that when the shackle and locking bars are in a locking engagement, the shackle is substantially completely accommodated within said depression in an inaccessible position.
