ABSTRACT:
A padlock of the kind having a body and a U-shaped shackle which projects above an upper end surface of the body. The shackle has a captured leg which is retained against separation from the body but which can move relative to the body to allow the shackle to adopt a locked or a released condition. Another leg of the shackle has an end portion which is located within the body and is clear of the body respectively in the locked and released conditions of the padlock. A shroud is formed integral with the body and extends upwards from the body upper end surface so as to completely protect the front of the shackle under both the locked and released conditions. The shroud has a rearwardly opening cavity which substantially contains the shackle when in the locked condition so that the shackle is exposed only at the rear of the padlock. The rear of the padlock is substantially flat, whereas the front has a convex curvature.
