ABSTRACT:
A protective cover for a shackle lock is integrally made of a resilient material having an upper surface with a pair of spaced apertures defined by ring seals integrally molded to the top and surrounded by an accordian fold. Downwardly depending sidewalls fit over the body of a shackle lock and terminate with a peripheral bead adapted to sealably engage a bottom plug having a corresponding recess such that when the plug is fitted into the open bottom a tight seal is formed. In the preferred embodiment, a tether is coupled to the bottom and is detachably secured to one of the walls of the cover. The accordian fold surrounding the spaced apertures permits the apertures to align with shackle bars of a variety of lock sizes while the ring provides a tight seal against the shackle bar preventing entry of vapors, dirt, moisture, and the like.
