ABSTRACT:
An improved bicycle locking mechanism, mounted on a bicycle, which minimizes manual manipulation and operation time. Mechanism consists of two main sections, a tubular connector(38) and a crescent-shaped housing(50). Mechanism is activated by a plunger(26), the vertical motion of which is translated to circular motion of a shackle(22) by a series of gears. The gear series rotates the shackle(22) into a locked position. A key frees the shackle(22) and a spring(28) resets the locking system. Mechanism stores safely within the frame of a bicycle. A spring hinge allows lock to be positioned for rapid activation and rapid storage.
