ABSTRACT:
A security shield for protection of a padlock of a type which has a body and shackle. The shackle is of generally U-shaped configuration and has a free leg and a pivoting captive leg interconnected by an outer end. The security shield comprises a housing and a saddle positioned therein. The housing has a front and rear wall interconnected by a pair of side walls. A top wall interconnects the ends of the front, rear and side walls to define an open ended box. The front wall has a locking port formed therein for enabling a hasp to pass therethrough and an exit slot formed in the top wall for enabling a shackle outer end to pass therethrough. The saddle is secured to the interior of the housing and comprises a lower horizontal base and a upper horizontal base interconnected by a vertical arm. The bases each have apertures therein for enabling the shackle free leg to pass therethrough. A shackle support element extends upwardly from the upper horizontal base for positioning the shackle with respect to the housing when the padlock is in a closed position.
