ABSTRACT:
A shackle lock, particularly with a long shackle, comprises a lock body and a lock shackle with two shackle arms, the free end portions of which are displaceable into a shackle arm housing of the lock body until they reach a locking position of the lock shackle. A lock mechanism is rotatable about an axis of rotation, particularly by a key. Disposed in the lock body is at least one locking element which meshes with the closure mechanism and which, upon actuation of the closure mechanism, is guided for movement out of a lock shackle arresting position in which the locking element is in engagement with the end portion of at least one shackle arm for locking the lock shackle and for movement into a lock shackle releasing position in which the locking element is out of arresting engagement with the end portion of the shackle arm. In this lock shackle releasing position the shackle arm can be withdrawn completely from the shackle arm housing. The locking element which is pivotally engaged with the closure mechanism can, upon actuation of the closure mechanism, be pivoted out of its lock shackle arresting position into the lock shackle releasing position and vice versa in a pivot plane which is virtually at right-angles to the axis of rotation of the closure mechanism.
