ABSTRACT:
Padlock constructed to resist efforts aimed at unauthorized opening of the padlock. The padlock casing has a rocker between the legs of the shackle of the padlock, and pivoted on a fixed pivot extending transversely of the padlock casing and held in a locking position by tumbler disks. A latch bolt is slidably carried by the rocker and biased by a spring to engage a latch bolt receiving notch in a shorter leg of the shackle. The rocker has an arcuate face struck from its pivot and facing oppositely from the latch bolt receiving notch of the shackle. The arcuate face slidably engages and cooperates with the arcuate face of a back-up fin or segment extending inwardly from the inner wall of the lock casing, backing up and forming a guide for said rocker. A camming and stop segment on the rocker slidably engages one side of the fin and comes into engagement with the lock casing to limit inward movement of the shackle, and to cam the rocker into a return direction.
