Abstract
A lock includes a cable configured as an antenna, a shackle pin connected to one end of the cable, and a lock body connected to another end of the cable. The lock body includes a channel for the shackle pin, at least one lock member adjacent the channel pivotable from an open position disengaged from the shackle pin to a closed position engaging the shackle pin, a retainer associated with a lock member driven from a released position disengaged from the lock member to an engaged position retaining the lock member in the closed position, and an electrically driven linear actuator driving the retainer to the released position in response to a signal received by a receiver via the antenna.
Claims31
A lock comprising:
- a cable with one or more conductors configured as an antenna;
- a shackle pin connected to one end of the cable;
- and
- a lock body connected to another end of the cable and including:
- a conductive housing section serving as a ground for the antenna,
- a channel for the shackle pin,
- at least one lock member adjacent the channel and biased to an open position disengaged from the shackle pin and driven by the shackle pin to a closed position engaging the shackle pin,
- a retainer associated with said lock member and driven to a released position disengaged from said lock member and biased to an engaged position retaining said lock member in its closed position,
- an electrically driven linear actuator driving the retainer to its released position in response to a signal received by a receiver via the antenna, and
- an antenna shield between the cable and the receiver.
A lock comprising:
- a cable with one or more conductors configured as an antenna;
- a shackle pin connected to one end of the cable;
- and
- a lock body connected to another end of the cable and including:
- a conductive housing section serving as a ground for the antenna,
- a channel for the shackle pin,
- means for retaining the shackle pin in the channel,
- an electronically driven linear actuator driving the means for retaining the shackle pin to a released position in response to a signal received by a receiver via the cable, and
- an antenna shield between the cable and the receiver.
