Abstract
A portable hoop lock comprises a lock body that accommodates an electromechanical locking mechanism; and a hoop that has at least one locking section that can be selectively introduced into the lock body or released from the lock body, wherein the locking mechanism comprises at least one latch and an electric motor for driving the latch, wherein the latch is configured to lock the locking section of the hoop introduced into the lock body to the lock body in a locking position and to release the locking section of the hoop for a removal from the lock body in a release position. In this respect, the electric motor is configured to selectively move the latch from the locking position into the release position via a drive transmission section of the locking mechanism and the lock body has a watertight cover that surrounds the electric motor.
Claims16
A portable hoop lock comprising a lock body that accommodates an electromechanical locking mechanism;
- and comprising a rigid or flexible hoop that has at least one locking section that is configured to be selectively introduced into the lock body or released from the lock body,
- wherein the locking mechanism comprises at least one latch and an electric motor for driving the latch, wherein the latch is configured to lock the locking section of the hoop introduced into the lock body to the lock body in a locking position and to release the locking section of the hoop for a removal from the lock body in a release position,
- wherein the electric motor is configured to selectively move the latch from the locking position into the release position via a drive transmission section of the locking mechanism,
- wherein the lock body has a watertight cover that surrounds the electric motor;
- wherein the cover has a cover opening through which the drive transmission section of the locking mechanism projects in a sealed manner,
- wherein the lock body comprises a carrier that carries the electric motor and at least a part of the locking mechanism, wherein the carrier movably supports the drive transmission section, and wherein the carrier is surrounded by the cover,
- wherein the cover has a clamping section that peripherally surrounds the cover opening, wherein the carrier has a connection section that contacts an inner side of the clamping section of the cover and that has a connection opening, and wherein the lock body has a counter connection section that contacts an outer side of the clamping section of the cover and that has a counter connection opening,
- wherein the clamping section of the cover is arranged between the connection section of the carrier and the counter connection section of the lock body, and wherein the drive transmission section of the locking mechanism projects through the connection opening of the carrier, the cover opening, and the counter connection opening of the lock body,
- wherein the entire watertight cover that surrounds the electric motor is flexible.
