Padlock body for engaging with a replaceable locking cylinder

A padlock body (10) engaged with a replaceable locking cylinder (20) and comprising:

• an actuator (30) comprising a groove (32), the actuator (30) being rotatable about a vertical axis (X) between a locked position and an unlocked position, the actuator (30) further comprising a first end and a second end opposed to the first end, the first end comprising the groove (32) and the second end being operatively connectable to the replaceable locking cylinder (20);
• a shackle (12) comprising a first end (13) and a second end (14), the first end (13) being attached to said padlock body (10), the second end (14) being movable for engaging with the groove (32) of the actuator (30);
• and
• at least one fastener (40) for securing the padlock body (10) to the replaceable locking cylinder (20),
• wherein:
• in the unlocked position, the actuator (30) is rotated about the vertical axis (X) such that the groove (32) of the actuator (30) is positioned for engaging with the second end (14) of the shackle (12);
• in the locked position, the actuator (30) is rotated about the vertical axis (X) such that, when the second end (14) of the shackle (12) is engaged with the groove (32) of the actuator (30), the second end (14) of the shackle (12) is restrained within the groove (32) of the actuator (30);
• the padlock body (10) further comprises a first blocking element (55) and a first lateral hole (50) for receiving the first blocking element (55), the first lateral hole (50) intersecting a fastening direction of the fastener (40), such that removal of the fastener (40) is hindered by the first blocking element (55);
• the first end (13) of the shackle (12) further comprises a first recess (15), the first recess (15) radially enclosing part of the first lateral hole (50) when the second end (14) of the shackle (12) is disengaged with the groove (32) of the actuator (30);
• in the unlocked position, the first recess (15) and the first lateral hole (50) are aligned in a same plane, thereby exposing the first blocking element (55) inserted therein;
• and
• in the locked position, the first recess (15) is moved away from the radially enclosing position, such that the first end (13) of the shackle (12) hinders access to the first blocking element (55) inserted therein.
