Portable lock mounting assemblies including straps or connectors for securing each assembly to a bicycle or the like. Each mounting assembly having a structure defining a retaining assembly to securely retain a lock and easily release the lock from the mounting assembly.
Claims32
A transportation device accessory, comprising:
- a locking apparatus configured to secure a transportation device to an object;
- a mounting assembly mountable to the transportation device and to said locking apparatus, said mounting assembly including:
- a bracket releasably engageable to the transportation device, said bracket including first and second seats extending outwardly from a body portion of said bracket, wherein said first and second seats each define a saddle for receiving respective ones of first and second portions of said locking apparatus therein;
- and
- at least one strap connected to respective ones of said first and second seats, wherein said at least one strap is positioned around respective ones of said first and second portions of said locking apparatus in engagement with respective ones of said first and second seats to mount said locking apparatus to said mounting assembly.

A transportation device accessory, comprising:
- a locking apparatus configured to secure a transportation device to an object;
- a mounting assembly mountable to the transportation device and to said locking apparatus, said mounting assembly including:
- a bracket including a connection member removably engageable to said locking apparatus in a fixed orientation, said bracket further including a mounting member coupled to the connection member, wherein said connection member is rotatable relative to said mounting member around an axis extending through said connection member and said mounting member to change a positional orientation of said connection member relative to said mounting member, and said connection member and said mounting member are lockable into said position to prevent rotation of said connection member relative to said mounting member;
- and
- an attachment assembly engaged to said mounting member, wherein said attachment assembly is removably attachable to the transportation device in a fixed orientation, and changing of said orientation of said connection member relative to said mounting member changes an orientation of said locking apparatus relative to the transportation device.

A transportation device accessory, comprising:
- a locking apparatus configured to secure a transportation device to an object, said locking apparatus including a spline defining a notch;
- a mounting assembly mountable to the transportation device and to said locking apparatus, said mounting assembly including:
- a bracket including a connection member defining a slot for removably receiving said spline of said locking apparatus, said connection member including a release lever having a contact pad projecting from said connection member and a blocking pad extending from said contact pad that is normally biased into said notch to removably secure said locking apparatus to said connection member, said bracket further including a mounting member coupled to the connection member;
- and
- an attachment assembly engaged to said mounting member, wherein said attachment assembly is removably attachable to the transportation device.
2 more elements
A transportation device accessory, comprising:
- a locking apparatus configured to secure a transportation device to an object;
- a mounting assembly mountable to the transportation device and to said locking apparatus, said mounting assembly including:
- a bracket extending along an axis between a first end removably engaged to said locking apparatus and a second end engaged to an attachment assembly, wherein said attachment assembly is removably attachable to the transportation device, wherein said attachment assembly includes:
- an attachment block removably engaged to said bracket;
- a strap positionable around the transportation device that is removably engaged to said attachment block;
- and
- a fastener that is engaged to said attachment block and operable to displace said attachment block to tighten said strap around the transportation device.
