Abstract
There is provided a lock which can include a shackle which can be moved between an unlocked configuration and a locked configuration. A locking mechanism can be carried by the lock. The locking mechanism can include a guard which can be actuated in a manner such that an access region can be defined to facilitate movement of the shackle such that the shackle can be moved to be in an unlocked configuration. The guard can also be actuated in a manner so as to block the access region to impede movement of the shackle when in the locked configuration such that the shackle is maintained in the locked configuration.
Claims15
A lock assembly comprising:
- a lock body;
- a shackle partially located within the lock body and configured to move relative to the lock body;
- a pair of locking members within the lock body, wherein the pair of locking members are configured to movably engage the shackle to prevent movement of the shackle in a locked configuration and to movably disengage from the shackle in an unlocked configuration;
- a locking mechanism coupled to the pair of locking members, wherein movement of the locking mechanism corresponds with the movement of the pair of locking members,
- a guard slidably engageable with the locking mechanism, wherein the guard is movable between a deployed position and a retracted position, wherein when in the deployed position, the guard is configured to slidably move the locking mechanism in such a manner as to cause the locking mechanism and the pair of locking members to move into the locked configuration, and when in the retracted position, the guard is configured to slidably move the locking mechanism in such a manner as to cause the locking mechanism and the pair of locking members to move into the unlocked configuration.
A locking mechanism located within a lock body, the lock body having a shackle partially located within the lock body and configured to move relative to the lock body, the locking mechanism comprising:
- a pair of locking members configured to movably engage the shackle to prevent movement of the shackle in a locked configuration and to movably disengage from the shackle in an unlocked configuration;
- an actuating mechanism coupled to the pair of locking members, wherein movement of the actuating mechanism corresponds with the movement of the pair of locking members,
- a guard slidably mounted within the lock body, and movable between a deployed position and a retracted position, wherein the guard is configured to move the actuating mechanism in the deployed position to cause the actuating mechanism and the pair of locking members to move to the locked configuration, and the guard is configured to move the actuating mechanism in a retracted position to cause the actuating mechanism and the pair of locking members to move to the unlocked configuration.
