Strand lock

A strand lock, comprising:

• a lock body that has a first closure part and a second closure part;
• a combination locking mechanism oriented along a lock axis;
• and
• a strand hoop extending from a first strand end to a second strand end, wherein the first strand end is formed by a bolt that can be selectively locked to the lock body or released from the lock body and wherein the second strand end is permanently fastened to the second closure part,
• wherein the first closure part has a bolt introduction opening through which the bolt can be introduced into the lock body along an introduction direction oriented transversely to the lock axis,
• wherein the combination locking mechanism has a plurality of code rings rotatable about the lock axis for setting a numerical code and a latch preloaded along the lock axis into a locking position, and
• wherein the bolt has a locking notch into which the latch engages in the locking position when the bolt is introduced into the lock body,
• wherein the latch is released for a movement against the preload into an unlocking position when a numerical code is set at the code rings that corresponds to a secret code,
• wherein, in the unlocking position, the latch unblocks a movement path of the bolt for an introduction into the lock body or for a removal from the lock body, wherein the latch is blocked against a movement into the unlocking position if a numerical code is set at the code rings that does not correspond to the secret code, and
• wherein, when the secret code is set, the latch can be urged from the locking position into the unlocking position by introducing the bolt that is released from the lock body into the lock body and by removing the bolt that is introduced into the lock body.
