Padlock

A padlock designed for application in the locking of sliding doors with two panels that meet by their butt ends on vertical edges, and which are held fast to one another by the padlock itself, characterized essentially in that the said padlock is constituted of two flat bodies formed by a variable number of platens superimposed and joined with respect to one another by means of rivets in such a way that the said bodies have each an exterior quadrilateral zone at one end and are extended in convergent form to terminate in a semicircular shape at the opposite end, thus providing flat and lengthened bodies that are arranged according to parallel and spaced planes;

• provision having been made for the connection of the said bodies to be effected through the semicircular end zone of the said bodies by virtue of a shaft common to both, which shaft is fixed to one of the bodies the other body is mobile and rotates around the said shaft, the said mobile body having a cylindrical housing in its quadrangular zone or free end, which housing has a channel formed on the inner lateral surface of the said housing;
• the fixed body having a small group of platens corresponding to the end quadrangular zone of the said body, which group of small platens faces the housing of the mobile body;
• with the special feature that this group of small platens, as well as the fixed body have a common pass-through orifice in which a cylindrical lock body is situated, and by which said lock body element is perfectly aligned facing the said channel in the housing of the mobile body when the padlock is in the closed position and wherein the said cylindrical lock body is axially movable within the said pass-through orifice, so as to be engagable in the said channel of the movable arm.
