Motorcycle lock

A motorcycle lock to be fastened to an apertured rotatable element of a motorcycle, said lock preventing a the rotatable element from completing a full rotation as a result of contact of the lock with a stationary portion of said motorcycle, comprising:

• a first leg member and a second leg member, a base member connected between one end of each said leg member to form a U-shaped lock housing having a gap between said leg members, said lock being positionable so that the rotatable element of said motorcycle is in said gap;
• a locking bolt channel extending through said first leg member and at least partially through said second leg member,
• a locking bolt member dimensioned for sliding in said locking bolt channel to extend from said first leg member across said gap and into said second leg member;
• a locking bolt pin being engagable with said locking bolt member when said locking bolt member slides in said locking bolt channel into said second leg;
• rotatable means for holding said locking bolt member in position in said second leg member when said rotatable means is in a first position, and in a second position said rotatable means allowing said locking bolt pin to release said locking bolt member;
• a dual function channel formed in said first leg;
• pin means between said dual function channel and said locking bolt channel for blocking full entry of said locking bolt member into said locking bolt channel in said second leg member;
• a lock-out device removably insertable into and rotatable in said dual function channel, said lock-out device in a first rotated position engaging with said pin means and blocking full entry of said locking bolt member into said locking bolt channel in said second leg member so as to prevent engagement of said locking bolt member with said locking bolt pin, rotation of said lock-out device in said dual function channel to a second position causing said pin means to unblock said locking bolt channel, said lock-out device being removable from said dual function channel in said second rotational position and being constrained in said dual function channel in said first rotational position of said lock-out device.

A motorcycle lock to be fastened to an apertured rotatable element of a wheel mounted by a frame fork to a motorcycle in order to prevent the rotatable element from completing a full rotation as a result of contact of the lock with a stationary portion of said motorcycle, comprising:

• a first leg member and a second leg member, a base member connected between one end of each said leg member to form a U-shaped lock housing having a gap between said leg members, said gap being sized to receive said rotatable element of said motorcycle in said gap;
• a locking bolt channel extending through said first leg member and at least partially through said second leg member, a locking cylinder channel extending into said base member, and a locking bolt pin channel extending between said locking bolt channel and said locking cylinder channel;
• a locking bolt member dimensioned for sliding in said locking bolt channel to extend from said first leg member across said gap, through an aperture in said rotatable element and into said second leg member, said locking bolt member having a first recess;
• a locking bolt pin slidably located in said locking bolt pin channel, said locking bolt pin being engagable in said first recess of said locking bolt member when said locking bolt member slides in said locking bolt channel into said second leg;
• a rotatable cam member located in said locking cylinder channel, a first surface of said cam member engaging said locking bolt pin to urge said locking bolt pin into the first recess in said locking bolt member to hold said locking bolt member in position in said second leg member when said rotatable cam member is in a first position, and in a second position of said rotatable cam member, allowing said locking bolt pin to withdraw from said firs recess, whereby said lock is secured on the apertured rotatable element and moves therewith until it engages the stationary portion of said motorcycle;
• a dual function channel formed in said first leg;
• pin means between said dual function channel and said locking bolt channel for preventing motorcycle operation with said lock engaged;
• and
• a lock-out device removably insertable into and rotatable in said dual function channel, said lock-out device in a first rotated position engaging with said pin means and blocking full entry of said locking bolt member into said locking bolt channel in said second leg member so as to prevent engagement of said locking bolt member with said locking bolt pin, rotation of said lock-out device in said dual function channel to a second position causing said pin means to unblock said locking bolt channel, said lock-out device being removable from said dual function channel in said second rotational position and being constrained in said dual function channel in said first rotational position of said lock-out device.
