Portable lock mounting assemblies

A transportation device accessory, comprising:

• a locking apparatus configured to secure a transportation device to an object, said locking apparatus having a lock housing coupled to one end of a spline by a stop, said stop radially extending from said lock housing to separate said lock housing from said spline by a space, said spline including a notch that extends inwardly from an outer edge of said spline;
• 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 slot being offset from, an end wall of said connection member, said end wall adapted to abut against a portion of a mounting member of said bracket that is coupled to the connection member, said connection member including a lever opening and a release lever, said lever opening being in communication with said slot, said 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 release lever further including a stand extending transversely from said blocking pad to across bar and at least one counterbalance leg extending from said crossbar in a direction paralleling said blocking pa, said counterbalance leg being secured in position between said connection member and said mounting member, said release lever adapted to pivotally displace said blocking pad from said notch to facilitate removal of said spline from said slot by pivoting said stand relative to said counterbalance leg to displace said blocking pad from said notch;
• and
• an attachment assembly engaged to said mounting member, wherein said attachment assembly is removably attachable to the transportation device.

A transportation device accessory, comprising:

• a locking apparatus configured to secure a transportation device to an object, said locking apparatus coupled to one end of a spline by a stop, said stop extending radially from said locking apparatus to separate said locking apparatus from said spline;
• 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, said bracket including a connection member having a receiving slot and a lever, said receiving slot adapted to receive insertion of said spline generally in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of said receiving slot, said lever having a blocking pad that is normally biased into a notch of said spline to removably secure said locking apparatus to said connection member, said blocking pad adapted to be pivotally displaced about an axis that is offset from, and generally parallel to, said longitudinal axis of said receiving slot, said lever further including a stand extending transversely from said blocking pad to a cross bar and at least one counterbalance leg extending from said crossbar in a direction paralleling said blocking pad, said counterbalance leg being secured in position in said connection member, said lever adapted to pivotally displace said blocking pad from said notch to facilitate removal of said spline from said slot by pivoting said stand relative to said counterbalance leg to displace said blocking pad from said notch, 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.
