Abstract
A lock comprises a lock casing, a shackle, an indicating device and a button component. The shackle is movably disposed on the lock casing. The indicating device is disposed in the lock casing, and moves from one original position to an indicating position with respect to the lock casing. The button component connects to the indicating device for restricting the movement of the shackle, the button component moves from a first position to a second position, for enabling the indicating device to move from the indicating position back to the original position.

A lock, comprising:
- a lock casing;
- a shackle comprising a root segment disposed in the lock casing, and a free segment extending from the root segment;
- a key lock core, having a spindle, the spindle having a key hole for receiving a matching key, wherein the spindle is able to move from an original position where the spindle is completely located within the lock casing to an indicating position where the spindle partly extends outside of the lock casing, and no matter whether the spindle is situated in the original position or in the indicating position, the spindle is able to be rotated by the key;
- and
- a button component disposed on the lock casing and configured to rotate with the spindle of the key lock core between a locking position where the free segment of the shackle is blocked in the button component from rotation about the root segment, and an unlocking position where the free segment is released from the button component for rotation about the root segment.
A lock, comprising:
- a lock casing;
- a shackle, comprising a root segment which is disposed in the lock casing and rotatable and a free segment which extends from the root segment;
- a button component, being movable between a locking position where the free segment of the shackle is blocked in the button component from rotation about the root segment, and an unlocking position where the free segment of the shackle is released from the button component for rotation;
- and
- a key lock core, disposed in the lock casing and having a spindle;
- wherein the spindle has a key hole for receiving a matching key and is able to move from an original position where the spindle is completely located within the lock casing to an indicating position where the spindle partly extends outside of the lock casing with respect to the button component;
- wherein the spindle is able to be moved from the indicating position to the original position by the button component.
A lock, having a shackle, a button component for controlling rotation of the shackle, and an indicating device moving between an original position and an indicating position, wherein the button component is configured to control rotation of a free segment of the shackle about a root segment of the shackle;
- the indicating device is able to move relative to the button component from an original position where the indicating device is completely located within the lock casing to an indicating position where the indicating device partly extends outside of the lock casing;
- and the indicating device is able to be moved from the indicating position back to the original position by the button component.
