  • Patent number: 4183566
    Abstract: A keyless seal lock is disclosed which includes a shackle and a lock body. The lock body is provided with a sliding bolt which secures the shackle to the lock body and substantially prevents removal of the shackle from the lock body without deformation of the lock. The lock shackle is provided with a weakened portion which may be severed in order to remove the lock. Once the shackle has been severed, the shackle may be removed from the lock body without further deformation of the lock. In this manner the seal lock may be removed without damaging the lock body, and the lock body may be reused.
