  • Publication number: 20230072909
    Abstract: A frame lock for a two-wheeler comprises a housing; a locking apparatus that is received in the housing; and a closing hoop that is movably supported at the housing between an open position and a closed position and that can be blocked in the closed position by means of the locking apparatus. The frame lock in this respect has two fastening sections having at least one respective hole and is configured to be fastened to the two-wheeler by screwing screws in a screw-in direction through the holes into threaded bushings provided at the two-wheeler. Each of the two fastening sections is configured as a fastening piece which is formed separately from the housing, in which the respective hole is formed, and which is displaceably supported at the housing linearly guided along a displacement direction.

  • Publication number: 20230064198
    Abstract: An electromechanical lock includes an electromechanical locking mechanism and a control circuit, wherein an associated counter-piece is locked by way of the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism has a latch, an entrainer that is rotatable about an axis of rotation for driving the latch, and an electric motor for driving the entrainer, wherein the latch is moveable between a locking position and an unlocking position, wherein the latch is preloaded in the direction of the locking position. The entrainer is rotatable into a release position, a standby position, and a blocking position and the latch can is driven to perform a movement into the unlocking position by rotating the entrainer into the release position. In the standby position, the latch is released to be urged back against the preload. In the blocking position, the entrainer blocks the latch against a movement in the direction of the unlocking position.

  • Publication number: 20140042201
    Abstract: A mounting for a two-wheeler accessory such as for a two-wheeler lock, for a water bottle or the like has a holder and a fastening strap. The holder comprises a support section for resting on a tube section of a two-wheeler and a receiving section for receiving the two-wheeler accessory. The fastening strap fastens the holder, the tube section and the two-wheeler accessory to one another. A first end section of the fastening strap extends in the region of the receiving section of the holder, an intermediate section of the fastening strap extends in the region of the support section and a second end section of the fastening strap in turn extends in the region of the receiving section. An operative section of the fastening strap is provided along a part of the first end section and an associated operative counter-section is provided along a part of the second end section of the fastening strap.

  • Patent number: 8596103
    Abstract: A permutation lock includes a plurality of adjustment rings which are rotatable about a common axis to set a secret code and includes a locking mechanism which has a blocking element. The blocking element can be displaced in the axial direction with respect to the axis of rotation of the adjustment rings from a blocking position into a release position. The adjustment rings are rotationally operationally coupled to axially movable driver elements. The driver elements have axial elevated portions, wherein the driver elements cooperate via the elevated portions in the axial direction such that the blocking element is only displaced axially in the release position by means of the driver elements in that the secret code is set at the adjustment rings.
