Abstract: A dial wheel device has a controller. The controller has a positioning rod. An adjuster, a dial wheel module, a seat and a restoring element are mounted on the positioning rod. The dial wheel module has multiple dial wheel assemblies. Each dial wheel assembly has an outer ring and an inner ring. In the code-unchanged state, the outer ring and the inner ring are coactive. In the code-changing state, the adjuster is rotated and the guide element forms a lateral displacement to push the inner ring, and the outer ring and the inner ring are non-coactive. The outer ring is turned to reset the code. When the code-changing state is finished, the adjuster is rotated again and the outer ring and the inner ring are coactive again. Therefore, the components of the code-changeable assembly are simplified and the dial wheel device is easy to assemble and operate.

Abstract: A lock for securing an article on display includes a casing having a front opening and a hook contiguous to the front opening, with a locking body received in the casing. The locking body is formed with a bolt having a front lip that is movable out of the casing through the front opening. In addition, the locking body is designed so that the front lip of the bolt may be extended out of the casing and securely kept alongside the hook until the lock is opened.

Abstract: A tubular lock unit has a lock and key. An upper pin seat and a lower pin seat with multiple pins are respectively mounted in the lock. A shaft is inserted into the lower pin seat and connected to the upper pin seat. The upper pin seat has an annular keyway and a slot is defined in a sidewall. The key has a barrel and a protrusion extending out of the barrel. When the key is inserted into the keyway, the protrusion is inserted into the slot and a lower end of the protrusion meets with an upper end of the lower pin seat to rotate the upper pin seat. When an improper key is inserted into the keyway and rotated, at least one of the pins will remain extended into the upper pin seat to prevent rotation.

Abstract: A combination lock has a latching rod, a positioning rod and multiple combination wheel assemblies each provided with a combination ring, a positioning ring and an abutting ring. Multiple detents are defined in a rear side face of the positioning ring to temporarily receive the bosses in the latching rod while the combination is not able to align the bosses with the cutout in the positioning ring such that any attempt of deducing the correct combination by pulling the latching rod and rotating the combination rings is eliminated.

Abstract: A lock assembly for a cycle includes a lock having a main body integrally formed with an insert, and an appendage having a holder and a latch. The holder is adapted to be fastened to the cycle and has a side slot for snugly receiving the insert of the lock. The latch is movable relative to the holder and is spring-loaded so as to retain the insert in the side slot. Therefore, the lock can be held and carried on the cycle after the insert has been pushed into and retained in the slot, and can be removed from the cycle after the insert has been released from the latch.
