Abstract: A padlock, which comprises a lock casing and a basically U-shaped shackle slidable therein between a closed and an open position. The shackle has two legs of different length, of which at least one is provided with a locking notch. The padlock also comprises a cylinder lock mechanism, operable by a key, and at least one locking member coacting with a guiding portion of a turnable member of the cylinder lock mechanism for locking the shackle to the lock casing. The locking member is movable dependent on the angular position of the guiding portion of the cylinder lock mechanism between a locking and a releasing position. The releasing position allows the shorter shackle leg to completely slide out from the lock casing. A retaining member is attached to the lock casing in order to keep the cylinder lock mechanism properly fitted in the lock casing. The removal of the retaining member from the lock casing requires turning of the retaining member in relation to the lock casing.

Abstract: A padlock comprises a lock casing and a basically U-formed shackle slideable therein between a closed and an open position. The padlock has two legs of different length, each provided with a locking notch. The longer leg has a head that is somewhat thicker than the general part of the leg for keeping the shackle engaged in the casing in its open position. There is also a cylinder lock mechanism, operable by a key, and locking members coacting with a guiding portion of a turnable member of the cylinder lock mechanism for locking both legs of the shackle to the lock casing. The locking members are movable dependent on the angular position of the guiding portion of the cylinder lock mechanism between a locking and a releasing position. The releasing position allows the shorter shackle leg to completely slide out from the lock casing.
