  • Patent number: 5379618
    Abstract: A locking device of a motor cycle disk brake has a body provided with a slot perpendicular to one of the sides of the body. A locking bolt is disposed in the body such that the locking bolt can be caused to move between a first position and a second position. When the locking bolt is located at the second position, the locking bolt seals off an end of the slot. A locking apparatus is housed in the body and is composed of a lock core capable of being caused to locate at a third position or at a fourth position at such time when the locking apparatus is in an unlocking state or in a locking state. The lock core is coupled with the locking bolt in such a manner that the axes of the lock core and the locking bolt are parallel to each other. The locking bolt and the lock core can be caused to act synchronously. When the locking bolt is caused to seal off the slot, the locking bolt is simultaneously aligned to pass through one of the heat-radiating holes of the disk brake, thereby incapacitating the motor cycle.

  • Patent number: 5365758
    Abstract: A lock for incapacitating a motorcycle disk brake has a lock body containing a locking bolt, a braking bolt, and a locking and unlocking device. The lock body is provided with a slot to receive a disk brake piece of a motorcycle. The locking and unlocking device has a rotatable core capable of turning between a locking position and an unlocking position. When the rotatable core is situated at the locking position, the braking bolt is at the third position so as to confine the locking bolt to the second position. When locking bolt is situated at the second position, the slot of the lock body is sealed off so as to cause the lock body to fasten securely to the motorcycle disk brake, which is then disabled. When the rotatable core is at an unlocking position, the braking bolt moves from the third position to the fourth position so as to cause the locking bolt to move from the second position to the first position.

  • Patent number: 5214982
    Abstract: A ratchet wheel having a locking device, includes a housing, a ratchet wheel disposed pivotally in the housing in such a manner that one end of its axle couples with an external rotating object, a braking member having a shank provided at one end thereof with a wedge angle and at other end thereof with a pivot, and a lock. The pivot is coupled pivotally with the housing in such a way that it moves between a first position and a second position. When the braking member is at the first position, its wedge angle meshes with ratchet wheel. When the braking member is at the second position, its wedge angle disengages from the ratchet wheel. The lock has a lock core capable of moving between a locking position and an unlocking position. The locking position of the lock core corresponds to the first position of the braking member, while the unlocking position of the lock core corresponds to the second position of the braking member.
