Abstract: The present disclosure describes combination discus locks and associated methods. A lock device configured in accordance with a particular embodiment of the present disclosure includes a discus lock housing, a locking mechanism positioned in the lock housing, and a plurality of rotatable wheels operably coupled to the locking mechanism. The rotatable wheels can individually have a plurality of indicia used to display a combination. The locking mechanism can be configured to move from a locked configuration to an unlocked configuration when the combination is displayed. The lock device can further include a shackle and a slider actuator positioned on an outer surface of the lock housing. The slider actuator can be operably coupled to the shackle and to the locking mechanism, and can be configured to drive the shackle from a closed position to an open position when the locking mechanism is in the unlocked configuration.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes combination discus locks and methods for using and making the combination discus lock assembly. The locks include a lock body at least partially containing a locking mechanism coupled to a plurality of engagement members with indicia disposed thereon, capable of displaying a combination. An actuator is coupled to the locking mechanism and to a locking member. The locking member is in a closed position, connected to the body, when the combination is not displayed and in an open position, at least partially disengaged from the lock body, when the combination is displayed. The actuator is manipulated to move the locking member from the closed position to the open position. The lock may also be resettable.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes rotary-style combination locks and associated methods of manufacture and use. In one embodiment, a lock includes a locking member movable between locked and unlocked configurations with respect to a housing and a dial having characters around the circumference that align with an indicator to enter the lock's combination. The lock can include combination discs having tabs oriented thereon that allow the lock to have a predefined combination including adjacent characters on the dial.

Abstract: A lock assembly comprises a cable with a lock at one end of the cable and a connector is movably secured to the cable. The connector can be connected to the lock when in locked status. The connector has an operation member movably received in a recess defined in a top of the connector and a top end of the operation member exposed outside of the connector. The operation member has a passage which has a larger diameter than that of the through hole in the connector. A spring is received in the connector and biases the bottom of the operation member toward the cable to fix the connector at a desired position on the cable.
