Abstract: A portable electronic lock comprises a lock body and a securing part, an electric motor, an entrainer, a rotating latch, a return spring, a blocking mechanism, and a control circuit. The rotating latch can, starting from a locking position, be driven by the entrainer against the force of the return spring into an unlocking position in which the securing part is unlocked for a movement into an open position, wherein the entrainer is rotated back into a starting position utilizing a rotational clearance. The blocking mechanism first blocks the rotating latch in the unlocking position against a return movement. By moving the securing part into a closed position, the blocking mechanism is released to trigger an unblocking of the rotating latch and thus a relaxing of the return spring so that the rotating latch is mechanically driven by the return spring to make a return movement into the locking position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a locking system comprising an electrically actuable mobile lock and an activation means that comprises a virtual key associated with the lock and that serves, on an interaction with a first mobile end device, to transfer the virtual key to the first mobile end device and to store it therein, with the virtual key serving to establish an encrypted data communication connection between the first mobile end device and the lock to couple the first mobile end device to the lock and to authorize the first mobile end device to actuate the lock. The invention further deals with a method of coupling a mobile end device to an electrically actuable mobile lock for the purpose of actuating the lock by means of the mobile end device.
