Abstract: A travel padlock for securing an article comprises a housing having a shackle, a key lock and a combination lock. An indicator having at least first and second positions is moved from the first position to the second position upon insertion of an object longitudinally into a key hole of the key lock. In at least one embodiment, at least a portion of the indicator extends beyond the exterior of the housing when in the second position. In addition, in at least one embodiment of the present invention the shackle may be rotated to reset the indicator from the second position back to the first position. Furthermore, in at least one embodiment of the present invention the indicator may be reset from the second position back to the first position without rotating the shackle or unlocking the combination lock. Methods of making and using the padlock are also provided.

Abstract: In accordance with at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, a lock is provided with a key lock mechanism and the lock has the ability to be relocked after the key lock mechanism has been opened and the key withdrawn from the key lock. Embodiments of the present disclosure may include a zipper lock with lock tongues that engage openings in zipper pulls of an article to be locked, a padlock, a strap lock, and a hard luggage lock. Embodiments of the present disclosure may also include an indicator for signaling that the key lock mechanism has been opened by a key. Embodiments of the disclosure may also include indicia for signaling that the lock is of the type which allows the lock to be relocked with the key removed from the key way of the key lock. Alternatively, embodiments of the disclosure may include a retaining function for retaining the key in the lock until the key lock mechanism is returned to a locked state.

Abstract: A padlock with a status indicator includes two locking units. The two locking units operate independently to execute locking and unlocking operations. The lock has a body that contains an indicator in the lock underneath. After the execution of the unlocking operation has been done sequentially, the indicator switches from an indication position to the other indication position. Thus through the window, which is formed on the body surface and corresponding to the indicator location, the indication positions of the indicator may be recognized.

Abstract: A tool device includes a main body, a cutting member and a locking mechanism. The main body is formed with a receptacle for receiving the cutting member. The cutting member is movably mounted on the main body and selectively moves between a first position of being received in the main body and a second position of being removed from the receptacle and ready to use. The locking mechanism is mounted on the main body and changeable between a locking mode and a release mode. In the locking mode, the cutting member cannot be moved from the first position to the second position. While, in the release mode, the cutting member is free to move to the second position for use.

Abstract: A status indicator for a lock includes two locking units that operate independently, to execute locking and unlocking operations. The lock has a body, which contains an indicator and a brake bolt. The indicator is latched by the brake bolt to remain at a selected indication position. When one locking unit executes the unlocking operation, the indicator is driven concurrently to switch to another indication position corresponding to a window, and is latched by the brake bolt without returning. The brake bolt can only release the latch condition on the indicator through the unlocking operation of another locking unit. Likewise, the indicator returns to the original indication position. Thus through the window formed on the body surface, the indication position of the indicator may be recognized.

Abstract: A locking device with dual locking mechanisms, comprising a lock body and a locking member having two inserting ends. The two inserting ends can engage the lock body separately to form an enclosed loop with the lock body to lock an article. Each of the two inserting ends can be moved respect to the lock body or be disengaged with the lock body to open a gap in the enclosed loop. Two locking mechanisms are disposed inside the lock body and can be operated separately to lock the respective inserting ends, thereby the locking device can be locked or unlocked by operating each of the locking mechanisms.

Abstract: A locking device with dual locking mechanisms, comprising a lock body and a locking member having two locking arms. The two locking arms can engage with the lock body separately to form an enclosed loop with the lock body to lock an article. Each of the two locking arms can be moved respect to the lock body or each other to form a gap in the enclosed loop. Two locking mechanisms are disposed inside the lock body and can be operated separately to lock the respective locking arms, thereby the locking device can be locked or unlocked by operating each of the locking mechanisms.

Abstract: A double locking device includes two identical sliders movable close to or separate from one another. The slider has a sliding dock and a latch lock located on the sliding dock. The sliding docks of the two sliders may be moved close to each other and the latch locks may be latched securely through movable hooks. The latch lock is controllable for switching to an unlocking condition or a locking condition. In the unlocking condition, the movable hooks may be moved to a separation position so that the movable hooks release the latching relationship. In the locking condition the two movable hooks cannot be moved in order to maintain the latching relationship and prevent the two sliders from being separated.

Abstract: A tool device includes a main body, a working piece and a locking mechanism. The main body is formed with a receptacle for receiving the working piece. The working piece is movably mounted on the main body and selectively moves between a first position of being received in the main body and a second position of being removed from the receptacle and ready to use. The locking mechanism is mounted on the main body and changeable between a locking mode and a release mode. In the locking mode, the working piece cannot be moved from the first position to the second position. While, in the release mode, the working piece is free to move to the second position for use.

Abstract: The present invention is related to the locking device with extending functions, a body of the locking device can optionally connect different additive members, such as an article with a hanging hole, a timer, a compass, a thermal meter, etc.
