Patent number: 8769999Abstract: A combination lock includes a lock body, a shackle, a blocker, and a plurality of dials. The shackle includes a long leg and a short leg. The blocker is disposed within the lock body and is movable in an axial direction between a shackle securing position, in which the blocker causes at least one locking member to engage with the shackle, and a shackle releasing position, in which the blocker allows the at least one locking member to disengage from the shackle for separation of the short leg from the lock body. Each dial includes a recess disposed on an outer periphery of the dial. When each dial is rotated to an unlocking orientation, each recess aligns with a corresponding dial engaging portion of the blocker, allowing the blocker to move from the shackle securing position to the shackle releasing position.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2012Date of Patent: July 8, 2014Assignee: Master Lock Company LLCInventor: Zachery Nave

Patent number: 8544301Abstract: A combination lock includes a locking mechanism, a plurality of dials, and a code identifying member. When each of the plurality of dials is rotated to an unlocking orientation, a recess on each of the dials aligns with a portion of the locking mechanism, allowing the locking mechanism to move from a locked condition to an unlocked condition. When the code identifying member is in a dial engaging position, and one of the plurality of dials is rotated to the unlocking orientation, one of a plurality of dial engaging portions of the code identifying member engages the recess of the one of the plurality of dials to provide a perceptible indication that the one of the plurality of dials is in the unlocking orientation.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2007Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: Master Lock Company LLCInventor: Zachery Nave

Patent number: 8539799Abstract: A combination lock includes a locking mechanism, a code identifying member, and a plurality of user rotatable dials, with a recess disposed on an outer periphery of each dial. The locking mechanism includes a plurality of dial engaging members configured to hold the locking mechanism in a locking position. When each of the dials is rotated to an unlocking orientation, the recesses align with the dial engaging members, allowing the locking mechanism to move from the locking position to an unlocking position. When the code identifying member is moved to a code identifying condition, the dial engaging members are in biased engagement with the dials, such that rotation of any one of the dials to the unlocking orientation causes the corresponding dial engaging member to engage the corresponding recess to provide a perceptible indication that the dial is in the unlocking orientation.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2007Date of Patent: September 24, 2013Assignee: Master Lock Company LLCInventors: Zachery Nave, Xian Bo Chen

Patent number: 7934405Abstract: A combination lock includes a lock body, a shackle axially moveable between a retracted position and an extended position, a locking mechanism, and a dial secured to the front side of the lock body. The locking mechanism is movable from a locked condition to an unlocked condition to permit movement of the shackle from the retracted position to the extended position. The dial includes an outer ring portion surrounding a stationary lock body face and rotatable with respect to the face, and a locking mechanism engaging portion disposed between the lock body face and the rear side of the lock body, wherein successive rotation of the dial to a series of one or more predetermined rotational positions causes the locking mechanism to move from the locked condition to the unlocked condition.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2008Date of Patent: May 3, 2011Assignee: Master Lock Company LLCInventors: Gary Burmesch, Eric Mackey, Jesse Marcelle, Zachery Nave

Publication number: 20090282879Abstract: A lock includes a rotary locking member, a locking bolt, and an electrically operable mechanism. The rotary locking member is rotatable about a first axis between a locking position and a releasing position. The locking bolt is configured to hold the rotary locking member in the locking position when the locking bolt is in a first position. The electrically operable mechanism is configured to move the locking bolt in a direction parallel to the first axis from the first position to a second position in response to an electrical signal supplied to the electrically operable mechanism. Movement of the locking bolt to the second position allows the rotary locking member to rotate from the locking position to the releasing position.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2008Publication date: November 19, 2009Applicant: MASTER LOCK COMPANY LLCInventors: Jesse Marcelle, Glenn P. Meekma, Zachery Nave, Paul R. Peot

Publication number: 20090145178Abstract: A combination lock includes a locking mechanism, a code identifying member, and a plurality of user rotatable dials, with a recess disposed on an outer periphery of each dial. The locking mechanism includes a plurality of dial engaging members configured to hold the locking mechanism in a locking position. When each of the dials is rotated to an unlocking orientation, the recesses align with the dial engaging members, allowing the locking mechanism to move from the locking position to an unlocking position. When the code identifying member is moved to a code identifying condition, the dial engaging members are in biased engagement with the dials, such that rotation of any one of the dials to the unlocking orientation causes the corresponding dial engaging member to engage the corresponding recess to provide a perceptible indication that the dial is in the unlocking orientation.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2007Publication date: June 11, 2009Applicant: MASTER LOCK COMPANY LLCInventors: Zachery NAVE, Xian Bo Chen

Patent number: 7516631Abstract: A safe includes a housing, a door and a locking mechanism. The housing includes a lock interface disposed on an external surface of the housing. The housing defines an internal cavity in communication with an opening of the housing. The door is configured to be assembled with the opening of the housing. The door includes first and second shackle legs configured to extend into the housing when the door is assembled with the housing. The locking mechanism is disposed within the housing and includes at least one locking member configured to lockingly engage the first and second shackle legs when the door is assembled with the housing. When the door is assembled with the housing, proper manipulation of the lock interface disengages the at least one locking member from the first and second shackle legs, thereby allowing the door to be removed from the housing.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2007Date of Patent: April 14, 2009Assignee: Master Lock Company LLCInventors: Dean D. Hacker, Steven Hedlund, Zachery Nave, John Weber
