Abstract: A lock bracket is adapted to receive the shackle of a padlock to lock a pedal crank assembly and a rear wheel of a bicycle against rotation relative to the bicycle's frame. The bracket is formed as a welded assembly of a rod, a pair of reinforcing plates, and a pair of lock-receiving plates. The rod has a pair of arms which extend in parallel planes and are interconnected by a 180 degree bend. Each of the arms is L-shaped. The arms are spaced such that they can be threaded (1) through a conventional bicycle pedal, (2) among the spokes of the bicycle's rear wheel, and (3) about a pair of bicycle frame members, whereafter the bracket can be locked in place using a conventional padlock.

Abstract: A bicycle lock mountable on the frame of a bicycle and including a body which stows a "U" or "J" shaped member and a cable or other flexible securing mechanism when not in use. Both are removable from the body with the "U" or "J" shaped member movable into a position encircling a rim of a wheel on the bicycle to prevent it from movement. The cable or the like is movable to encircle a support to which the bicycle may be locked. The cable terminates one end in the body of the lock and the other end in the "U" or "J" shaped member. An integral lock holds the "J" shaped member in fixed relationship with the body and covers or conceals the mechanism securing the body to the frame and bicycle. A retraction mechanism maintains the cable within the body except to the extend withdrawn for locking purposes. In alternate embodiments the cable encircles the lock body for storage. An integral mounting bracket is illustrated as well as a permanently mounted bracket used with a removable lock assembly.

Abstract: A locking device for a bicycle or a corresponding lockable unit, which comprises a locking member swingable from a releasing position through a wheel of the lockable unit to a locking position and vice versa. A catch is provided to receive the free end of the locking member and a cylinder lock is attached to the other end of the locking member; and, in order to move the free end of the locking member into the catch and to remove it therefrom, the locking member has to be turned around a longitudinal axis. The swinging movement of the locking member between its locking and releasing positions is dependent on the turning position of the locking member so that the swinging movement can be carried out only when the locking member is in a certain turning position.

Abstract: A dual-purpose motorcycle lock bar that is adapted to be secured in the locking position between the spokes of the rear wheel to the swing-arm of the motorcycle, and in the transport position to the down-tubes of the motorcycle to provide a raised footrest for the rider.

Abstract: A two piece locking device for a bicycle or the like is constructed from a clevis and a link, wherein the clevis has a pair of mutually orthogonal eyelets at its open end and the link is adapted to be placed first over the eyelet out of the plane of the clevis and then over the eyelet in that plane. A padlock may be positioned with its shackle through the second eyelet to secure the clevis and link in locked engagement with one another.

Abstract: The bicycle lock includes a housing structure secured to the frame of the bicycle under the seat adjacent to the rear bicycle wheel. A C-shaped member is pivoted to the housing structure for movement from an unlocked position to a locked position wherein the member passes under the rear tire and rim portion of the wheel. In addition, the housing includes a spring-loaded cable with one end exposed which can be pulled from the housing and looped about a stationary object such as a post and then re-inserted through an entrance opening in a side of the housing so that the wheel of the bicycle is not only locked against rotation but the bicycle itself is secured to a stationary object. A single cylinder-tumbler type key operated lock functions to simultaneously release the C-shaped member from its locked position and the one end of the cable from the entrance opening.

Abstract: A cable employing device for securing frames to poles and posts; a cable dispensing and recovering casing secureable to a frame which includes releaseable engaging means for one cable end; an improved tensioning system for a cable dispensing casing which ordinarily retains the cable in the casing and returns the cable to the casing after use; a cable retention and return device for use in a cable dispensing container which employs a length of surgical tubing to power the cable retention and return; hinged enclosures for simultaneous enclosure of a cable dispensing system and engagement of a frame support.

Abstract: A removable lock primarily designed for bicycles or the like which is incorporated in the tubular head or sleeve and extends interiorly into the tubular steering stem or post, the lock including tumblers, a stationary housing and an interiorly positioned rotary shaft associated with said tumblers including a pair of spring arms which wind around the shaft in inoperative position and extend outwardly in operative position through said housing interiorly of said stem to prevent rotation of the steering post and withdrawal of the lock. Means are also provided for anchoring a wire rope or restraint on the lock to effectively prevent rotation of the wheels, etc.

Abstract: A locking device for locking a spoked wheel carried in fork prongs comprises a housing mountable on one fork prong, and locking pin receiving means mountable on another fork prong. The housing is provided with a lock lever that is movable between a release position in which the wheel is free to rotate and a locked position in which the lock lever is in line with said locking pin receiving means. A locking pin is mounted within the lock lever and may be moved to protrude from one end of a bore extending through the lock lever. A lock member adapted to move the locking pin is provided adjacent the other end of said bore. The housing and the lock lever are so formed that the lock lever is retained in the locked position between the housing and the locking pin receiving means on removal of a support axle for the lock lever by force.

Abstract: A bicycle lock comprising three units, namely, a ring assembly, a wire cable and a padlock. The ring assembly includes an arcuate tubular ring having a gap therein. A solid metallic rod is slidable in the ring and has a gap therein. The ring is formed on its outer contour with a slot that is closed at both ends. A stem passes through this slot and its inner end is secured to the rod which is moveable into positions either opening or closing the gap in the ring. The ring is formed with two passages either of which is adapted to receive the hasp of the padlock. A transverse bracket on the ring is attached to the frame of a bicycle wheel. The wire cable is formed with a loop at each end. One loop is permanently attached to the ring and the other loop receives a portion of the solid rod when the latter closes the gap in the ring. In unlocked position the latter loop receives the hasp of the padlock which is passed through one of said passages.

Abstract: A bicycle locking device comprising a pair of plates with oppositely extending hooks which engage with the fork of a bicycle. The plates are positioned in abutment with each other, with opposite extended portions of the hooks received in aligning apertures in each respective second plate. The engaged plates include another set of aligning apertures which receive a lock therethrough.
