Abstract: This device is a bicycle lock that prevents unauthorized movement of a bicycle. The lock permanently fastens to the tubing of a bicycle frame and includes a locking bar which hooks the front or back wheels to the frame. The lock has two major parts--a combination or key lock and attaching saddle that permanently attaches to the bicycle frame, and, the locking bar or shackle. The saddle is positioned on the frame adjacent to the back or front wheel. The wheel holding part of the shackle hooks around the rim of either the back or front tire. The shackle part fastens into the saddle lock on the bicycle frame in alignment with the frame. This causes the wheel and the frame to be joined so that the wheel cannot be removed and the bicycle cannot be ridden. When the bicycle is unlocked, the locking bar is secured in a carrying position in which it cannot be jarred loose. A flexible cable may be used with the lock to attach the bicycle to a stationary object to render the bicycle immobile.

Abstract: A parking locking system for an articulated or swing-type tricycle. A parking lever mounted to the handlebars of the steerable wheel actuates a cable and a rod. The rod engages a spring loaded slideable pin member into a hole in a plate fixed to the front frame of the steerable wheel. If the pin is not aligned with one of the holes in the plate, the spring will deform and the pin will slide relative to the rod. Upon further rotation of the front handlebars to a position where the pin member is aligned with a hole, the compression in the spring will cause the pin to interengage with the fixed plate thus locking the front steering wheel. The actuation of the cable interengages locking arms with a plate attached to the front of the swing shaft and with a parking gear in the drive train, respectively. A spring-loaded lever resisting interengagement of the locking arms is used to create tension in the cable and retract the locking arms when the parking lever is deactivated.

Abstract: A locking device for securing a bicycle or the like to a post or other fixture. The locking device features a replaceable lock cylinder, which in turn allows for both replacing merely the lock cylinder when the keys get lost and also allows for conforming the lock cylinder of the device to an identical lock cylinder used in the owner's home so that one key, preferably a flat key, services both the device and the home. The lock cylinder cannot, however, be removed when the device is locked and in use. The key, on the other hand, can only be removed when the device is locked.

Abstract: A Parking lock operating device for a motor tricycle is disclosed. The motor tricycle includes a front and rear bodies which are equipped with a single wheel and two wheels, respectively. The motor tricycle is also equipped with parking brake means for braking the movement of the tricycle when stopped and means for preventing the front body from rolling and swinging in parking. The parking lock operating device may effect both the parking brake means and the means for preventing roll and swing motions of the front body relative to the rear body by a single operation lever. In addition, for burglarproof of the tricycle, a key switch cannot be pulled apart unless the operating lever is rotated to a predetermined position after the operation lever is lifted up for parking lock.
