Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2004/104329
Kind Code:
A2
Abstract:
A multiple function lock (10) comprising an engaging element (16) and a captive element (32). The engaging element (16) enters a captive space provided in the captive element (32) for locking the lock (10). The captive element (32) includes a selectable passage (34) into the captive space for permitting the engagement element (16) to be selectively released or secured. The selectable passage (34) is revealed or concealed through translation or rotation of a blocking element. In certain embodiments, the multiple function lock (10) comprises a body (12), a shackle (16) having toe (20) and heel (18) portions, a first locking mechanism (14) for securing the heel portion to the body and a separate second locking mechanism (32) for securing the toe portion to the body. The second locking mechanism (32 )is operative to engage and disengage the toe portion (20) from the body (12) so the shackle (16) may rotate about the heel (18) portion secured by the body (12).
