Abstract

A lock, in particular a hoop or cable lock, having a lock bolt which can be locked in place in a lock bolt recess of a lock housing, with the lock bolt being loaded in the locked state of the lock by a pad element in the direction of its unlocked position via its end face.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Klobenschloß, insbesondere ein Bügel- oder Kabelschloß mit einem in einer Schließklobenaufnahme eines Schloßkörpers verriegelbaren Schließkloben.The invention relates to a block lock, in particular a shackle or Cable lock with one in a locking block receptacle of a lock body lockable locking block.

Derartige Klobenschlösser werden beispielsweise zur Sicherung von Zweirädern in deren unbenutztem Zustand verwendet, wobei es wünschenswert ist, diese Klobenschlösser bei Benutzung des Zweirades mitzuführen, so daß an jedem beliebigen Ort eine Sicherung des Zweirads vorgenommen werden kann. Zu diesem Zweck werden Klobenschlösser gemäß Stand der Technik bei Benutzung des Zweirades mittels spezieller Halterungen an diesem befestigt.Such block locks are used, for example, to secure two-wheelers used in their unused condition, being desirable is to carry these block locks with you when using the two-wheeler, so that the motorcycle is secured at any location can be. For this purpose, block locks are made according to State of the art when using the two-wheeler by means of special holders attached to this.

Bei den bekannten Klobenschlössern ist es von Nachteil, daß der Schließkloben im Schloßkörper meist mit einem geringen Spiel gehalten ist, was dazu führt, daß bei Benutzung des Zweirades, wenn das Klobenschloß in der Halterung festgelegt ist, Relativbewegungen zwischen Schließkloben und Schloßkörper auftreten, die durch Erschütterungen des Zweirads bedingt sind und letztlich zu einem störenden Klappern führen.In the known block locks, it is disadvantageous that the locking block in the lock body is usually kept with a little play what leads to the fact that when the two-wheeler is used, when the door lock is in the bracket is fixed, relative movements between the locking block and lock body occur due to vibrations of the two-wheeler are conditional and ultimately lead to annoying rattling.

In DE-U-296 18 579 ist ein U-förmiges Hängeschloss beschrieben, das einen U-förmigen Bügel, der an beiden Enden jeweils mit einer Einsteckkerbe versehen ist, einen Schließkopf, eine Blockierplatte mit einem ringförmigen Vorsprung, eine Bewegungsstange mit dem Querschnitt eines abgerundeten lang gestreckten Rechtecks, ein Abschlussstück mit einer darin eingesetzten Spiralfeder, zwei Schließstangen und zwei seitliche Körper mit jeweils einem Einsteckloch umfasst, an dessen Boden sich ein Abstandsstück befindet. Die Schließstangen sind jeweils von einer Schraubenfeder umgeben und in Längsrichtung aufeinander zu bzw. voneinander weg bewegbar und öffnen bzw. schließen so das Schloss. Durch ein Zusammenwirken des ringförmigen Vorsprungs, der Schraubenfedern um die Schließstangen und des Abstandsstücks wird die Bewegung der Schließstangen in Längsrichtung eingeschränkt.DE-U-296 18 579 describes a U-shaped padlock that a U-shaped bracket, each with an insertion notch at both ends is provided, a closing head, a blocking plate with an annular Projection, a movement rod with the cross section of a rounded elongated rectangle, an end piece with a coil spring, two locking bars and two lateral ones Body with one insertion hole each, at the bottom of a Spacer. The locking bars are each one Coil spring surrounded and towards or in the longitudinal direction movable away from each other and thus open or close the lock. By an interaction of the annular projection, the coil springs around the locking bars and spacer is the movement of the locking bars restricted in the longitudinal direction.

In EP-A-0550 412 ist ein Langbügelschloss beschrieben, bei dem Schenkelendabschnitte eines Schließbügels in Schenkelaufnahmen eines Schlosskörpers eingesteckt und durch einen in dem Schlosskörper geführten Schließriegel verriegelt werden. Der Schließriegel ist mit einem Riegelrückzugswerk derart in zwangsläufiger Getriebeverbindung, dass ein Riegelrückzugswerk nur dann in einen Grundzustand zurückkehren kann, wenn der Schließriegel in eine Riegeleingriffstellung zurückkehrt.EP-A-0550 412 describes a long shackle lock in which Leg end sections of a striker in leg receptacles Lock body inserted and by a guided in the lock body Locking bolts are locked. The locking bolt is with a bolt retraction mechanism so inevitable transmission connection that a The bolt retraction mechanism can then only return to a basic state can when the locking bolt returns to a bolt engagement position.

Eine Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, ein Klobenschloß der eingangs genannten Art derart weiterzubilden, daß bei Erschütterungen Klappergeräusche verringert oder sogar vermieden werden.An object of the invention is to provide a block lock at the beginning mentioned type in such a way that rattling noises when shaken can be reduced or even avoided.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Schließkloben über seine Stirnseite im verriegelten Zustand des Schlosses von einem Polsterelement in Richtung seiner Entriegelungsstellung unter Vorspannung gesetzt ist.This object is achieved in that the locking block over its face in the locked state of the lock from one Upholstery element in the direction of its unlocked position under tension is set.

Dadurch, daß das erfindungsgemäß vorgesehene Polsterelement den Schließkloben im verriegelten Zustand des Schlosses in Richtung seiner Entriegelungsstellung beaufschlagt, wird ein mögliches Spiel zwischen Schließkloben und Schließklobenaufnahme aufgefangen bzw. kompensiert, so daß bei in der Schließklobenaufnahme verriegeltem Schließkloben keine oder nur noch sehr geringe Relativbewegungen zwischen Schließkloben und Schließklobenaufnahme möglich sind. Durch diese Verringerung bzw. Beseitigung des Spiels zwischen Schließkloben und Schließklobenaufnahme wird ein Klappern des Klobenschlosses bei Erschütterungen stark verringert oder vollständig vermieden.Characterized in that the cushion element provided according to the invention Lock block in the locked state of the lock towards it Unlocked position, a possible game between Locking bolt and locking bolt receptacle caught or compensated, so that when the locking block is locked in the locking block receptacle no or only very small relative movements between Locking blocks and locking block admission are possible. Through this Reduction or elimination of the game between the block and Closing block catches a clattering of the block lock when shaken greatly reduced or avoided entirely.

Bevorzugt wird das erfindungsgemäße Polsterelement aus Schaumstoff, insbesondere aus feinporigem Polyurethanschaumstoff hergestellt. Diese Materialwahl ermöglicht einerseits eine kostengünstige Herstellung. Andererseits wird es hierdurch möglich, dem Polsterelement die nachstehend noch erläuterten, vorteilhaften Eigenschaften zu verleihen.The cushion element according to the invention is preferably made of foam, especially made of fine-pored polyurethane foam. This On the one hand, the choice of material enables cost-effective production. on the other hand this makes it possible for the upholstery element below to explain advantageous properties.

Bevorzugt wird die Elastizität des Polsterelements derart gewählt, daß es nach dauerhafter oder langsamer, insbesondere innerhalb von mehr als 0,5 s erfolgender Kompression nur langsam, insbesondere innerhalb von mehr als 20 s, vorzugsweise mehr als 60 s in seinen entspannten Zustand zurückkehrt. Durch dieses langsame Zurückfedern des Polsterelements wird erreicht, daß sich das Polsterelement bei kurzzeitigem Öffnen des Schlosses nur geringfügig ausdehnt, so daß beim anschließenden Verriegeln des Schlosses nur sehr geringe manuelle Kräfte aufgewendet werden müssen, um das Polsterelement wieder zu komprimieren. Somit wird insbesondere bei erfindungsgemäßen Zweiradschlössern der Bedienungskomfort erhöht, da ein Zweiradschloß beim Verriegeln bzw. Entriegeln des Zweirads in der Regel nur kurz geöffnet wird, um es von einer zweiradseitigen Halterung zu lösen und anschließend das Zweirad abzusperren bzw. umgekehrt.The elasticity of the cushion element is preferably chosen such that it after lasting or slower, especially within more than 0.5 s compression is slow, especially within more than 20 s, preferably more than 60 s in its relaxed state returns. Through this slow spring back of the cushion element is achieved that the cushion element when the Only slightly extends the lock, so that when you lock it only very small manual forces are applied to the lock need to compress the cushion element again. Thus, in particular in two-wheel locks according to the invention, the ease of use increased because a two-wheel lock when locking or unlocking the Two-wheelers are usually only opened briefly to get a two-wheeler Loosen bracket and then shut off the two-wheeler or vice versa.

Das langsame Zurückfedern des Polsterelements bedingt weiterhin auf vorteilhafte Weise, daß beim Öffnen eines erfindungsgemäßen Schlosses keine starken Kräfte auf den Schließkloben in Richtung seiner Entriegelungsstellung einwirken, so daß der Schließkloben beim Öffnen des Schlosses nicht schlagartig aus der Schließklobenaufnahme herausspringt.The slow spring back of the cushion element continues to cause advantageous way that when opening a lock according to the invention no strong forces on the locking block in the direction of its unlocked position act so that the locking block when opening the The lock does not suddenly pop out of the locking block receptacle.

Weiterhin ist es von Vorteil, wenn die Elastizität des Polsterelements derart gewählt wird, daß es nach schneller oder schlagartiger, insbesondere innerhalb von weniger als 0,1 s erfolgender Kompression schnell, insbesondere innerhalb von weniger als 0,2 s, vorzugsweise weniger als 0,1 s, in seinen entspannten Zustand zurückkehrt. Durch diese Eigenschaft wird erreicht, daß das Polsterelement bei schneller oder schlagartiger Kompression praktisch die Wirkung einer Feder besitzt. Aufgrund dieser Eigenschaft des Polsterelements wird beim "Rütteln" des Schlosses beispielsweise während einer Zweiradfahrt, eine Dämpfungsfunktion erzielt, die dazu führt, daß nur noch sehr geringe Relativbewegungen zwischen Schließkloben und Schließklobenaufnahme möglich sind, so daß letztlich ein "Klappern" des Schlosses bei Erschütterungen stark verringert oder sogar vollständig vermieden wird. It is also advantageous if the elasticity of the cushion element is such is chosen to be faster or more sudden, in particular quickly, in particular, within less than 0.1 s of compression within less than 0.2 s, preferably less than 0.1 s, in returns to his relaxed state. Through this property achieved that the cushioning element with rapid or sudden compression practically has the effect of a spring. Because of this property of the cushion element is, for example, when the lock is "shaken" During a two-wheeler ride, a damping function is achieved leads to only very small relative movements between the locking block and locking block admission are possible, so that ultimately a "Rattling" of the lock greatly reduced or even when shaken is completely avoided.

Bevorzugt ist es; wenn das Polsterelement aus einem stark kompressiblen Schaumstoff besteht, insbesondere, wenn das Polsterelement unter manueller Krafteinwirkung auf weniger als 20 % seines entspannten Volumens komprimierbar ist.It is preferred; if the cushion element is made of a highly compressible Foam is made, especially if the cushion element is under manual Force applied to less than 20% of its relaxed volume is compressible.

Besonders bevorzugt ist es, wenn das Polsterelement mit geringer Kraft, insbesondere mit einer Kraft von 0,2 N bis 5 N, insbesondere von 1 N bis 2 N komprimierbar ist, da sich auf diese Weise das erfindungsgemäße Schloß infolge des geringen erforderlichen Kraftaufwands besonders komfortabel bedienen läßt.It is particularly preferred if the cushion element with little force, in particular with a force of 0.2 N to 5 N, in particular from 1 N to 2 N is compressible, because in this way the invention Lock particularly comfortable due to the low effort required can be operated.

Von Vorteil ist es, wenn die Elastizität des Polsterelements derart gewählt ist, daß es sich im verriegelten Zustand des Schlosses formschlüssig an die Stirnseite und insbesondere auch an an die Stirnseite angrenzende Mantelbereiche des Schließkloben anlegt. Durch diese Eigenschaft wird erreicht, daß sich das Polsterelement bei verriegeltem Schloß genau an die Form des Schließklobens anschmiegt, so daß das Polsterelement nicht nur die Stirnseite des Schließklobens, sondern auch an die Stirnseite angrenzende Mantelbereiche des Schließklobens beaufschlagt. Hierdurch wird also sowohl über die Stirnseite des Schließklobens eine Vorspannung in Richtung der Entriegelungsstellung als auch über die Mantelbereich eine radial nach innen, im wesentlichen senkrecht zur Längsachse des Schließklobens gerichtete Vorspannung erzeugt, so daß letztlich ein Spiel des Schließklobens in der Schließklobenaufnahme sowohl in Längsrichtung des Schließklobens als auch quer dazu verhindert wird.It is advantageous if the elasticity of the cushion element is chosen in this way is that it locks itself in the locked state of the lock the end face and in particular also to those adjacent to the end face Mantle areas of the locking block. Through this property achieved that the padding element exactly when the lock is locked Shape of the locking block hugs, so that the cushion element not only the end of the locking block, but also adjacent to the end Covered areas of the locking block. This will So both in front of the locking block a bias Direction of the unlocked position as well as over the jacket area radially inward, substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the Locking block produces directional preload, so that ultimately a game of the locking block in the locking block receptacle both in the longitudinal direction of the locking block as well as across it is prevented.

Bevorzugt ist es weiterhin, wenn das Polsterelement am Boden der Schließklobenaufnahme im Schloßkörper fixiert ist. Die Fixierung kann dabei zumindest durch eine elastische Klemmung des bereichsweise komprimierten Polsterelements zwischen an die komprimierten Bereiche angrenzenden Bauteilen des Schloßkörpers realisiert sein. Alternativ oder zusätzlich ist es natürlich auch möglich, das Polsterelement durch eine Klebeverbindung im Schloßkörper zu fixieren.It is also preferred if the cushion element on the bottom of the Locking block receptacle is fixed in the lock body. The fixation can thereby at least by an elastic clamping of the regionally compressed Upholstery element between adjacent to the compressed areas Components of the lock body can be realized. Alternatively or in addition, it is of course also possible to use a cushion element Fix the adhesive connection in the lock body.

Bei einer etwas aufwendigeren Ausführungsform der Erfindung wird der Schließkloben mit einem vom stirnseitigen Ende des Schließklobens sowie von der Riegelaufnahme beabstandeten Anschlagelement versehen, welches im verriegelten Zustand des Schlosses an eine Anschlagfläche des Schloßkörpers angrenzt.In a somewhat more complex embodiment of the invention, the Locking block with one from the front end of the locking block as well provided from the bolt holder spaced stop element, which in the locked state of the lock on a stop surface of the Castle body adjoins.

Dadurch, daß am Schließkloben erfindungsgemäß ein separates Anschlagelement vorgesehen ist, welches im verriegelten Zustand des Schlosses direkt an einer entsprechenden Anschlagfläche des Schloßkörpers anliegt, wird ein mögliches Spiel zwischen Schließkloben und Schließklobenaufnahme zusätzlich zur Wirkung des erfindungsgemäßen Polsterelements aufgefangen bzw. kompensiert, so daß Relativbewegungen zwischen Schließkloben und Schließklobenaufnahme noch weiter reduziert werden.Characterized in that a separate stop element according to the invention on the locking block is provided, which is in the locked state of the lock rests directly on a corresponding stop surface of the lock body, becomes a possible game between the locking block and the locking block receptacle in addition to the effect of the cushion element according to the invention caught or compensated so that relative movements between Locking block and locking block intake can be reduced even further.

Bevorzugt wird das Anschlagelement als im verriegelten Zustand des Schlosses zumindest bereichsweise außerhalb der Schließklobenaufnahme zu liegen kommende Hülse ausgebildet. Die Umrandung der Schließklobenaufnahme kann in diesem Fall dann als Anschlagfläche für das Anschlagelement bzw. für die Hülse ausgebildet sein.The stop element is preferably in the locked state of the Lock at least in some areas outside the locking block receptacle coming to formed sleeve formed. The edging of the locking block receptacle can then in this case as a stop surface for the stop element or be designed for the sleeve.

Bei Verwendung der genannten Hülse ist es von Vorteil, daß diese auf einfache Weise auf handelsübliche Schließkloben, insbesondere auf handelsübliche Bügel von Bügelschlössern aufgeschoben werden kann, so daß hinsichtlich der Schließkloben bzw. Bügel keinerlei konstruktive Veränderungen nötig sind. Insofern läßt sich auch diese Ausführungsform der Erfindung äußerst wirtschaftlich realisieren.When using the sleeve mentioned, it is advantageous that this on simple way on commercially available locking blocks, in particular on commercially available Shackle of padlocks can be pushed open, so that no structural changes with regard to the locking block or bracket are necessary. In this respect, this embodiment can also be used realize the invention extremely economically.

Besonders bevorzugt ist es, wenn die Hülse oder zumindest ein Teil der Hülse in Axialrichtung des Schließklobens verstellbar an diesem angeordnet ist. Durch eine solche Verstellmöglichkeit kann die Hülse so nahe an die Umrandung der Schließklobenaufnahme heranbewegt werden, daß ein zwischen Schließkloben und Schließklobenaufnahme bestehendes Spiel vollständig ausgeschaltet wird. Auf diese Weise lassen sich zudem bei Schließkloben und Schließklobenaufnahme bestehende Fertigungstoleranzen problemlos kompensieren.It is particularly preferred if the sleeve or at least part of the Sleeve adjustable in the axial direction of the locking block arranged on this is. With such an adjustment option, the sleeve can be so close the outline of the locking block receptacle are moved in that a Existing game between the locking block and the locking block holder is completely turned off. In this way, you can also Closing block and closing block holder existing manufacturing tolerances compensate easily.

Bei Ausbildung des erfindungsgemäßen Klobenschlosses als Bügelschloß ist es von Vorteil, wenn beide Bügelenden mit je einem erfindungsgemässen Polsterelement und/oder je einer erfindungsgemäßen Hülse versehen werden. Ein Klappern des Bügelschlosses beim Transport wird auf diese Weise besonders zuverlässig vermieden.When designing the block lock according to the invention as a padlock it is advantageous if both temple ends each with one according to the invention Upholstery element and / or provided a sleeve according to the invention become. A clatter of the padlock during transport is on this Avoided particularly reliably.

Weitere bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.Further preferred embodiments of the invention are in the subclaims described.

Der Schloßkörper 1 besitzt zwei Schließklobenaufnahmen 10, 11, in welche jeweils ein Bügelschenkel 3, 4 mit seinem stirnseitigen Ende voran einführbar ist. In der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Verriegelungsstellung sind die beiden Bügelschenkel 3, 4 vollständig in die Schließklobenaufnahmen 10, 11 eingesetzt, und das Schloß ist durch den Eingriff der Verriegelungselemente 7, 8 in die Riegelaufnahmen 5, 6 verriegelt. The lock body 1 has two locking block receptacles 10, 11, in which each a bracket leg 3, 4 with its front end first can be introduced. In the locking position shown in Fig. 1 are the both bracket legs 3, 4 completely into the locking block receptacles 10, 11 inserted, and the lock is due to the engagement of the locking elements 7, 8 locked in the bolt receptacles 5, 6.

Die beiden Enden der Bügelschenkel 3, 4 weisen jeweils ein sich zu ihren stirnseitigen Enden hin verjüngendes, kegelstumpfförmiges Element 12, 13 auf, an das sich zwei zylindrische Fortsätze 14, 15 anschließen, die an ihren, den kegelstumpfförmigen Elementen 12, 13 gegenüberliegenden Enden jeweils angefast sind.The two ends of the stirrup legs 3, 4 each have their own tapered frustoconical element 12 at the front ends, 13 on, to which two cylindrical extensions 14, 15 are connected their, the frustoconical elements 12, 13 opposite Ends are chamfered.

Bei im Schloßkörper 1 verriegeltem Bügel 2 erstrecken sich die zylindrischen Fortsätze 14, 15 mit ihrem unteren Bereich in jeweils einen bodenseitigen Hohlraum 16, 17 des Schloßkörpers 1, wobei diese Hohlräume 16, 17 zumindest bereichsweise jeweils mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Polsterelement 18, 19 gefüllt sind. Die Befestigung der Polsterelemente 18, 19 in den Hohlräumen 16, 17 kann beispielsweise einfach dadurch bewirkt werden, daß die Polsterelemente 18, 19 in komprimierter Form in die Hohlräume 16, 17 "hineingeschossen" werden, woraufhin sich die Polsterelemente 18, 19 dann durch deren Expansion in den Hohlräumen 16, 17 festklemmen.When the bracket 2 is locked in the lock body 1, the cylindrical ones extend Extensions 14, 15 with their lower area in a bottom side Cavity 16, 17 of the lock body 1, these cavities 16, 17 at least in some areas with the cushion element according to the invention 18, 19 are filled. The attachment of the cushion elements 18, 19 in the cavities 16, 17 can, for example, simply be caused thereby be that the cushion elements 18, 19 in compressed form in the Cavities 16, 17 are "shot in", whereupon the upholstery elements 18, 19 then by their expansion in the cavities 16, 17 Clamp.

Die Polsterelemente 18, 19 sind so positioniert, daß sie bei vollständig im Schloßkörper 1 verriegeltem Bügel 2 durch die stirnseitigen Enden der zylindrischen Fortsätze 14, 15 in Richtung der Längsachse der Bügelschenkel 3, 4 komprimiert werden, so daß letztlich die Polsterelemente 18, 19 auf die bereits beschriebene Weise eine in die Entriegelungsstellung des Bügels 2 wirkende Vorspannkraft auf die Bügelschenkel 3, 4 ausüben, um so ein Klappern des Schlosses bei Erschütterungen zu verhindern.The cushion elements 18, 19 are positioned so that they are completely in the Lock body 1 locked bracket 2 through the front ends of the cylindrical Extensions 14, 15 in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the stirrup legs 3, 4 are compressed so that ultimately the cushion elements 18, 19th in the manner already described in the unlocked position of the Exercise bracket 2 acting prestressing force on the bracket legs 3, 4 to to prevent the lock from rattling in the event of vibrations.

Der Detailansicht gemäß Fig. 2 kann entnommen werden, daß die Elastizität des Polsterelements 19 derart gewählt ist, daß es sich bei vollständig in die Schließklobenaufnahme 11 eingeführtem Bügelschenkel 4 an die Form des zylindrischen Fortsatzes 15 formschlüssig anschmiegt, so daß auch ein Spiel des Bügelschenkels 4 senkrecht zu seiner Längsachse vermieden wird.The detail view of FIG. 2 can be seen that the elasticity the cushion element 19 is chosen such that it is complete in the locking block receptacle 11 inserted arm 4 to the Form of the cylindrical extension 15 fits positively, so that play of the stirrup leg 4 perpendicular to its longitudinal axis is also avoided becomes.

Die Fig. 3 und 4 zeigen das Schloß gemäß den Fig. 1 und 2 kurz nachdem der Bügel 2 vom Schloßkörper 1 entriegelt wurde. Da die Elastizität der Polsterelemente 18, 19 im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel derart gewählt ist, daß die Polsterelemente 18, 19 nach dauerhafter Kompression, also nach einer zumindest mehrere Minuten dauernden Verriegelung des Schlosses, nur langsam in ihre entspannte Ausgangsposition zurückkehren, besitzen die Polsterelemente 18, 19 gemäß den Fig. 3 und 4 im wesentlichen noch die gleiche, an die zylindrischen Fortsätze 14, 15 angepaßte Form wie in den Fig. 1 und 2, was zu den vorstehend bereits erläuterten Vorteilen führt.3 and 4 show the lock according to FIGS. 1 and 2 shortly after the bracket 2 has been unlocked from the lock body 1. Because the elasticity of the Upholstery elements 18, 19 selected in the illustrated embodiment is that the cushion elements 18, 19 after permanent compression, that is after locking the Castle, only slowly return to their relaxed starting position, 3 and 4 have the cushion elements 18, 19 essentially still the same, adapted to the cylindrical extensions 14, 15 Shape as in FIGS. 1 and 2, which in addition to those already explained above Advantages leads.

Erst wenn der Bügel 2 längere Zeit, beispielsweise mehrere Minuten, vom Schloßkörper 1 entriegelt ist, werden die Polsterelemente 18, 19 langsam in ihre entspannte Form zurückkehren, die in Fig. 4 gestrichelt dargestellt ist. Jedoch auch ausgehend von dieser gestrichelt dargestellten Position werden die Polsterelemente 18, 19 in die in den Fig. 1 und 2 dargestellte Position zurückkehren, wenn der Bügel 2 wieder in den Schloßkörper 1 eingeführt und dort verriegelt wird. Only when the bracket 2 from a long time, for example several minutes Lock body 1 is unlocked, the cushion elements 18, 19 are slow return to their relaxed form, shown in dashed lines in Fig. 4 is. However, also starting from this position shown in dashed lines the cushion elements 18, 19 into those shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 Return to the position when the shackle 2 is back in the lock body 1 is inserted and locked there.
