A dial wheel device has a controller. The controller has a positioning rod. An adjuster, a dial wheel module, a seat and a restoring element are mounted on the positioning rod. The dial wheel module has multiple dial wheel assemblies. Each dial wheel assembly has an outer ring and an inner ring. In the code-unchanged state, the outer ring and the inner ring are coactive. In the code-changing state, the adjuster is rotated and the guide element forms a lateral displacement to push the inner ring, and the outer ring and the inner ring are non-coactive. The outer ring is turned to reset the code. When the code-changing state is finished, the adjuster is rotated again and the outer ring and the inner ring are coactive again. Therefore, the components of the code-changeable assembly are simplified and the dial wheel device is easy to assemble and operate.

A positioning assembly for a bicycle lock has a positioning frame, a turning connector and a linking element. The positioning frame is detachably mounted on a bicycle and has a mounting segment and a controlling segment. The controlling segment is mounted on the mounting segment and has a base and two pressing devices. The base has two mounting recesses. The pressing devices are movably and respectively mounted in the mounting recesses of the base. The turning connector is pivotally and detachably connected to the positioning frame and has a pivotal segment and a linking segment. The pivotal segment has two engaging elements mounted in the mounting recesses of the base to engage the pressing devices. The linking segment is formed with the pivotal segment and has an inserting hole. The linking element is detachably connected to inserting hole of the turning connector.

A lock device for use with a key is disclosed. The lock device includes a locking spindle including a plurality of locking spindle bores and a passage extending axially along an axial length of the locking spindle, and a driver structure including a plurality of driver structure bores. An interface between the driver structure and the locking spindle forms a shear line. The lock device also includes a plurality of combination pins in the plurality of locking spindle bores, and a plurality of driver pins in the driver structure bores in the driver structure, the plurality of driver pins being respectively associated with the plurality of combination pins.

A lock for securing an article on display includes a casing having a front opening and a hook contiguous to the front opening, with a locking body received in the casing. The locking body is formed with a bolt having a front lip that is movable out of the casing through the front opening. In addition, the locking body is designed so that the front lip of the bolt may be extended out of the casing and securely kept alongside the hook until the lock is opened.

A tubular lock unit has a lock and key. An upper pin seat and a lower pin seat with multiple pins are respectively mounted in the lock. A shaft is inserted into the lower pin seat and connected to the upper pin seat. The upper pin seat has an annular keyway and a slot is defined in a sidewall. The key has a barrel and a protrusion extending out of the barrel. When the key is inserted into the keyway, the protrusion is inserted into the slot and a lower end of the protrusion meets with an upper end of the lower pin seat to rotate the upper pin seat. When an improper key is inserted into the keyway and rotated, at least one of the pins will remain extended into the upper pin seat to prevent rotation.

A lock assembly includes a casing containing a cylinder assembly, a rotary bolt driver and a shank inside the casing. The rotary bolt driver has a crossbar to selectively abut two stop blocks formed on a latching disk. Thus the rotational movement of the rotary bolt driver is able to move the latching disk inside the longitudinal chamber so as to secure the shank inside the casing.

A lock assembly for a cycle includes a lock having a main body integrally formed with an insert, and an appendage having a holder and a latch. The holder is adapted to be fastened to the cycle and has a side slot for snugly receiving the insert of the lock. The latch is movable relative to the holder and is spring-loaded so as to retain the insert in the side slot. Therefore, the lock can be held and carried on the cycle after the insert has been pushed into and retained in the slot, and can be removed from the cycle after the insert has been released from the latch.

A push-lock includes a body. The body is formed with a channel having a pair of portions. A cylinder is movable in the body between a front position and a rear position, and has a latch rotatably connected thereto. The latch defines two opposed cutouts in a periphery thereof. A clip has a pair of shanks resiliently flexible in the portions of the channel. The shanks normally abut the periphery of the latch. A spring is provided for moving the cylinder back to the front position. Additionally, the latch can be turned relative to the cylinder in such a manner that the shanks snapped in the cutout may be pushed outward by the turning latch till the shanks fully slide out of the cutouts and abut the periphery of the latch again.

A locking head is composed of a body and a casing. The body has a locking core with a keyhole. A locking hole is defined at an outer periphery of the body. The casing is composed of a housing and an end cover. The body is inserted into the housing through a large opening in one end of the housing and the housing has an small opening defined in the other end. A latch opening is defined through the housing and aligns with the locking hole. A plurality of catches is formed in housing and extends out from the large opening. The end cover has a hole aligned with the keyhole and a plurality of slots defined in an inner wall. The catches are respectively attached to the slots to attach the end cover to the housing and securely hold the body in the casing.

Locking head for a cable lock

A combination cable lock includes a cable, a support rod attached to the one end of the cable, multiple first and second locking lugs respectively formed on opposite sides of the support rod, each of the second locking lugs having a dimension different from that of the first locking lug, multiple tumblers each including a number wheel rotatably mounted on the support rod, a follower detachably secured in the number wheel, and containing a first locking recess aligning with and having a dimension corresponding to the first locking lugs, and a second locking recess aligning with and having a dimension corresponding to the second locking lugs, and a number reset device abutting one of the tumblers to detach the follower from the number wheel such that the number wheel can be rotated relative to the follower.
