There is disclosed a protective holder for a padlock, being configured such that when the padlock is held thereby, the holder and padlock form an assembly for releasably interlocking first and second components ("lock assembly"), the holder having a housing which is configured to be supported from or forms part of one of the components so as to be able to receive, upon movement of the first component relative to the second, a catch supported from or forming part of the other of the components whereby to permit receipt of the catch through the space defined within the shank of the padlock in the lock assembly when the padlock is open, the housing being configured with an opening whereby the body in the lock assembly is accessible in a manner such that the body can be pushed to effect closure of the padlock and thus entrapment of the catch once received through the space, whereby the components are interlocked, and such that opening of the padlock can thereafter be effected, whereby the catch and lock assembly are separable, the holder further comprising a retainer received by said space so as to engage the shank and so hold the padlock in position in the lock assembly. coo (9 U'U Co o ClCo ce)) C14 C-44 |
