Cable lock and bracket

摘要

In a cable lock and complementary bracket system (10), for securely attaching the cable lock (14) to a bicycle frame (8) when not in use, the bracket (12) has an attachment portion that mounts the bracket (12) to a frame strut (8) and a seat with a cavity (60) into which a lock head (16) of the cable lock (14) fits. The cavity (60) is funnel-shaped to limit movement between the lock head (16) and bracket (12). Optionally, there is an arm on the bracket that includes a tongue that extends into a groove in the lock head (16) to securely retain the lock head (16) in the bracket (12). The tongue is biased into the groove and is manually removable by bending the arm to allow removal of the lock head from the bracket.
