<p>A padlock has a lock body (1) of substantially U-shaped form with spaced-apart branches (1a, 1b), a shackle (2) movable back and forth within the lock body (1) between a locked position and a released position and a key-operated lock mechanism (3) within the lock body (1) for locking the shackle (2) to the lock body (1) in its locked position where it is received in both branches (1a, 1b) of the lock body (1). One end of the shackle (2) extends completely through one of the branches (1b) of the lock body (1) to leave a projecting proximal end (2b), which carries a lever element (11) extending transversely with respect to the shackle (2) and providing a handle for turning the shackle (2) relative to the lock body (1). In the locked position the lever element (11) extends over one branch (1b) of the lock body so that a part of it covers the key channel (4) of the lock mechanism (3). <IMAGE></p> |
