<p>A bicycle lock bracket system (10), for use with a lock (12) that has a U-shaped shackle (14) and a crossbar (16), that includes at least one spline (262, 276, 292, 204) on the shackle (14) and a body (30) that has a hub (34) at one end and a seat (32) at the other end. The splines (262, 276, 292, 204) may be integral with a shackle leg (20) or located on a tubular collar (220) that is immovably affixed to the shackle leg (20). The hub (34) has an opening (150) along an axis for receiving the shackle leg (20). The opening (150) includes at least one groove (154, 164) that is sized to fit the splines (262, 276, 292, 204). A stop (160, 258, 180) limits relative motion between the shackle (14) and the body (30). It has are several embodiments: a shoulder (258) adjacent to the splines (262), at least one groove (154) having a closed end (160), and a latch (180) extending into and across the hub opening (150). A fastener (136, 126) secures the seat (32) to the bicycle frame strut (8). It has two embodiments: a strap (136) and integral portions (126) of the seat (32) extending around the strut (8) held together by a screw/nut combination (122, 124). <IMAGE></p> |
