A conventional barrel-type combination lock receives a lock element extending from a safety pin housing. The safety pin housing pivotally receives a pin that pivots between an open position and a closed position. When the pin is placed in the closed position relative to the safety pin housing, and the lock element of the barrel-type combination lock is moved to the locked position, the end of the pin is positioned within a pin receiving recess on the barrel-type combination lock so that the pin is locked in the closed position. A conventional chain formed from a series of interlocking links is utilized with the lockable safety pin to enable small articles to be locked to fixed objects. When the chain is not in use, it is stored within a cylindrical chain storage container that, is threadedly received upon the end of the barrel-type combination lock. With the pin closed and the combination lock in the locked position, and with the chain positioned within the storage container and the storage container threaded onto the lock, the personal locking device is of a size convenient for carrying in a purse or pocket of the potential user. |
