Abstract:
1. A lock, comprising: a housing; a cable with one end fixed to the housing and the other end detachably connected to the housing, so that an adjustable loop is selectively formed by the cable and the housing; a restrictor rotatably disposed on the housing to selectively wedge with the cable; and a lock unit disposed on the housing, the lock unit being selectively moved among a first position, a second position, and a third position; wherein when the lock unit is moved toward the first position, the restrictor moves along with the lock unit to leave the cable so as to allow the other end of the cable to detach from the housing; when the lock unit is moved to the second position, the lock unit does not contact the restrictor and enables the restrictor to restrict the cable to move toward one specific direction, so as to shrink the adjustable loop; and when the lock unit is moved to the third position, the restrictor wedges with the cable, so that the length of the adjustable loop is fixed and not adjustable.
