Abstract:
1. A lock comprising: a lock body extending in a longitudinal direction between a first end partially defining a longitudinal passage and a second end; a lock bar disposed within the longitudinal passage and movable in a longitudinal direction between a securing position proximal to the second end and a release position distal to the second end, with a proximal end portion of the lock bar and the second end defining a first gap when the lock bar is in the release position; and a locking mechanism assembled with the first end of the lock body and partially defining the longitudinal passage, the locking mechanism being operable between a locking condition securing the lock bar against movement from the securing position to the release position, and an unlocked condition permitting longitudinal movement of the lock bar relative to the locking mechanism from the securing position to the release position.
