Abstract:
1. A cable lock comprising: a flexible belt having a buckle member at an end thereof; a lock body having a hole for the belt to slide into and pass through and a slot for receiving the buckle member, wherein the slot has an enlarged slot opening, the lock body together with the belt capable of forming a closed loop; a combination lock mechanism having a plurality of dialing wheels disposed on the lock body, a shaft capable of moving axially, and a repositioning resilient member, wherein the shaft is kept positioned by the repositioning resilient member and receives the dialing wheels to confine the axial displacement of the shaft, and wherein a latch block extends from the extremity of the shaft, and an inclined guide plane and a bulge are defined on the latch block; a first clamp member, disposed on the lock body and having a first button and a fastener positioned inside the slot, being in connection with a first resilient member for allowing the fastener to be kept in a position which buckles the buckle member inserted into the slot, wherein the first clamp member is able to, with the help of the first button, be shifted to a position wherein the fastener releases the buckle member, and acts on the inclined guide plane of the latch block to result in the axial displacement of the latch block together with the shaft; and a second clamp member, disposed on the lock body and having a second button, a pressing plane, and a rabbet, and being in connection with a second resilient member, wherein the second clamp member is able to be pushed to a position which makes the pressing plane hold the belt positioned inside the hole and allows the rabbet to mate with the bulge of the latch block, and wherein after the latch block separates the rabbet and the bulge pushed by the first clamp member, the second clamp member in conjunction with the second resilient member is able to return to a position where the pressing plane relieves the resisting effect on the belt.
