Abstract:
1. A lock with bendable shackle element openable in two ways, comprising a main body, a bendable shackle element, a combination lock core, and a key lock core: said main body being provided at one peripheral wall with a locking slot, two ends of which are separately formed into a first locking hole and a second locking hole; a shifting member being provided inside said main body close to said second locking hole to be deflected through control of said combination lock core, and a blocking head being provided in said main body close to said first locking hole to be moved through control of said key lock core; said bendable shackle element having two ends separately formed into a fixed head and a movable head, said fixed head being pivotally turnably connected to said main body, and said movable head being provided at a free end with a stopper, which is adapted to move into or out of said locking slot via either said first or said second locking hole; whereby when said shifting member and said blocking head are controlled by said combination lock core and said key lock core, respectively, to interfere with said second or said first locking hole, respectively, said movable head of said bendable shackle element is prevented from moving through said locking slot via said second or said first locking hole and thereby locks said lock; and when either said shifting member or said blocking head is controlled by said combination lock core or said key lock core, respectively, to move away from said second or said first locking hole, respectively, said movable head of said bendable shackle element is allowed to move through said locking slot via said second or said first locking hole to open said lock.
