A joint lock comprises a lock body that accommodates a combination locking mechanism; and a jointed bar hoop. The combination locking mechanism has a plurality of code rings rotatable about an axis of rotation and a latch that is preloaded along the axis of rotation in the direction of a locked position. The lock body has an introduction opening through which the locking bar of the jointed bar hoop can be introduced into the lock body along an introduction direction that is oriented transversely to the axis of rotation of the code rings, with the locking bar introduced into the lock body being locked to the lock body when the latch is in the locked position and is blocked. The latch and/or the locking bar of the jointed bar hoop has/have at least one slope that is configured to effect an urging back of the preloaded latch from the locked position into a release position on a removal of the locking bar from the introduction opening of the lock body and/or on an introduction of the locking bar into the introduction opening of the lock body.
