page_text: We, DAVID WAINE and ISAAC WAINE, trading together as John Waine and Sons,
of Brittania Works, Willenhall, Staffordshire, Lock Manufacturers, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:
This invention of improvements in padlocks consists in a novel arrangement, con-
struction and combination of certain of the parts as herein described whereby the
padlock is rendered more secure and other advantages are obtained in the manufacture
as hereinafter set forth.
In carrying out our invention we dispense with the ordinary bow shackle and
arrange the bolt vertically instead of horizontally. The bolt projects beyond the top
of the the padlock casing and is there shaped so as to form part (preferably one half)
of the shackle which is in the shape of a ring divided into halves vertically the other
half of the shackle being made loose from the bolt and hinged thereto at a point
which, when the bolt is drawn back, is inside the padlock case but which is outside
the case when the bolt is shot forward.
The operation of the padlock above described is as follows -When the bolt, which
fits in its hole in the top of the casing, is shot backwards the padlock is locked, as
the point on the bolt where the loose half of the shackle is hinged is now inside the
padlock casing which latter thus holds the two halves of the shackle together, but
when the bolt is shot forwards the padlock is unlocked as the point thereon at which
the loose half of the shackle is binged will then be outside the padlock casing and
the loose half of the shackle can then turn and open out from the other half so as to
allow of the padlock being locked on to or removed from a staple or the like as may
be required.
As a modification of the padlock above described both halves of the shackle may be
hinged to the bolt instead of one of them being formed in a piece therewith and the
shackle may, instead of being ring shaped be a hollow triangle or other shape and
it may be so divided that one half is larger than the other.

page_text: In order to more effectually prevent the shackle being wrenched open by twisting
the outer ends of its two parts sideways, we form a projecting pip on the end of one
part which when the padlock is locked fits into a corresponding hole in the end of the
other part.
The mechanism inside the case for operating the bolt may be similar to that
employed for other locks.
In the manufacture of our improved padlocks a considerable advantage to the
manufacturer is obtained as the size of the shackle can be varied without altering the
size of the padlock casing.

page_text: Improvements in Padlocks.
We, DAVID WAINE and ISAAC WAINE, trading together as John Waine and Sons,
of Britannia Works, Willenhall, Staffordshire, Lock Manufacturers, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention of improvements in padlocks consists in a novel arrangement, con-
struction and combination of certain of the parts as herein described whereby the
padlock is rendered more secure and other advantages are obtained in the manufacture
as hereinafter set forth.
In carrying out our invention we dispense with the ordinary bow shackle and
arrange the belt vertically instead of horizontally. The bolt projects beyond the top
of the padlock casing and is there shaped so as to form part (preferably one half) of
the shackle which is in the shape of a ring divided into halves vertically the other
half of the shackle being made loose from the bolt and hinged thereto at a point
which, when the bolt is drawn back, is inside the padlock case but which is outside
the case when the bolt is shot forward.
The operation of the padlock above described is as follows:-When the bolt, which
fits in its hole in the top of the casing, is shot backwards the padlock is locked, as the
point on the bolt where the loose half of the, shackle is hinged is now inside the
padlock casing which latter thus holds the two halves of the shackle together, but
when the bolt is shot forwards the padlock is unlocked as the point thereon at which
the loose half of the shackle is hinged will then be outside the padlock casing and
the loose balf of the shackle can then turn and open out from the other half so as to
allow of the pallock being locked on to or removed from a staple or the like as may
be required.
As a modification of the padlock above described both halves of the shackle may
be hinged to the bolt instead of one of them being formed in a piece therewith and
the shackle may, instead of being ring shaped be a hollow triangle or other shape
and it may be so divided that one half is larger than the other.
In order to more effectually prevent the shackle being wrenched open by twisting
the outer ends of its two parts sideways, we form a projecting pip on the end of one
part which when the padlock is locked fits into a corresponding hole in the end of
the other part.
The mechanism inside the case for operating the bolt may be similar to that employed
for other locks.
In the manufacture of our improved padlocks a considerable advantage to the
manufacturer is obtained as the size of the shackle can be varied without altering the
size of the padlock casing.

page_text: We will now proceed to describe with reference to the accompanying drawings
the manner in which our said invention is to be performed.
Fig. 1 is a front elevation and Fig. 2 a side elevation of a padlock constructed
according to our invention the padlock being represented as locked; Fig. 3 is a front
elevation of the same unlocked; Fig. 4 is a front sectional elevation and Fig. 5 is a 5
side sectional elevation of the same-locked Figs. 6 and 7 are front.sectional elevations
of the same the lock being represented as unlocked in Fig. 6 and almost locked in
Fig. 7 Fig. 8 is a sectional plan of the same; Figs. 9 and 10 represent details of the
same; Fig. 11 shews the same lock with an enlarged shackle; Figs. 12 and 13 are
part from sectional elevations, and Fig. 14 is a part side sectional elevation, and
Fig. 15 a partial plan of a modified form of padlock represented by the preceeding
Figures, and Figs. 16 and 17 represent details of the said modification.
Referring firstly more particularly to Figs. 1 to 10, both inclusive, in all of which
the same letters of reference indicate the same parts, A is the padlock case, a' is the
keyhole, and B is the bolt of the lock projecting through a rectangular hole c in the
top of the casing. The projecting part of the bolt B is bow-shaped so as to form
part (preferably one half) of a ring-shaped shackle the other half D'of which is made
loose from the bolt B and is hinged or jointed thereto by a pin e formed on the bolt B
passing into a hole d' in a side car of the piece D. The end of the pin e is rivetted
over so as to form a loose joint. The pin è is, for the purposes hereinafter described,
so situated on the bolt B that it is outside the case A when the bolt is shot forward
(see Figs. 3 and 6) and is inside the case when the bolt is withdrawn (see Figs. 1,
2, 4 and 5). The neck 62 of the bolt B immediately below the bow part 1, and the
neck d of the loose bow D), form in cross section à rectangle when together and fit
in the opening c in the top of the casing (see Fig. 8). A shoulder g is provided at
the neck of the bolt B, and the loose bow D, which fit against the top of the casing
when the bolt is withdrawn as hereinafter described. The lower end of the loose
bow D is squared off so as to bear against a stop a² in the case when the bolt is in its
locked position.
The internal mechanism of the padlock, that is that part of the bolt B which is
inside the case and is operated on by the key i to shoot the bolt forward or to with-
draw it, and the mechanism for maintaining the bolt in either its forward or withdrawn
positions, may be similar to the mechanism employed in other locks. The internal
mechanism represented by the drawings is similar to that used in some lever locks,
being the lever turning on a fulcrum k and having at its free end a notch which
engages with a projection m on the bolt B when the bolt is in its locked position.
The lever is moved sideways to free the bolt and the bolt moved forward or with-
drawn in the well known manner by turning the key i.
The operation of the padlock above described is as follows:-When the bolt B is
shot back into the case (see Figs. 1, 2, 4 and 5) the padlock is locked, as the pin e on
which the loose how D turns is then inside the case A which latter, as the necks b*, d²,
fit in the hole c holds the loose bow 1) locked against the bow part of the bolt B,
and the end 3 of the bow D takes against the stop a² inside the casing. When the
holt Bis shot forwards (see Figs. 3 and 6) the padlock is unlocked as the pin e will
then be outside the case and the loose bow D can turn on its joint and be opened out
from the how of the bolt B so as to allow of the padlock being locked on to or
removed from a staple or the like as may be required.
This padlock is self-locking as on pushing the bolt B inwards the projection mon
the bolt acts upon the inclined end of the lever j and, pressing the lever sideways]
(see Fig. 7), passes into the notch and locks the bolt.
In order to more effectually prevent the shackle teing wrenched open by twisting
the outer ends of the two parts b, D, sideways, we form a projecting pip n on the
end of one part which, when the padlock is locked, fits into a corresponding hole o in
the end of the other part.
Instead of one only of the halves of the shackle being made loose from the bolt B
as above described, both halves may be made loose and similarly hinged to the
bolt B as in the modification illustrated by Figs. 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17. The

page_text: two halves of the shackles are respectively marked D³, D²; at the bottom of each of
the parts D1, D2 is a pair of ears, those on D¹ being marked p¹, p' and those on D²
being marked q', q². The end 63 of the bolt B fits between these ears and they are
there jointed by a pin passing through them and through the bolt. As in this
case the hole c does not form a guide for the bolt, an additional guide s is formed
inside the case between which and the stop a' the bolt B can slide. The parts which
we have not described and illustrated in this modification are similar to corresponding
parts in the padlock herein before described and illustrated by Figs. 1 to 10, both
inclusive.
In the manufacture of these improved padlocks there is a considerable advantage,
as the size of the shackle can be varied without altering the size of the padlock case
and the mechanism contained therein; for instance, as shown by Fig. 11 where the
size of the shackle is considerably increased without altering the casing A.
It will be evident that the shape of the shackle can be varied without departing
from the nature of our invention as instead of being ring-shaped it may for instance
be a hollow triangle or an oval ring and it may be so divided that one arm or bow
is larger than the other.
We are aware of the Specification of Linley's patent No. 5376 of 1880 and we
wish it to be understood that we make no claim to anything described and claimed
therein but having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our
said Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare
that what we claim is :
1st. In a padlock and in combination with a padlock case, a shackle formed in
two parts pivotted together so as to have separating movement, one of the said parts
being formed with a support adapted to slide in said case whereby the pivot point
may be projected from or retracted into the case, and suitable operating means,
substantially as described.
2nd. In a padlock and in combination with a padlock case, a shackle formed in
two parts pivotted together so as to have separating movement, the said two parts
being also pivotted to a support adapted to slide in said case whereby the pivot point
may be projected from or retracted into the case, and suitable operating means,
substantially as described.
3rd. In combination with the case A, the pivotted shackle arm D and means
for throwing the pivot point into and out of the enclosing case substantially as
described.
4th. In combination with the case A, the two pivotted shackle arms D¹ D² and
means for throwing the pivot point into and out of the enclosing case substantially as
described.

the manner in which our said invention is to be performed.

according to our invention the padlock being represented as locked; Fig. 3 is a front
elevation of the same unlocked; Fig. 4 is a front sectional elevation and Fig. 5 is a

Fig. 15 a partial plan of a modified form of padlock represented by the preceeding
Figures, and Figs. 16 and 17 represent details of the said modification.
;
Referring firstly more particularly to Figs. 1 to 10, both inclusive, in all of which
the same letters of reference indicate the same parts, A is the padlock case, a¹ is the
keyhole, and B is the bolt of the lock projecting through a rectangular hole e in the
top of the casing. The projecting part of the bolt B is bow-shaped so as to form
part (preferably one half) of a ring-shaped shackle the other half D of which is made
loose from the bolt B and is hinged or jointed thereto by a pin e formed on the bolt. B
passing into a hole d¹ in a side ear of the piece D. The end of the pin e is rivetted
over so as to form a loose joint. The pin e is, for the purposes hereinafter described,
so situated on the bolt B that it is outside the case A when the bolt is shot forward
(see Figs. 3 and 6) and is inside the case when the bolt is withdrawn (see Figs. 1,
2, 4 and 5). The neck 62 of the bolt B immediately below the bow part 61, and the
neck d² of the loose bow D, form in cross section a rectangle when together and fit
in the opening c in the top of the casing (see Fig. 8). A shoulder g is provided at
the neck of the bolt B, and the loose bow D, which fit against the top of the casing
when the bolt is withdrawn as hereinafter described. The lower end d³ of the loose
bow D is squared off so as to bear against a stop a² in the case when the bolt is in its
locked position.
The internal mechanism of the padlock, that is that part of the bolt B which is
inside the case and is operated on by the key i to shoot the bolt forward or to with-
draw it, and the mechanism for maintaining the bolt in either its forward or withdrawn
positions, may be similar to the mechanism employed in other locks. The internal
mechanism represented by the drawings is similar to that used in some lever locks,
being the lever turning on a fulcrum k and having at its free end a notch / which
engages with a projection m on the bolt B when the bolt is in its locked position.
The lever is moved sideways to free the bolt and the bolt moved forward or with-
drawn in the well known manner by turning the key i.
The operation of the padlock above described is as follows:-When the bolt B is
shot back into the case (see Figs. 1, 2, 4 and 5) the padlock is locked, as the pin e on
which the loose bow D turns is then inside the case A which latter, as the necks 12, d²,
fit in the hole c holds the loose bow D locked against the bow part 1 of the bolt B,
and the end d³ of the bow D takes against the stop a² inside the casing. When the
bolt B is shot forwards (see Figs. 3 and 6) the padlock is unlocked as the pin e will
then be outside the case and the loose bow D can turn on its joint and be opened out
from the bow b¹ of the bolt B so as to allow of the padlock being locked on to or
removed from a staple or the like as may be required.
This padlock is self-locking as on pushing the bolt B inwards the projection m on
the bolt acts upon the inclined end of the lever; and, pressing the lever sideways
(see Fig. 7), passes into the notch and locks the bolt.
In order to more effectually prevent the shackle being wrenched open by twisting
the outer ends of the two parts b³, D, sideways, we form a projecting pip n on the
end of one part which, when the padlock is locked, fits into a corresponding hole o in
the end of the other part.
Instead of one only of the halves of the shackle being made loose from the bolt B
as above described, both halves may be made loose and similarly hinged to the
bolt B as in the modification illustrated by Figs. 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17. The

page_text: two halves of the shackle are respectively marked D1, D2; at the bottom of each of
the parts D1, D2 is a pair of ears, those on D¹ being marked p', p2 and those on D2
being marked q', q2. The end 63 of the bolt B fits between these ears and they are
there jointed by a pin passing through them and through the bolt. As in this
case the hole c does not form a guide for the bolt, an additional guide s is formed
inside the case between which and the stop a² the bolt B can slide. The parts which
we have not described and illustrated in this modification are similar to corresponding
parts in the padlock hereinbefore described and illustrated by Figs. 1 to 10, both
inclusive.
In the manufacture of these improved padlocks there is a considerable advantage,
as the size of the shackle can be varied without altering the size of the padlock case
and the mechanism contained therein; for instance, as shewn by Fig. 11 where the
size of the shackle is considerably increased without altering the casing A.
It will be evident that the shape of the shackle can be varied without departing
from the nature of our invention as instead of being ring-shaped it may for instance
be a hollow triangle or an oval ring and it may be so divided that one arm or bow
is larger than the other.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is:
1st. In a padlock and in combination with a padlock case, a shackle formed in
two parts pivotted together so as to have separating movement, one of the said parts
being formed with a support adapted to slide in said case whereby the pivot point
may be projected from or retracted into the case, and suitable operating means,
substantially as described.
2nd. In a padlock and in combination with a padlock case, a shackle formed in
two parts pivotted together so as to have separating movement, the said two parts
being also pivotted to a support adapted to slide in said case whereby the pivot point
may be projected from or retracted into the case, and suitable operating means,
substantially as described.
3rd. In combination with the case A, the pivotted shackle arm D and means
for throwing the pivot point into and out of the enclosing case substantially as
described.
4th. In combination with the case A, the two pivotted shackle arms D' D² and
means for throwing the pivot point into and out of the enclosing case substantially as
described.
5th. A padlock constructed arranged and operating substantially as hereinbefore
described and illustrated by Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 of the accompanying
drawings.
6th. A padlock constructed arranged and operating substantially as hereinbefore
described and illustrated by Figs. 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 of the accompanying
drawings.
