Abstract:
A padlock has a shackle having a long leg and a short leg, and a spindle with an extended member, the extended member engaged with the long leg of the shackle for movement together. The padlock also has a cylinder to receive a key for key operation, a stack of clutches and a plurality of dials engageable with the clutches to form a combination code, each clutch having an opening to receive the spindle. When the padlock is unlocked by the combination code, the spindle is engaged with the clutch stack for movement together along with the shackle. When the padlock is unlocked by the key operation, the spindle is disengaged with the clutch stack, allowing the spindle and the shackle to move upward relative to the clutch stack.

Claim (Index 9):
The padlock according to  claim 7 , wherein the cylindrical surface of each of the clutches has a surface portion for disposing the plurality of protrusions, wherein when the padlock is operated in the locked mode and in the opened mode, each of the dials is located adjacent to the surface portion of the clutch in the dial-clutch pair and the teeth of each of the dials are engaged with the protrusions of the clutch in the dial-clutch pair, and wherein when the padlock is operated in the opened mode and the shackle has been rotated to cause the reset notch on the heel to align with the reset slot of the heel chamber, the shackle can be caused to move together with the spindle, the clutch stack and the cylinder in a second direction opposite to the first direction for relocating each of the dials away from the surface portion of the clutch in the dial-clutch pair so as to disengage the teeth from the protrusions in the dial-clutch pair.
