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 1):
A padlock operable in a locked mode, an opened mode and a reset mode, said padlock comprising:\n a shackle comprising a heel and a toe, a lock body comprising a first side, an opposing second side, a toe hole on the first side, the toe hole dimensioned to receive the toe, and a heel channel dimensioned for placement of the heel; a spindle located inside the lock body, movable along a first direction substantially parallel to the heel channel, the spindle connected to the heel of the shackle for movement together in the first direction relative to the lock body; a plurality of clutches arranged to form a clutch stack, each of the clutches having an opening dimensioned to receive the spindle; a plurality of dials engageable with the plurality of clutches to form a combination code; and a cylinder arranged for a key operation, the cylinder having a cylinder wall arranged to contact the clutch stack when the padlock is operated in the locked mode, the opened mode and the reset mode, wherein the lock body further comprises a cylinder hole located on the second side of the lock body and a body chamber located near the cylinder hole, the cylinder hole dimensioned to receive the cylinder so as to allow the cylinder to move along the first direction, the body chamber dimensioned for placement of the clutch stack, and wherein the padlock can be unlocked to change from the locked mode to the opened mode by the combination code or by the key operation, and wherein, when the padlock is unlocked by the combination code, the spindle is engaged with the clutch stack for movement together along the first direction, and wherein, when the padlock is unlocked by the key operation, the spindle is disengaged from the clutch stack, allowing the spindle to move in the first direction relative to the clutch stack.
