Abstract:
A padlock includes a shell, a shackle, a button and an indicator. The shackle has a long leg, a short leg and an arch section extending between the long and short legs. The short leg is rotatable about the long leg. The button is movable to a blocking position to block the short leg from rotation about the long leg, and to an unblocking position to permit the rotation of the short leg about the long leg. The key-operated lock core is configured to drive the button in one direction to the blocking position and in a reverse direction to the unblocking position. The indicator is movable with respect to the key-operated lock core and the button. The indicator is movable from an original position, toward a first horizontal level that is tangent to the vertex of the arch section of the shackle, to an indicative position outside the shell.

Claim (Index 1):
A padlock comprising:\n a shell; a shackle having a long leg rooted in the shell, an arch section extending from the long leg and disposed outside the shell, and a short leg extending from the arch section and disposed outside the shell, wherein the short leg is rotatable about the long leg; a button, disposed on the shell and configured to move to a blocking position to block the short leg from rotation about the long leg, and to an unblocking position to permit the rotation of the short leg about the long leg; a key-operated lock core, disposed in the shell and configured to drive the button in one direction to the blocking position and in a reverse direction to the unblocking position, wherein the key-operated lock core defines a key hole therein to receive a key; and an indicator disposed at the shell, and the indicator moves from an original position, toward a first horizontal level that is tangent to the vertex of the arch section of the shackle, to an indicative position outside the shell in responsive to a key operation of the key-operated lock core, and once arrived in the indicative position, the indicator is irresponsive to any further key operation of the key-operated lock core.
