Abstract

See full text

Some designs of combination padlock allow users of the padlocks to set the combinations that unlock the padlocks. However, the operations which a user must perform to set the combination of a padlock typically involve manipulating the shank of the padlock by pulling the shank away from the housing of the padlock or pushing part of the shank further into the housing of the padlock, rotating the shank through a certain angle, and holding or fixing the shank in this position while rotating dials of the padlock to change the combination. Such operations are fiddly, and it can be difficult to remember what steps are required to change the combination. Thus there is provided a combination padlock which goes some way towards overcoming or at least ameliorating one or more of the above problems.
