    Abstract: The current document is directed to an improved, remotely controlled, internally powered electronic padlock with enhanced security features that, when mechanically compromised, automatically generate alarms. The improved padlock can be opened via a key card placed in proximity to the improved padlock and can additionally be opened in response to receiving a command from a remote controller via network communications. A remote controller can configure the improved padlock, update the configuration of the improved padlock, unlock the improved padlock, and query the state of the improved padlock. A rotating switch, in combination with a translating latch plate and control logic implemented by stored microprocessor instructions and a microprocessor, detects various types of mechanical compromise and initiates generation of an audible alarm.

    Abstract: An anti-vandal padlock has a base, a buckling unit, two anti-sawing sleeves, a ball, and a locking mechanism. The base has a mounting passage and an annular groove formed on an inner surface of the mounting passage. The buckling unit has two straight segments. The second anti-sawing sleeve is rotatably and axially-movably mounted in the mounting passage, and has a ball hole. The ball is mounted in the second anti-sawing sleeve and is capable of protruding out of the ball hole. In the locked state, the locking mechanism makes the ball engage in the annular groove to limit movement of the second anti-sawing sleeve, such that the buckling unit cannot be detached from the second anti-sawing sleeve. The two anti-sawing sleeves are rotatably mounted on the two straight segments such that the buckling unit cannot be sawn off and has a better anti-theft ability.

    Abstract: A padlock is configured to be locked and unlocked by a key and includes a lock body having an internal cavity with a locking mechanism and a keyway extending through the lock body into the internal cavity to provide access to the locking mechanism by the key. The locking mechanism is configured to be selectively moved over a range of positions when the key is received therein to lock and unlock the padlock. The keyway has an eccentric profile that permits the key to be removed from the locking mechanism in only a single position of the range of positions.

    Abstract: A core replaceable hockey lock includes a first end face and a second end face. The first end face includes a first cavity, a second cavity, a third cavity and a fourth cavity. The end face includes a core hole which communicates with the second cavity. A lateral hole is defined radially in the lock and communicates with the first and fourth cavities. A locking member is located in the second cavity and includes a connection portion connected to the transmission portion, and a stop plate which slides in the third cavity when the locking member is rotated. A locking part is located in the fourth cavity. A shackle is located in the lateral hole and includes a neck located corresponding to the fourth cavity and the locking part. The first cavity and the core hole are parallel to each other. The core is replaceable by removing the cover.

    Abstract: A combination lock has a touch panel to receive a keypad entry code indicative of a combination code for unlocking the lock with various access levels, including a first level and second level. The combination lock is also arranged to receive the combination code from a mobile device via wireless signals. The combination lock also has an independent key-lock mechanism for unlocking the lock with a key. The mobile device has an application icon, when activated, prompting the wireless signals indicative of the combination code. The mobile device also has a deactivation icon and re-activation associated with the combination code of the first level. The deactivation icon causes the disablement of the touch panel and the key-lock mechanism when activated. The re-activation icon terminates the disablement of the touch panel and the key-lock mechanism when activated.
