Abstract

See full text

A locking mechanism includes a lock and first and second movable members. The lock has a body and a shank, but does not have an exposed shackle. The body defines a slot which opens to an outward surface thereof. The shank is movable within the body between a locked position where the shank is within the slot and an unlocked position where the shank is not within the slot. The second member is disposed within the slot of the lock and is operatively associated with the first member. In operation, when the shank is in the locked position, the shank prevents the second member from moving within the slot of the lock, thus substantially preventing the first member from moving. When the shank is in the unlocked position, the second member is able to freely move within the slot of the lock, thus allowing the first member to move.
