Abstract
By employing the present invention, a combination lock is achieved which provides two separate and independent locking members formed in a single combination lock. Preferably, the combination lock of the present invention incorporates, either independently or in combination with a visual indicator, two separate and independent locking members, such as a shackle and/or flexible cable member. In the preferred construction, the elongated flexible cable member is anchored at one end thereof to the housing of the padlock, with the opposed end being removably lockable to the housing. By employing a portion of the shackle as a locking component for the elongated flexible cable, the rotatable dials associated with the combination lock are employed for locking and unlocking both the shackle and the flexible cable. By achieving a combination lock having this unique, dual locking member, the user is provided with a greater sense of security and enhanced protection.
