A mobile lock with a retractable cable. The mobile lock is an integral component of a mobile device (e.g., bicycle, scooter, stroller, etc.) or attachable thereto and includes retractable cable that is wrapped around a stationary object (e.g., tree, bike rack, etc.). The retractable cable reconnects to a lock component on a body component of the mobile lock to prevent theft of the mobile. The mobile lock is always available for locking the mobile device. The mobile lock also includes an integral wireless locator system that can precisely locate the mobile device in real-time if stolen. The wireless locator system also automatically send messages (e.g., e-mail, text, instant messages, voice, etc.) and make automatic posts to social networking sites (e.g., FACEBOOK, TWITTER, etc.) and social shopping sites (CRAIG'S LIST, E-BAY, etc.) that the mobile device has been stolen. |

An improved cable lock device incorporating a lock housing incorporating both a cylindrical combination lock and axial friction fingers and associated with a flexible shackle that stores entirely inside handlebars of vehicles that utilize handlebars. The shackle is secured at one end to the lock housing and the other end to a toothed key to be inserted into the anterior end of the combination lock to form a locked loop for securing the vehicle. In the stored configuration of the device in the handlebar the toothed key is retained at the posterior of the lock housing. At its midpoint the shackle is bent substantially 180 degrees and attached to a small ball that will fit inside the handlebars. Resilient rings of fingers are attached on the axis of the lock housing. Upon lock insertion the resilient fingers deform to interior bore of the handlebar for friction locking |

A bicycle lock device for public use is disclosed. The device is comprised of an enclosure, a retractable reel with a retractable cable, a lock/unlock device having a first member attached to the cable free end, and a second member secured in the enclosure, and a lock control device. The user accesses the device by inserting a payment such as a coin or credit card in a user interface of the device. If the payment is accepted, the user then enters a user-specified key code in a keypad on the lock control device. The lock control device unlocks the lock/unlock device. The retractable cable may then be extended. The user weaves the cable through the bicycle components and then enters the cable free end into the lock/unlock device, thereby locking the lock/unlock device and securing the bicycle. When the user later enters the key-code, the device unlocks the cable. |

The invention relates to an anti-theft device for cycles comprising one or more frame tubes and a pedal crank housing attached thereto, characterised in that a through drilling is arranged in the middle of the pedal crankshaft as well as of the fixing screws. In the mid-region of the pedal crankshaft is a recess in which a lock housing with a cylinder lock is arranged. The key of the cylinder lock axially extends through the fixing screw closest to the cylinder lock. On the opposing front face of the cylinder lock an eccentric pin is arranged which co-operates with the front face of a slider displaceably arranged in the recess, by means of an eccentric pin guide. In the front face of the slider, opposite to the eccentric pin guide, a locking groove with a central drilling is arranged, into which the locking head of a lock pin, arranged in the through drilling of the second fixing screw and the pedal crankshaft extends. On the end of the lock pin, extending beyond the fixing screw the pin head is arranged with the adjacent ring guide on the pedal crank side, to which a locking ring is fixed. A flexible securing element, for example, a high-tensile strip, a steel cable or a chain is fixed to the locking head as well as the locking ring. |

The retaining device is designed to be fitted into the end of the handlebar of a personal vehicle such as a bicycle, a motorcycle, an all terrain vehicle, or a personal watercraft. The device has a shackle, a cable, or a spring loaded lever which extends out of the distal end of the handlebar whereby it can be used to retain such items as a motorcycle helmet or a flotation vest. The retaining device can optionally include a lock, which can be either a combination lock or a keyed lock. Advantageously, the retaining device is substantially fitted wholly within the handlebar of the vehicle when it is not being used. In various embodiments a cable can be used, and a cap, which is adapted to fit over said retaining device, can be attached to the distal end of the cable. |
