Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of Invention

The invention relates to a folding lock, and more particularly to a folding lock capable of further embedding and fastening a lock column to prevent thieves from push-opening an insertion groove of a lock seat to achieve an optimum anti-theft efficacy of locking.


2. Related Art

Locks commonly used to fix items in a position to prevent items (such as bicycles) from being stolen include cable lock, U-shaped lock and folding lock. Although there are many types of locks available for locking items, folding lock is still the most convenient, mainly because cable lock and U-shaped lock are large in size and heavy, and take up a lot of space when being stored away. Folding lock can be folded to minimize the volume to make the volume relatively occupy less space when being stored away. Most of the general folding locks are provided with an insertion groove on the lock seat for the end portion of the folding plate to be inserted, and the lock core is linked with the lock column to insert into the insertion hole of the folding plate to complete the locking action. However, the insertion groove of the lock seat of the conventional folding lock can be easily push-opened by thieves using a tool to detach the lock column from the insertion hole of the folding plate, and thus the locking efficacy is lost and the anti-theft effect is still not ideal.
