[0002] To let bag owners know whether their bags have been opened with a special key using a TSA lock, an indicator block is usually installed inside the lock. The indicator block will change position (switch positions) when the TSA lock is opened, and the bag owner can then know that the bag lock has been opened with a special key (TSA key).
[0003] Publication No. CN215761029U discloses a push-to-open padlock, including a flexible lock beam, a lock case, a button, a lock cylinder assembly, and a combination lock assembly. The button has a keyhole that locks into the movable end of the flexible lock beam, and a pull-out hole that communicates with the keyhole to allow the movable end to be pulled out. The combination lock assembly includes a combination wheel, a dial wheel driven to rotate by the combination wheel, and a wheel axle. The lock cylinder assembly includes a lock cylinder and a rotating tube driven to rotate by the lock cylinder. The rotating part has a push rod for pressing the movable end out of the lock case, and a push-out compression spring is provided between the push rod and the lock cylinder.
[0004] Publication No. CN221422978U discloses a mechanical combination padlock that is easy to install. The outer peripheral surface of the lock cylinder shell has a fixing groove perpendicular to the axis of the lock cylinder shell. The lock body has a first pin hole corresponding to the fixing groove.
