Abstract
The invention is related to construction, namely, discloses a shackle and a locking device comprising said shackle. The technical effect is improving the performance of the device due to a certain design of the shackle. The technical effect is achieved by the fact that the shackle comprises: a first end; a second end, and a plurality of bends between the first end and the second end, thereby forming: a first segment between the first end and a first bend, a second segment between the first bend and a second bend, a third segment between the second bend and a third bend, and a fourth segment between the third bend and the second end, wherein the first segment lies in a first plane and the fourth segment is substantially co-planar with the first segment, and the technical effect is also achieved by design options of the locking device comprising said shackle.
