According to my translator the German term "Schappschloss" means "spring lock" in English. The spring is used to push the U-bolt up when not-locked. At least in Germany the most common type of a padlock is a a spring lock: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/59/Padlock.svg Cable locks for bicycles also work this way.
