Closure with bolt and hinge for suitcases - has spring tensioned operating lever held closed by slider

摘要

The closure for a suitcase has a hooked bolt (1) engaging in a hinge (3). The bolt is moved by an operating lever (2) which is spring-tensioned in the opening direction and which is caught in the closed position on its underneath by a slider (4) whose sliding movement can be blocked by a closing mechanism (5) and whose opening movement can be carried out by a button (6) which is mounted next to the operating lever (2). The operating lever, button and closing mechanism can be arranged in a row. The surface (2') of the operating lever (2) can lie flush with the surface (6') of the button (6) in the closed position. ADVANTAGE - Easier use with the operating lever only acting as a closing lever.
