Einhaengeverschluss fuer Koffer und Taschen

摘要

A closure mechanism for suitcases comprises a counter-closure part, and a closure part releasably securable to the counter-closure part. The closure part comprises a base plate and a hasp of generally U-shaped configuration including a pair of legs interconnected by a bight arranged to engage the counter-closure part. The legs define a first pivot axis about which the hasp is pivotable. A handle is pivotably mounted on the base plate for rotation toward the base plate about a second pivot axis. The handle includes first and second mutually inclined lever arms. The second lever arm carries a lift pin located below at least one of the legs of the hasp. A pair of coupling links are pivotably connected to the handle such that rotation of said handle toward a hasp-opening position causes the hasp to be rotated about the first axis by the lift pin. The links are disposed in substantially a dead center position relative to the second pivot axis when the handle is in a hasp-closing position to resist inadvertent opening of the hasp.
