HARDWARE FOR LUGGAGE AND THE LIKE

摘要

Improved hardware for luggage comprises handle studs mounted on a valance member and pivotally supporting latches that are spring-biased to an open position and that are held closed by spring-biased control rods. Manual actuators move the control rods in a direction to release the latches, and a combination lock mounted in one handle stud blocks or permits such movement. In a modification, a single latch and manual actuator are employed with a combination lock disassociated from the luggage handle.
