DESCRIPTION

Plug lock

Conventional plug locks for bags, suitcases and luggage are designed in such a way that a lower part with a shackle holds an upper part with a push button, whereby the button is pressed down when threading it in and released again after pushing it through under the shackle. The button then snaps into place directly behind the shackle. This design has the disadvantage that when carrying the bag with the handle when it is full and heavy, half of the weight of the bag rests on the back panel and half on both lock buttons, whereby the simple button mechanism, which is undersized for this load, can be affected and in the long term no longer functions smoothly and precisely.

The invention specified in claim 1 is based on the problem of developing a plug-in lock that is able to permanently absorb the weight of a filled, heavy bag without putting strain on the key mechanism.

This problem is solved with the features listed in claim 1. As the lower part of the lock contains the key mechanism, the weight of the bag rests on the solid upper part when it is carried, which is designed for this purpose.

An advantageous embodiment of the invention is specified in claim 2.

The further development according to claim 2 for handling makes it easier to insert the upper part into the lower part thanks to the curves, whereby the thickening prevents the upper part from being pushed too far under the bracket of the lower part.

An embodiment of the invention is explained using Figures 1 - 2. They show:

Fig. 1 Plug lock in front and side view, closed Fig. 2 Plug lock in side view, opened

The figures show the plug lock with upper part (1) with groove (3) and thickening (4), lower part (2) with push button (5) and bracket (6) and their curves (7).

Fig.1 shows how the upper part (1) and lower part (2) are inserted into one another, whereby the push button (5) of the lower part (2) presses the upper part (1) in the groove (3) against the bracket (6) and the thickening (4) prevents the upper part (1) from slipping too far under the bracket (6).

Fig.2 shows how the curves of the touching edges and surfaces (7) support the insertion of the upper part (1) into the lower part (2).

Claims (1)

· I PROTECTION CLAIMS Lock for bags, folders and luggage characterized, that the plug lock consisting of an upper and lower part has a push button (5) and a shackle (6) in the lower part (2) and the solid upper part (1) has a groove (3) for receiving the shackle (6). Plug lock according to protection claim 1. characterized, that the surfaces that touch each other when threading the upper part (1) into the lower part (2) have curves or slopes (7) and that the upper part (1) has a slight thickening (4) where it comes to rest in front of the bracket (6) compared to the area that is pushed through under the bracket (6).
