The spring hasp d is usually suspended in the lock leaf e , which sits in the usual manner on the case lid i, while the lock housing c is firmly attached to the case body. The free end of the hasp is provided i f d with an _eye; in which the bracket g swings freely. '■

The eyepiece is at f th / k ausgeschnit-> to form a bump or a paragraph so that the upward movement of the bracket is limited g. / is a hook-shaped fitting that is attached to the lower side of the lock housing. It is arranged so that the bracket g remains hanging on it as soon as the hasp should accidentally come loose from the fiehauser while it is being carried.
