This invention relates to a lock designed as a clasp to be used for suitcases, boxes, bags or the like, more particularlyone having a bolt held selectively in security or locked position, or unlatchable access position by a single spring.
The invention is directed to the solution of the problem of providing a simple lock with the fewest possible parts where all means for the attachment of the lock on the lid of the suitcase or the like are so covered that they are not visible or accessible from the outside, while such means of attachment are readily eifected reliably with minimum eflfort, and without special tools.
According to the invention the lock is so designed that the spring is the locking member for the bolt when the lock is made secure by a key. However, this spring can be moved by such key into and out of the security position to make the lock serve as a latch. The spring is mounted in a closing mechanism holder, which also carries a pivoted tongue having barbs engaging undetachably in a pocket made fast with the suitcase lid or the like.

Fig. 12 is the view of the pocket from the direction of arrow XII in Fig. 8.
In the lock housing 10 having a top and side and end flanges, a closing mechanism holder 12 is held by inturned fastening edge flaps 14 and is fastened by a tongue 16, articulated at 15, in a pocket 18 provided with barbs,
which pocket is secured at 20 on the suitcase orbag the spring because said bolt has a locking nose adjacent the end of a U-shaped spring and is guided by one leg along a wall of the holder to be displaceable crosswise to the direction of movement of the bolt by a key for such a distance, that, in the unlocked state the locking nose can pass by the bight of arc of the spring, while in the locked state, the bolt strikes against the short leg of the spring in the vicinity of said arc. The sliding movement of the spring is limited in that the rear face of the arc and the end of its long leg abut against opposite fixed parts of the holder. Preferably, the bolt has a second nose, located in the zone of the free outer end of its long leg which yieldingly holds the bolt in the closed position. When the bolt is unlocked by the key, it can be pressed counter to the spring force of this leg toserve as a releasable latch. The head portion of the bolt is beveled so that it can be readily pressed over the upper rounded side of the keeper dog so that the lock can easily be closed. For attachment of the dog the latter is provided with prongs which are driven through the curved slots of a supporting plate and bent over on the side away from the clasp. The slots in the support plate may be provided with additional recesses.
The pocket for the attachment of the tongue provided on the closing mechanism holder is fastened to the suitcase lid or'the'like-by attaching means at its underside.
The invention is described below with reference to examples which are illustrated in the drawing, in which:
Fig. l is a top plan view of the closing mechanism holder and the closing mechanism parts, the face of the lock plate being removed.

lid 22. The lock assembly is biased to open position by spring 24 as shown in Fig. 4.
' Between the closing mechanism holder 12 and lock housing plate 10 is slidably located a spring 26 bent in U form having the long leg 28 and short leg 30, the
' bight or bend of the U designated as are 32. The spring has its shorter leg 30 bent or deformed at 34 to provide a key engageable shoulder located in the zone of the bit of a key insertable through a keyslot provided in an escutcheon plate 74 carried by the housing 10. An opening 36 is located in the holder 12 directly beneath the escutcheon plate 74 and receives the tip of the key shank to serve as a centering guide during manipulation of the key. Thus, depending on the direction of rotation of the bit of the key, the spring 26 can be displaced into the position shown in solid lines or that shown in broken lines. The short leg of spring 26 is also provided near itsterminal portion with valleys 60 and 62 for respective engagement with noses 58 and 42. l
The long leg 28 of spring 26 is guided by the inner face of the intermediate stepped wall portion 13 of the closing mechanism holder while its short leg is guided along the edge of upstanding abutment noses 42, 58 and 44 of the bolt and the abutment 56 of the closing mechanism holder 12. In the closed but unlocked state, the spring valley 62 engages outer nose 42 which lies far as possible away from are 32 of the spring, so that the force of pressure required to depress the bolt in the direction of arrow 40 can conveniently be supplied by a hand, althoughthe. spring, is made. of. relatively heavyi...
spring steel.
The size of the cutout 68 in the forward bottom wall.- of holder 12 and which registers with cutout 70 in the bolt 38, and the width of the. closing dog 48 are so adapted to each other that the dog can. enter into the cutout 68 of the closing mechanism holder and also into said cutout 70 of bolt 38. The bolt is also provided with an. additional cutout 72, in which the key to be inserted can turn.
Thehead of the dog 48 is arched and since the edge of the head 46 of the sliding bolt 36 is beveled, each of these two measures facilitates the penetration of the dog into the cutouts 68 and 70. Alternatively the dog may have two oppositecutouts, so that it forms a bridge.
The dog may be provided with prongs; which can be passed through the support on which it is to be fastened and bent over on the other side. Additionally, the prongs may first be passed through a plate 76 fitted on the support and after passage through the suitcase material bent over behind the latter, the plate 76, shown in Fig. 5, being moreor less, thick for the purpose of adaptation to the thickness ofv the material of the suitcase and of the lid. The two slots for the prongs 78 of the dog are slightly arched and additionally recessed in the center at. 80. The tips. of the. prongs which always stand a little. tapered can thus squeeze through the slots better. Upon further compression of the dog with the underplate, the dogassumes. aforced fit in the plate.
The clasp, which. consists'of a trough-shaped part,'has., according toFig, 7, a platewhich is slightlybowed or arched. The closing mechanism holder 12 bears by its. edge 82 against the edge portion. 84 of the clasp. In the step 13, made a little lower in this model of the closing mechanism 12, a slot is provided through which one end of the leaf spring 24 is passed. The side parts of the troughashaped clasp and of the closing mechanism holder12 are stepped preferably at the level of step 13 at 86 in a; manner that on the bearing side. of the clasp after the attachment thereof and after the closing of. the lock they extend down, to the surface of thesui.t' case lid, while the remainingpart of the. closing mecha nism holder restson the. suitcase surface or that portion with. whichit comes in engagement,
The axle 1.5%, which is mounted in theclosiug. mechar nisrn holder, may be a continuous pinor may consist-got two pins. 88 through whose bore 90 the axle is passed. Tongue 16 has two notches 92 punched into it, and from the tongue rectangular faces 94 are pressed out in such a way that they are bent as barbs 94 as in Figs. 7, 8 and 10 to provide. forwardly facing inclined surfaces 95 and rearwardly facing vertical edges 97 substantially perpendicular to said tongue. To facilitateinsertion, in the pocket 18%,bevels 96 areprovided.
The leaf spring- 24"- which raises the clasp, offrthe tongue 16 extends around. theaxle 15 and rests by its other bent end 98 on the barb 94 of-tongue 169. Support on a difierent point of; the. tongue. may sufiice.
The tongue 16 presents bent-up side-flanges atevmm The. pocket. 18 fastened near the edge 100 of the. suit-.. case lid 22 is made of one piece of sheetmetal and has two cutouts 102, which are large enough for the barbs 94 to engage in them. Pocket 18 has in addition two bores 104, which serve to receive, for instance, two pointed rivets 20 by which the pocket is fastened to the suitcase lid.
Upon application of the clasp to the suitcase lid, it is insertedbythe. tongue 16, inthe direction of. arrow- XII into pocket 18 until the barbs 94 engage. in the cutouts 102. The angle by which the tongue can be raised is limited by the fact: that the rear edge 82 of; holder 12- abuts the. rearedge of the tongue 16 After insertion of the tongue, the clasp can no longer be detached from the pocket 18 because. the bars 94 have snapped in behind the edges of cut out portions at 102 (Fig. ll) and therefore are no longer removable. Moreover, the entire fastening device is covered after the closing of the lock and no longer accessible.
