DE 20 2007 001 804 U1 describes a motorcycle suitcase system in which two case shells (2a, 2b) are connected to each other by means of a hook-shaped lever "S." There is provided a lock 22 for protecting a small items box Levers "S" by remote control is intended for the central locking of the suitcase on the motorcycle and for securing a small utensils box. The type of operation of the lever "S" is not apparent from the font.

DE 198 45 584 A1 describes a locker with electromagnetic door lock. This known device is based on the task to reduce the height of such a locker that is opened by remote control. This is achieved there by a pivot bolt (9), which is pivotable about a perpendicular to the door plane extending pivot axis (13) by means of an electric rotary magnet (11) against spring force from its locking position. An opening device with a key is not provided. This known device can not be attached to portable containers, since the length of the perpendicular to the door (3) arranged elements, namely a door latch (16) and an electric rotary magnet is too large. In addition, because of the present task, which differs from that of the present, there is no power source in the known device in the interior of the same.

GB 489 564 describes a combination of a snap-lock device which is adapted to easily close a housing "b" with a lid "a" when the device is in the snap-action position and the lid is simply pressed against the housing where it latches releasably. The locking device is arranged in a housing (1) which is mounted on the rear side of the cover "a", the retaining device being in the form of a roller (42) Fastened to the front underside of the housing "b" is a fork element (37) which projects from the front side of the housing (1) to a pressure knob (7) which is connected to a cylinder lock cylinder (6) and which has a slot (Fig. 22) for insertion of a key 14. The longitudinal axis of the cylinder 6 is perpendicular to the front of the housing 1. The area of the cylinder 6 is divided into a first section 8 and a second section 9 The second portion is smaller in diameter than the first portion The key is provided with a front key bit (26) and a rear key bit (27) (Figure 9) Circular shoulder (11), (Fig. 12), limits the path of the push button inward In the area of the rear plate (2) of the housing (1), a closure plate (18) is arranged vertically movable. Slidable on this, a Sch wenklasche (15) pivotally mounted on a pin (16) and is in closed initial position by means of a first spring (17) on the second portion (9). The lower plate slot (20), Figure 4 slides on the pin (16) and the upper plate slot (21), Figure 4, slides on the short pin (19), Fig.11. The closure plate (18) is provided with a vertically mounted boundary strip (23) which is so long that it extends to the front of the outer region of the cylinder (6), Fig.11. The front key bit moves the closure plate up and down and is held in each end position by stops. The front key bit works with a larger turning radius than the rear key bit. The rear key bit engages the edge (28) of the closure plate and the arcuate edge (28.1) of the pivot tab to pivot against the pressure of the first spring (17). In the closed state (Fig.11) prevents the limiting bar pressing the push button. Here, the closure plate is in its upper end position. In this position, the Arretieransatz (24) of the closure plate rests on a nose (25). In this position, the locking device is locked. The locking device is provided with a pivotally mounted arm (29) which is formed at its upper end as a hook (33) which can engage in the roller (42). The lower end of the arm is in its initial position by means of a second spring on the inner circular portion of the cylinder (6). When the lid "a" is pressed against the housing "b", the hook snaps into the roller. By pressing the push button in the unlocked state, the hook is released from the roll. This known device is not useful for portable containers. It differs already in terms of the task of the present invention, in which a push button to open the container is completely excluded.

This known device can not be used for closing portable containers and also assumes a different task than the present invention.

US 3 870 354 A describes a snap-and-close device for a door. This known device is based on the task of designing door-closing device so that it can be brought into two ways of functioning, namely in one in which the door can snap unlocked and held in one in which the door can be closed , The latching and closing device (10) is mounted on the edge (14) of a door on a base plate (12) on which the locking device (50) is arranged, which can be moved vertically up and down by a certain amount with a wrench. Attached to the edge of a door frame (88) is the retainer (80) having two flanges (84; 86) provided with engagement apertures (108; 110). On the closing device (50) two fingers (54; 56) are mounted with a common longitudinal axis at a distance next to each other. The fingers are formed as hollow cylinders, in each of which compression springs (96, 98) are mounted and which are provided at the front end with balls (100, 102). The diameter of the fingers corresponds to that of the engagement openings of the flanges. If the locking device (50) brought into its upper position (Figure 5), so The door can be opened and closed with a snap. The balls are pushed by a small amount resiliently into the fingers. To close the door, the locking device (50) is brought into the lower setting. As a result, the fingers penetrate into the engagement openings (108, 110) and lock the door. This known device can not be used for closing portable containers in the sense of the task of the present invention. In addition, a use of the locking device (50) of the device described would not be possible even when omitting the Schnappfunktions elements because of the geometric arrangement.

DE 692 05 108 T2 describes a locking device with a hook bolt, which is referred to as a safety locking device and which has a first hook and a second hook, which comes to engage when the first hook fails. This known device is intended e.g. Securely lock thrust reverser flaps of aircraft engines. The entire mechanism of this known device is structurally so complicated that it can not be used to close portable containers, especially since several actuators in the form of hydraulic cylinders are required. Although these actuators would be designed as electromagnets, they are just as superfluous to the present invention as a second safety hook.

DE 44 05 547 A1 describes a container, in particular refuse container with container lid and with a device for locking and unlocking the container. This known container is to be locked and unlocked by means of a mechanically acting manual actuator and by means of an electronic key. As the mechanical locking device is designed, this document can not be removed. Therefore, this is also listed in the preamble of the claims. It is only noted that it is known to attach the key to the bulkhead of a refuse vehicle so that it engages in the bulking in a, attached to the upper edge of the container, open at the bottom pocket in which a lock is mounted, so when actuated the key mentioned is moved a bar. In contrast, in column 3, last section, a locking device (50) in the form of a boot latch with its latch 56 and its cylinder 52 of the hand-held called actuator. Reference is made to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 shows a known boot latch. Said document is based on the task of specifying a simple electromagnetic key and a corresponding lock and an associated locking device. The cited document describes two elements, namely an electromagnetic key and a mechanical locking device. The mechanical locking device is described in three embodiments according to Fig.3, Fig.5 and Fig.6. The embodiment according to Figure 3 has already been mentioned. A trunk lock can not be used to close portable containers due to its geometric design and mounting. The second embodiment of the locking device is shown in Fig.5. Also, this embodiment is not useful because of the size and nature of the attachment to a portable container. The cited document describes an electromagnetic key in the form of a transformer powered by an external alternating current source, which inductively supplies power to a transformer mounted inside the container and which is operatively connected to the mechanical locking device and thereby verifies the container - and can unlock. Of course, such an electromagnetic key can not be used to open a portable container in the sense of the present invention.

DE 79 10 097 U1 describes a suitcase with a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism described therein consists of one, in the container part mounted longitudinally movable locking member (17), (Figure 2), which is hook-shaped and whose recess by means of an electromagnet (18) via a bolt mounted in the lid is displaceable. The essential feature of this known case is that the electronic switching device is arranged in an angle-shaped profile carrier (2) which is pivotable inwardly about an axis parallel to the narrow side of the case and thus closes the slot-shaped recess (1) of the container part. In the unfolded state, the coding can be made by means of a keypad and the lid can be opened by pressing a single switch button (7). This known case has considerable disadvantages: the lid does not automatically snap when closing, it can not be opened by means of a key, there is no receiving part for opening Signals provided from the outside and the latch member is after opening up over.

DE 20 2005 010 009 U1 describes a suitcase lock with fingerprint sensor, which is inserted into the outer case shell, which releases the lock, controlled by a mounted in the case electrical circuit in accordance with the attached finger. The lock is an unspecified described mechanical lock, which is electrically operated. The object of this known device is not within the scope of the task of the present invention.

DE 199 61 160 A1 describes a piece of luggage that has a mechanical lock that is designed so that it can be opened with an ignition key of a car or a master key of a locking system. Inside the luggage an electrical, not described opening device is provided, further a current source and a receiving device for wirelessly transmitted signals that activate the opening process, these signals emanating from an ignition key with manually activated transmitter and these signals are different from those associated with Activation of the car electronics serve.

In the upper region of the container 100, here the suitcase according to Figure 1, which has a carrying handle 106, a cover 102 and a container part 101, which are connected below by means of a folding edge 103, under the cover wall 108 two latch housing 207 two locking devices 200 by means a fastening strip 210 attached. The strength, or the rigidity of this fastening strip 210 is the nature of the cover wall 108 adapt, so that even with heavy containers, the locking devices 200 do not change their position. The latch housings 207 are each provided with a latch axis 205, which are arranged parallel to the opening slot of the container 100 and to each of which one or more bars 201 are mounted rotationally fixed. The number of bars 201 depends on the size and weight of the container 100. In the container in the form of the case according to Figure 1, three bars 201 are provided on each latch axis 205. The latch axis 205 is connected to a latch spring 206, e.g. in the form of a spiral spring with the latch housing 207, as shown in Fig.4 and Fig.5. This latch spring 206 exerts a spring force on the latch axis 205, or on the latch 201, so that they are pressed in the direction of the first arrow 1 according to FIG. So that the latch 201 does not project too far upwards when the container is open, a slot is provided in the latch housing 207 for each latch, the upper limit of which forms a stop edge 211, by which the path of the latch is limited upwards. The bars 201 are formed at their front end as locking lugs 202. The locking lugs 202 each have a nose leading edge 203, which are inclined at an angle of approximately 30 degrees to 50 degrees with respect to the locking axis 205, tapering downwards. Behind the nose leading edge 203, the locking lug 202 has a nose recess 204 whose dimensions correspond to that of a pin 301 of a holding device to be described later.

In the upper region of the mentioned container 100, two holding housings 308 of two holding devices 300 are each fastened to the container wall 107 of the container 100 by means of a strip 306, specifically in such a way that in each case one locking device 200 and one holding device 300 are opposite each other when the container is closed. With respect to the strip 306, the same demands are placed on them with respect to the strength as with the mentioned fastening strip 210. This arrangement is shown in FIG. In this embodiment, a wide cover strip 104 provided that after opening the case, the then protruding latch 201 concealed.

The holding device 300 has a displacement bar 302, which are longitudinally displaceable on both sides in guide rails 304. On the slide bar 302 webs 305 are fixed, to each of which a pin 301 is mounted, which are advantageously cylindrical in shape and whose outer diameter correspond to the dimensions of the nose recess 204 of the latch 201, wherein the number of bars corresponds to the pin 301. The journal centerline 303 in this case is identical to the centerline of the lobes recess 204. Instead of the cylindrical configuration of the pegs 301, these may also be shaped differently. It is essential that, as shown in Figure 8, in the closed state of the container 100, each pin 301 is held by a nose recess 204.

8 shows the closed starting position of the displacement bar 302 and in FIG. 4 the latch 201 located in engagement with the pin 301. This functional position is achieved by a respective return spring 307, which is mounted in the holding housing 308 and shown in Fig.8 and Fig.9. In this functional position, the container 100 is closed. On each sliding bar 302, a return spring 307 is arranged which is mounted in each case in a holding housing 308 according to Fig.8 and Fig.9 and which holds the respective sliding bar in the described starting position by means of its spring force.

Fig.5 and Fig.9 show the lock device in the open functional position. In this it comes when the sliding bars 302 is moved longitudinally in the direction of the fifth arrow 5 in Figure 8 by such a measure in the direction of the respective holding housing 308 that the pins 301 are pushed out of the nose recesses 204, wherein the return springs 307 be compressed. The pins 301 are mounted vertically and parallel to each other on the respective displacement bar 302 so that the dimension between two adjacent pins 301 is greater by a small amount than the thickness of a bolt 201. This functional position is shown in Figure 9. During the opening process, the pins 301 slide on the stationary but pivotable and resiliently mounted bars 201, or along their nose recesses 204 along. After complete unlocking are the latch 201, which are each secured to a latch axis 205, each at the top of a stop edge 211 of a slot for each latch 201 in the direction of the first arrow 1 resiliently. This is apparent from Fig.5. The latch axis 205 is provided with a latch spring 206 provided in the latch housing 207 and whose spring force acts in the direction of the first arrow.

If the container 100 is now closed by hand in the direction of the second arrow 2 according to FIG. 5, the nose leading edges 203 are pressed against the pins 301, which thereby moves in the direction of the third arrow 3 according to FIG. Upon further compression of the container part and the lid 102 snap the nose recesses 204 in the pin 301 a. To ensure a secure closure, one or more snap springs 109, e.g. provided in the form of leaf springs, e.g. can be attached to the latch housing 207 and ensure after closing the container according to Figure 4 the frictional connection between the nose recesses and the pin 301. The hand-shutting is done by turning the lock 500 in the direction of the fourth arrow 4 of Figure 8 by means of a key.

To bring the lock device in the mentioned closed functional position, collar-recesses 105 are provided on the cover 102 and the container part according to Figure 4, the width of which corresponds at least to the locking lugs 202, so that their nose recesses 204 detect the pin 301 can. It is an essential feature of the invention that the container in question is closed only by squeezing the container part and the lid by hand and can only be opened by moving the sliding bar 302. Another essential feature of the invention is that, in contrast to the prior art, the bars 201 are not pivoted directly but that they are released by moving the sliding bars 302. In the context of the invention, it is also possible to attach the latch housing 207 to the slots 209 of two return rails 208, which are attached to the mounting rail 210. This makes it possible that when the container is open, the latch 201 can be pushed under the top wall 108. Here, a narrow cover strip 110 is provided. In Figure 8, the lock device according to the invention is shown schematically in its closed functional position. On the top of the container part, a lock 500 is mounted, which is formed according to the thickness of the container wall 107. It is advantageous to design the lock as a cylinder lock, which can be operated by means of a key and which has a two-sided lock lever 501 at the lower end of the element rotatable by means of the key. At both ends of the lock lever 501, a traction device 502 is fixed in each case, which is guided in each case via a guide roller 503 which is rotatably mounted on the strip 306 and is fastened to the relevant displacement strip 302. The traction means may for example consist of a textile tape, a thin, braided wire rope or the like. If now, starting from the functional position shown in Figure 8, the lock lever 501 is rotated by means of a key in the direction of the fourth arrow 4, both sliding bars 302 are moved in the direction of the fifth arrow 5, so that the open functional position shown in FIG. Also, the extendable actuating rod each of an electromagnet 409 are attached to both sliding strips 302, wherein in the mentioned opening operation by hand, the electromagnet is de-energized and its operating rod is inserted without resistance into the housing of the electromagnet 409.

If, on the other hand, an electric opening device 400 is activated for the purpose of opening the container, the lock levers 501 remain in the functional position according to FIG. 8 and the traction means are not tensioned. The electrical opening device 400 has a receiving device 401, which makes it possible either by remote control by means of coded signals or directly to open the container 100, or the sliding strips 302 electrically. The electric opening device 400 is mounted on a board 402, which is mounted encapsulated at a suitable location of the container 100. The coded signals are received via a signal input 404. The software for processing these signals can be stored in an EPROM memory 403 which is arranged on the circuit board 402.

The coded signals turn on an electronic switch 406 which supplies power to the solenoid 409 from a battery 405 causing it to open. On the container 100, a charger terminal 407, a direct connection 408 for shooting a battery or a battery, a lamp 21, a known solar cell 20 and a known charging indicator 22 may be attached. A charge controller 410 is provided for charging the battery 405. The coded signals for opening the container can advantageously be sent from a mobile phone. In this case, it is easily possible to send a code for turning on the lamp 21 for searching and another code for opening the container. Other ways of transmitting the coded signals are also known. namely, Bluetooth devices and ultrasound facilities. Here, the receiving device 401 is to be designed accordingly.

In Fig.10 is shown as a further example of a container 100, a bag 30 which is provided with the lock device according to the invention with only one locking device 200 and a holding device 300th

In the context of the invention, instead of the electromagnet 409, an electric gear motor can be provided, wherein the displacement bar 302 is provided with a toothed rod, in which engages the gear of the electric geared motor. This arrangement is known and useful in principle, when larger, heavy containers a larger number of bars 201 are required. In the embodiment in which an electromagnet 409 is provided for remote opening of the lock device, in the electric opening device 400, a not shown, known time switching element is mounted, which cooperates with the electronic switch 406 in such a way that this the electromagnet 409th after the remote controlled opening of the lock device keeps energized until the cover 102 is really removed from the container part 101. This avoids that after the remote open the lock device is immediately closed again.

In the context of the invention, it is also possible, according to the shape and weight of the container 100, to arrange the lock device according to the invention so that the locking devices 200 on the container part 101 and the holding devices 300, and the electric opening device 400 are mounted on the cover 102. This is apparent from Fig.10.
