A lock has a keeper plate for attachment to a first relatively moveable part of the trunk, which keeper plate has a peripheral rim bounding a circular keeper opening and having a slot formed therein. An attachment plate is affixed to a second relatively moveable part of the trunk, while a hasp member is hingedly connected at one to the attachment plate and adapted at the other end to overlie the peripheral rim and the keeper opening when in a mated position. A hollow cylindrical bolt housing of cup-shaped configuration is fixed to and projects rearwardly of the hasp member. The bolt housing includes a cylindrical wall having a bolt opening therein positioned to align with the slot when the hasp member and the latching plate assume the mated position. A latching bolt is supported in the bolt housing for movement along an axis paralleling a diameter of the bolt housing, and has a free end portion aligned with the bolt opening. A spring continuously biases the free end portion to project through the bolt opening for automatically interlocking with the slot. A semi-annular lever is mounted behind the keeper plate substantially concentric with the keeper opening, and is pivotable about one end to move the bolt radially inwardly against the spring to free the bolt from the slot in the rim around the keeper opening.

A closing device includes a keeper provided with a retaining element for retaining a bolt in the keeper in a closed position of the device. The retaining element is mounted to be pivotable about and to be axially movable on a rod provided in the keeper and is resiliently biased to both axially slide on and pivot about the rod in such manner that, in an active position, the retaining element projects into an extension of an opening into which the bolt is capable of entering so as to close the device, and it is brought to a retracted position by axially sliding along the rod while being automatically returned to its active position from its retracted position as soon as the bolt is extracted from the keeper under the effect of the resilient force exerted by a spring.

A permutation lock is mountable on one section of a case and is adapted to secure a hasp carried by another portion of the case. The lock comprises a main housing in which a permutation setting mechanism is disposed. That mechanism includes a movable spring-biased locking element which is movable between a locking position and an unlocking position. A movable spring-biased locking bolt is arranged for rotation between a locking position for securing the hasp and an unlocking position for releasing the hasp. When the locking element is in its locking position, it prevents the bolt from moving from its locking position to its unlocking position. The bolt is mounted in an ancillary housing which is connected to the main housing at a rear end thereof, such that a wall separates the bolt from the locking element. The locking element includes a projection which is arranged to project through an opening in the wall when the locking element is in its locking position, in order to prevent rotation of the bolt from its locking position to its unlocking position. The ancillary housing is attached to the main housing only in cases where the depth of the main housing is insufficient to enable the projection to directly reach the hasp.

There is provided a combination plug type lock for briefcases, purses and the like wherein the upper portion is disposed on the flap of a briefcase and includes an outwardly-biased element, the lower portion is disposed on the corresponding opposite part of the briefcase and includes a shackle which slidingly receives the upper portion and engages the outwardly-biased element during closure of the lock, and wherein a locking mechanism is disposed in the upper portion in the region of the outwardly-biased element.
