ABSTRACT:
An improved, key-operated locking device using an axially fixed rotating arm, employing the anvil and rotating keeper arm concept with the anvil extending laterally from the housing. The keeper arm, with lock cylinder assembly, is firmly retained within the housing through the use of a retaining pin, and is rotatable within the lock housing to move from the lock-closed to lock-opened positions in order to confine or release the slide of a slide fastener on a zipper-type closing fabric bag, utilizing a lower detent pin having a stepped cylinder shape located axially in the tubular bore in the lock housing, which is resiliently biased against the distal end of the lock cylinder assembly, with the smaller diameter end projecting along the axis into the axial keyway just past the lowermost tumbler of the lock cylinder assembly. This pins serves to defeat attempts at unauthorized access by lock picking. On the upper surface of the lock housing is located the upper spring-loaded detent pin which, under the vertical pressure of a helical compression spring, is pushed into a cooperating notch on the lower surface of the keeper arm acting to secure the keeper arm in the lock-closed position and prelude inadvertent opening.
