ABSTRACT:
A case comprises a pair of sections, one of which carries a hasp and the other of which carries a closure mechanism. The closure mechanism includes a hasp-receiving zone for receiving the hasp in a first direction, and a closure element for engaging and retaining the hasp in a terminal position in the hasp-receiving zone. The closure element is rotatably mounted on a pivot axle, and the pivot axle is movable in a second direction substantially parallel to the first direction. The closure element pivots on the pivot axle between a first position permitting the hasp to enter the zone, and a second position in which the hasp enters a recess in the closure element. By rotating an actuating lever, the closure element is moved to a third position retaining the hasp in a terminal position in the zone.
