ABSTRACT:
A combination lock includes a housing, amount upon which is mounted first and second slide members, and a spring plate. The first slide member carries a stop stud that engages a closing lug as the first member shifts under spring bias in a plane from an open to a closed position. The second slide member is coupled with the first member and shifts in a plane substantially parallel with that of the first member. Additionally, the second member contains recesses capable of accommodating a tumbler disc that enables shiftable motion of the second member only when a cam on the tumbler is aligned with grooves in the mount. The tumbler disc connects with toothed structure on a combination setting wheel, and the spring plate contains respective fingers for biasing the setting wheel against the tumbler and for engaging catch recesses on the setting wheel. The spring plate further contains a finger for biasing the locking lug for ejection from the housing.
