ABSTRACT:
An improved combination locking device for suitcases or the like comprises: an open housing body having a pair of protrusions separately formed in the opposing longitudinal sides, and a latching opening in the vertical side; a check plate with a plurality of longitudinally spaced openings formed therein provided in the housing body; a code latch device having a plurality of actuating sleeves and dialing wheels rotatably coupled together installed in the housing body in connection with the check plate; and a manual operating mechanism combined by a coupling frame, a sliding member and a push block installed over the code latch device through a front plate in conjunction with the locations of the actuating sleeves and the dialing wheels; thereby, in addition to performing locking and unlocking functions, the code setting in the latch device can be conveniently changed at any time without opening the suitcase or taking any mechanical operation.
