ABSTRACT:
A latch means adapted to lock the luggage, attache cases or the like, comprising two actuating members abuttingly mounted on a same plane, the abutting edges thereof being connected separately to two parallel pivot pins. The two actuating members are movable in opposite directions under the external force, the outer edge of one of the two members is depressible under the external force applied thereto while that of the other of the actuating members can be lifted up. A sliding member is movable in between the two actuating members under the action of the second actuating member, and with the change of position of the sliding member, only when the first actuating member is depressed, can the second actuating member be lifted up thereby permitting the latch bolt to be released from the corresponding hole and the latch means is then in an unlocking position. However, when the second actuating member in a raised position, that is, in the unlocked condition, is simply depressed, the latch means will then be in a locked position and at the same time the first actuating member without having the external force applied thereto will be automatically sprung back to its original position.
