ABSTRACT:
An improved keeper lock for a zipper-type slide fastener. The lock includes a barrel assembly of a tubular barrel and an anvil fixed to and projecting readily from the barrel, the anvil adapted to receive the slide fastener when the fastener is moved to its closed position. A key operated lock assembly is telescopically and rotatably received in the barrel for limited axial sliding movement. A keeper arm is fixed to and projects radially from the lock assembly adjacent to a proximal end of it and the lock assembly and keeper arm are capable of both angular rotation and axial movement so that it may assume a fully telescoped locked position with the keeper arm closely overlying the anvil for confining the slide fastener between the keeper arm and the anvil. It may also assume an unlocked position wherein the keeper arm overlies the anvil and is spaced apart therefrom. The improvement includes means to align the keeper arm over the anvil when the keeper arm is in a partially telescoped and unlocked position such that it may assume a fully telescoped locked position with the keeper arm closely overlying the anvil by applying an axial force to the keeper arm. The alignment means includes an upstanding finger arm, a slidable locking bolt which engages a groove in the barrel.
