ABSTRACT:
A keyless latch lock mechanism for ansate luggage such as an attache case. The mechanism includes a spring biased slide bolt attached at one end to a handle, the distal end being provided with a tail latch registrable with a latch keeper for fastening respective luggage closure members. A retainer element is resiliently urged into socketed engagement within the slide bolt to immobilize the bolt in a locked mode. The retainer element is selectively retractable from the socket when a cooperating index disc is rotated to a preselected setting. The handle is also functional for applying a displacement force to the bolt.
In a variant embodiment, the displacement force is applied by a cam actuated by the handle.
