ABSTRACT:
A lock for a slide fastener of an article of luggage has a post onto which the gripper flap of the slider of the slide fastener is placed so that the post passes through a hole in the flap. A manually shiftable keeper member on the lock housing has an edge which engages over the gripper flap and is biased against the post by a first spring. A second spring surrounding the post can eject the gripper flap when the keeper member is manually retracted against the force of the first spring. The edge of the keeper member adjacent the post is beveled to facilitate pressing of the gripper flap between the post and the keeper member.
