ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a lock, in particular for a suitcase (1) or the like, having a bolt (22) which engages into a mating lock opening (31), is blocked in its locking engagement position and engages in swinging manner into the mating lock opening (31) and thereupon enters with longitudinal tightening into the locking position; and the position. In order to achieve easy locking and a large, tightening moment exerted by the bolt, the bolt (22) has two actuating surfaces (24, 25) on both sides of a bearing shaft (20) which is displaceable over an arcuate path, one (24) of the actuating surfaces serving for the swinging displacement of the bolt (22) into the mating lock opening (31) while the other one (25) forces the longitudinal tightening by the application of actuating pressure.
