ABSTRACT:
A luggage lock for locking together the two shells of a luggage case. The lock includes a housing adapted to be mounted in one of the luggage case shells and which is secured to the shell by a threaded cap. A hook member is adapted to be mounted in the other one of the luggage case shells. A button is reciprocally mounted in the housing for movement between retracted and projected positions. A spring is positioned between the button and the cap to bias the button to its outward retracted position. The button includes a locking edge portion which projects into the path of travel of the hook when the case is closed whereby the hook end engages and overlies the locking edge to fasten the lock. The lock is unfastened by displacing the button to its projected position, against the action of the spring, to disengage the hook end from the locking edge to permit the case to be opened.
