ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a locking device designed to open by tactile manipulation, without visual confirmation, of the locking combination. This device comprises a housing, a securing element, and a plurality of tumbling levers located inside the housing. Each tumbling lever is located in a plane of movement parallel to other planes of movements of the other tumbling levers. Also, each tumbling lever includes a tactile engagement surface and engages the securing element so that movement of a tactile engagement surface disengages the corresponding tumbling lever from the securing element.
