ABSTRACT:
A lock device for a case having a body and a lid includes a latch member, a lock member, a lock-releasing mechanism and a damper. The latch member is pivotably mounted upon one of the body and lid components of the case and normally biased in the unlocking direction. The lock member is mounted upon the other one of the body and lid components of the case for releasably receiving and locking the latch member when the body is in the state of being closed by means of the lid and for retaining the locked state of the latch member. The lock-releasing mechanism is provided upon the lock member for unlocking the lock member. The damper is engaged with the latch member for damping the movement of the latch member under the influence of the biasing force in the unlocking direction of the latch member.
