Rotary dial for combination locks and the like

In a latching device cooperable with a pair of spaced hasps, a pair of spaced latch mechanisms which are biased toward unlatching condition are held in latching condition by respective longitudinally movable control members. A manually rotatable control knob located intermediate the latch mechanisms and cooperable with the control members is movable to a release position which permits the latch mechanisms to be urged into unlatching condition, the latch mechanisms being returnable manually to latching condition. Combination locking means is provided for releasably locking the latch mechanisms in latching condition.

Latching device including combination locking means

A combination lock, including a plurality of dials and associated sleeve ns for each dial, has a plug member which is longitudinally movable to first and second positions and which is cooperable with the sleeve means for being locked in the first position when the dials are off combination. A manually operable latch member formed to engage a hasp is longitudinally movable from a latching position to an unlatching position only when the plug member is not locked in the first position. Longitudinally movable pullers are provided for moving the latch member from latching to unlatching position and from unlatching to latching position, respectively.
