Luggage zipper lock

A key controlled lock mechanism for locking one or more sliders of a zipper fastener, wherein the lock member is of circular disc-like configuration having a cup-shaped cylindrical casing and a rear backing plate assembled together with a circular latch plate rotatable through an arc therebetween. The latch plate has a latch tongue and a recess receiving a key operated locking disc journaled in the casing and shaped to selectively lock or release the latch plate. Various forms of keepers are disclosed to be mounted on a receptacle closed by the zipper fastener or to be coupled with the pull tab of the zipper slider or formed by special shaping of the slider.

A combination lock assembly for use as a zipper fastener lock or an exposed shackle padlock or similar applications, including a lock housing having therein plural dial wheel assemblies located in a first of plural parallel planes, a bolt plate located in another of said planes, and a fence plate located in another of said planes between the dial wheel assemblies and the bolt plate, the fence plate and bolt plate being movable in relatively perpendicular directions, and the fence plate and hub portions of the dial wheel assemblies having coactive shaped surfaces for controlling locking and unlocking movement of the fence plate for locking and unlocking the bolt plate.

Combination lock construction for luggage zipper locks, shackle locks

An exposed shackle padlock including a casing and a U-shaped shackle movable between an outer open position and an inner locked position. A fence plate is supported for rocking movement within the casing about a pivot lug between locking and unlocking relations with a notch in a shorter leg of the shackle. One or more peripherally gated rotatable tumbler wheel members adjacent a fence formation on the fence plate normally prevent its movement to the unlocking position and may form either a key operated locking mechanism or a dial operated combination locking mechanism. The tumbler members in the combination lock form are scrambled during opening movement of the shackle and the fence plate is displaceable relative to the pivot lug to permit return of the shackle to locked position.
