By providing two separate and independent locking system formed in a single padlock construction which is employed for securely holding and locking zipper pull tabs, an effective, easily produced, padlock is achieved which is responsive to both a combination controlled locking system and a key controlled locking system for independently enabling the zipper pull tabs to be released and/or lockingly engaged in response to the activation of either locking system. In the present invention, an easily assembled, compact, highly efficient dual mode, zipper pull locking system is achieved by employing a pair of spring biased locking latch members which are constructed for being inserted in the apertures formed in each of the conventional zipper pulls/tabs employed on luggage, briefcases, and the like.

The present invention refers to a closing device for bags or similar items comprising a male piece (1) and a female piece (2). The male piece (1) is fitted with a pressbutton (3) suited to engaging with an external flange (4) of the female piece (2) to hold the male piece (1) in engagement with the female piece (2) and the pressbutton (3) is positioned in a cavity (6) of the male piece (1) so that it can be moved from a protruding position to a position aligned with the external profile of the male piece (1). The cavity (6) of the male piece (1) includes cam wheels (13, 14) which normally rotate integrally with combination wheels (15, 16) that can be accessed from outside and side arms (17, 18) adjacent to the cam wheels (13, 14) and elastically stressed in side engagement with them so as to assume, in function of the angular position of the cam wheels (13, 14), a locking position of the pressbutton (3) in which said side arms (17, 18) prevent the pressbutton (3) from penetrating inside the cavity (6) in order to align with the external profile of the male piece (1), and a release position of the pressbutton (3) in which the arms (17, 18) leave the same pressbutton (3) free to move between said protruding position to said aligned position.

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Kombinationsschloß mit vier Einstellknöpfen.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, ein preiswertes Schloß dieser Art zu schaffen, das in hohem Maße manipuliersicher ist.

Erfindungsgemäß gelingt dies dadurch, daß vier Basisscheiben (7, 8, 9, 10) mit radialen Nuten (7a, 8a, 9a, 10a) vorgesehen sind, zwischen denen eine kreuzförmige Abtastsperre (11) gelagert ist, die in die Nuten passende Noppen (11b, 11c, 11d, 11e) aufweist, daß auf den Basisscheiben (7, 8, 9, 10) Rastscheiben (13, 14, 15, 16) gelagert sind, in die Einstellknöpfe eintauchen, daß die Basisscheiben (7, 8, 9, 10) achsparallele Bohrungen (7b, 8b, 9b, 10b) mit Kupplungsstiften (23, 24, 25, 26) aufweisen und daß die Kupplungsstifte in eine Umstellplatte (6) eingreifen. Die Umstellplatte wird von der Steuernuß ( 2) so betätigt, daß Basisscheiben (7, 8, 9, 10) und Rastscheiben (13, 14, 15, 16) bei ausgefahrenem Schloßriegel (5) eingekuppelt und bei zurückgezogenem Schloßriegel (5) entkuppelt sind.
