Abstract: A device for closing a piece of luggage comprising two parts connected by a hinge comprises an elongate case extending along a side of one part opposite the hinge and an elongate keeper extending along a side of the other part opposite the hinge. The case has spaced apertures to receive spaced hook-like hasps of the keeper and contains closing mechanism for releasably engaging the hasps to retain them in the apertures. In one form, the closing mechanism comprises an elongate member extending longitudinally in the case with detent portions to engage the hasps and a central push-button having a cam to engage the elongate member to move it longitudinally to release the hasps when the push-button is pushed in. In another form the closing mechanism comprises two elongate members extending in opposite directions from a central push-button having a cam for moving the elongate members in opposite directions to disengage the hasps.

Abstract: Suitcase comprising two shells (1,2) assembled on one side by a hinge and on the other side by gripping (5,5') (6,6') and lockable closure means. One of the edges (10) perpendicular to the hinge is provided with rolling means (11,12) allowing to move it into two different positions, one of them being almost flat so that the side faces are strongly tilted relative to the rolling plane, the other position being such that the suitcase may almost rest edgewise. Rollers (11,12,21,22) are sunk into alveolus (12,13) containing a support (14) for the axis (15) of said roller. These supports (14) may be separated from the alveolus (13) by pushing on the small tongues (140). The suitcase comprises two handles (5,6) of which at least one allows to hold it on the rollers thereof. The handle (5,6) pivots about two axes (52) set into the side walls of the housing (50); each of the ends of the branches (53,54) comprises a boss (530,540 ) which fits into a corresponding recess of the housing (50).
