Abstract: Suitcase for transport of tools or the like, which includes a box-shaped bottom (1), a corresponding lid (2) and a flip-up handle (3) on the side of the bottom (1). The bottom (1) and the lid (2) are connected with each other by one or more hinges. A lock is provided for locking the lid (2) to the bottom (1), and said lock includes a latch device (4), which is turnably mounted on the bottom (1) on the same side of the suitcase as the handle (3). Said latch device (4) is adapted so that by turning, it engages with the lid (2) and fixes the lid in its closed position. The latch device (4) and the handle (3) have interacting cam means (22 and 23), which effect turning of the latch device (4) into the locked position when the handle (3) is turned to flipped-up position.
