Abstract: A double zipper lock for a luggage case comprises a base with a housing containing a combination lock, and a U-shaped loop adapted to embrace the housing. Arms of the loop are pivotally mounted on opposite ends of the housing and a bight portion of the loop cooperates with portions of the base to form chambers that, when closed, trap zipper sliders. When the combination lock is set on-combination, the user may lift the loop, to free the sliders, by engaging the bight portion with the fingers of a hand and using the thumb to press a manual actuator inwardly of the housing. The actuator is part of a bolt that is supported for pivotal and translational movement. The translational movement, which is permitted only when the lock is on-combination, causes pivotal movement of a latch member from a latching position to an unlatching position. In the latching position, the latch member prevents lifting of the loop.

Abstract: This invention relates to an apparatus for keeping a spare key in the car. Only when the numbers of the revolving rings are set to the predetermined numbers, a spare key can be taken out because the cap of the apparatus is released from an inlet of the fuel tank. Although a driver has lost his car key or locks the door with his key being left in the car or he does not have a key, he can drive his car by utilization of a spare key which is installed under the fuel tank cap. In case his secret number for the spare key is known to others, he can easily change the number to a new number. And accordingly, although the number for his spare key is disclosed to others, an immediate change of the number prevents his car from being stolen.

Abstract: An adjustable combination numerical lock comprising a hook, a first tray, a second tray, a contact chip, two or more number dials, springs and driving rolls. The number dials, the springs, and the driving rolls are respectively set in the second tray, and the hook wedged with the contact chip is put on the two trays. When this lock is locked, the sliding strips do not engage with the recesses of the driving rolls, thereby allowing the driving rolls to rotate with the number dials. Therefore, the sliding strips will be prevented from sliding up if the combination is off. When the numbers are put into the right combination, the lock is opened and the sliding strips are partly engaged with the recesses so that the hook can be pulled up. The combination of the lock can be changed (while in opening combination) by turning the hook right 90 degrees and then pulling it up so that the sliding strips are completely engaged with the recesses. This keeps the driving rolls from rotating with the number dials.
