Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0613629A2] A case lock for preferably locking a cover element with a base element comprises a projection at the base element with two recesses in its surface. A locking housing (2a) is arranged at the cover element which has a connecting passage and two openings in which bars (3) are arranged so that they can be spring-shifted against each other. A guidance of the bars (3) slides in each opening passage and a bar base in each opening. A bar element (3b) extends downwards with a claw being undercut so that the bar element can be engaged behind one of the recesses of the base element. Each bar (3) comprises a button which is adjacent outwards and/or forwards to the guidance and which operatively protrudes in the most relaxed spring position over the locking housing (2a) to such an extent that the claw (3c) grips behind the recess of the base element. In the spring-tensed condition the bars (3) are shiftable inwards at least to such an extent that the claw (3c) is disengaged with the recess at the base element. The bars are spaced about 10 to 80 mm apart from each other at the front side of the case so that they can be easily pressed together with, e.g., the thumb and the index finger of one hand. <IMAGE>
