The invention relates to a zipper device comprising a slider provided with a pull tab (113) having a locking eyelet at its end; a lock comprising locking means able to engage with the eyelet of the pull tab so as to secure and release said eyelet from the lock. The lock comprises a cover (220) that is movable between a closed position and an open position, capable of covering, in the closed position, the end of the pull tab secured to the lock, and of uncovering this end in the open position, the cover being locked in the closed position when the pull tabs are locked in the lock. The invention also relates to a piece of luggage provided with such a zipper device.

A wallet having first and second locking fixtures, the wallet configured to secure money, credit cards and identification with the added advantage in some embodiments that the contents are viewable within the wallet even when the first and second locking fixtures are securely closed.

A mechanical wallet or cardholder can be opened using one hand by sliding a top or second plate along rails parallel to a bottom or first plate. A card arm forces cards in the cardholder (i.e., located between the first and second plates) out a second end of the cardholder in a fanned or stepped fashion. A magnet in the card arm and in a first end of the frame (opposite the second end of the cardholder and frame) cooperate to return and retain the card arm and first plate in the closed position. A card lock at the second end of the frame retains cards in the cardholder when the cardholder is in the closed position and allows the cards to be pushed from the second end of the cardholder by the card arm when the second plate is moved to the open position.

An antitheft device includes, a lock bag with a bag portion made from a cut-resistant material and a cable guide; and a cable lock, including a lock body, a lock cable, and a key; such that the lock cable protrudes through the cable guide to attach the cable lock to the lock bag; such that the lock body is positionable over a side mirror of a vehicle, with the side mirror inside an interior of the bag portion, such that the side mirror antitheft device can be secured and locked in position on the side mirror, thereby preventing theft of a mirror portion of the side mirror. Additionally, the antitheft device can be secured in position with the lock cable attached to a mounting structure with the lock bag closed and a personal object locked in the interior of the lock bag, thereby preventing theft of the personal object.

Described herein is a zipper lock apparatus suitable for locking one or two zipper pulls such as are used for the opening and closing of various compartments of luggage, handbags, diaper bags and so on, as will be known to one of ordinary skill in the art.
