A combination lock is provided, the lock having a latch movably mounted to a housing of the lock for movement between a locked position and an unlocked position; and a bolt movably mounted to the housing of the lock for movement between a first position and a second position, wherein the combination lock is a key-controlled combination changing permutation lock wherein a button disposed away from a rear exterior surface of the housing in a first direction rearwardly away from the rear exterior surface is depressed in order to change the combination of the combination lock and the housing has a button protection feature extending rearwardly away from the rear exterior surface of the housing in the first direction proximate to the button and the button protection feature extends farther away from the rear exterior surface of the housing in the first direction than the button.

An apparatus for selectively securing at least a first zipper closure mechanism and a second zipper closure mechanism of a luggage case, may include a lock device coupled to the luggage case. The lock device includes a lock mechanism operable between a locked and unlocked configuration, at least two securing recesses for releasable receipt of at least a portion of each of the respective first and second zipper closure mechanisms and at least one release member for actuating the lock mechanism.

A combination lock is provided, the combination lock having a rotary latch configured for rotation between a locked position and an unlocked position, the rotary latch rotating in a first plane; and a bolt configured for movement between a first position and a second position along a second plane the second plane being oriented at a different location than the first plane, the bolt engaging the rotary latch in the first position such that rotation of the rotary latch from the locked position to the unlocked position is prevented.

An apparatus for selectively securing at least a first zipper closure mechanism 125 and a second zipper closure mechanism 135 of a luggage case 100, may include a lock device 145 coupled to the luggage case 100. The lock device 145 includes a lock mechanism 158 operable between a locked and unlocked configuration, at least two securing recesses 151, 152, 153, 154 for releasable receipt of at least a portion of each of the respective first and second zipper closure mechanisms 125, 135, and at least one release member 160 for actuating the lock mechanism 158.

A combination lock is provided, the lock having a latch movably mounted to a housing of the lock for movement between a locked position and an unlocked position; and a bolt movably mounted to the housing of the lock for movement between a first position and a second position, wherein the combination lock is a key-controlled combination changing permutation lock wherein a button disposed away from a rear exterior surface of the housing in a first direction rearwardly away from the rear exterior surface is depressed in order to change the combination of the combination lock and the housing has a button protection feature extending rearwardly away from the rear exterior surface of the housing in the first direction proximate to the button and the button protection feature extends farther away from the rear exterior surface of the housing in the first direction than the button.

The disclosure provides a combination lock for locking a closure member. The combination lock comprises a lock assembly comprising a latch bolt and a latch bolt actuating mechanism moveable between a rest state and an actuated state and the combination lock comprising a combination locking mechanism moveable between a blocking state and an unblocking state, and comprises a frame, a combination input means, a combination alteration means, and a cover. The cover is moveably mounted on the frame between an open position in which the combination alteration means are accessible by a user, and a closed position in which the combination alteration means are not accessible by a user, and the cover is moveable from its closed position to its open position when the combination locking mechanism is in its unblocking state and the latch bolt actuation mechanism is in its actuated state.
