A magnetic buckle device has a first base, a second base, a first component mounted to the first base, a second component mounted to the second base, and a lock mechanism. A magnetic attraction force is generated between the first component and the second component to move the first base and the second base toward each other. The lock mechanism is connected to the second base and has a locked status and an unlocked status. The lock mechanism has an engaging component and an unlocking component. In the locked status, the first base and the engaging component engage with each other such that the first base and the engaging component are inseparable. In the unlocked status, the unlocking component is capable of being operated to allow the first base and the engaging component to disengage from each other.

A zipper lock has a combination locking system defined by dials and clutches and a key overriding mechanism. The lock has a pole to receive zipper pullers and a movable cover plate to block the pole when the lock is in the locked mode. The lock has a control plate with release slots. The control plate can be shifted only if the dials are set to the correct combination or when a correct key is used to turn a tumbler cylinder. The cover plate is engaged with a latch having a latch finger. When the lock is in the locked mode, the latch finger is blocked by the control plate, restricting movement of the latch. When the lock is in the unlocked mode, the latch finger can be moved into a release slot, allowing the latch and cover plate to move in order to clear the pole.

A carrying case or container having an box structure having a top opening and a lid configured to cover the top opening; and a locking mechanism having a first dial; wherein the locking mechanism is used to lock the lid to the open box structure so that the lid covers the opening of the box structure; wherein the box structure includes a first wall, a second wall, a third wall, a fourth wall, and a bottom member; wherein the first wall is parallel to the third wall, the second wall is parallel to the fourth wall, and the first wall is perpendicular to the second wall; and wherein the first dial is rotatably mounted to the first wall, so that the first dial rotates in a plane which is parallel to the first wall.

A combination lock can be operated manually via the manipulation of dials and by way of an electronic key. The lock includes one or more rotatable selectors each having multiple indicia disposed thereon. Rotation of the rotatable selectors to predetermined indicia places the lock in the unlocked position. The lock can further include an electronic port and an actuator. Upon receipt of a predetermined credential via the port, the actuator can place the lock in in the unlocked position. The lock further includes a knob that, when the lock is in the unlocked position, can be rotated between a first position in which the lock is in a closed position and a second position in which the lock is in an open position. The combination lock may automatically scramble the positions of the dials upon opening for security purposes.
