Locks for baggage || Lock puzzle

A lock puzzle is a type of mechanical puzzle. It consists of a lock with unusual or hidden mechanics. Such locks are sometimes called trick locks, because opening them is like performing a magic trick. A matching key may or may not be used in this trick.

Lock puzzles have a long history.

Chinese jewelry boxes often contain trick locks and hidden drawers. An example of such a box is an integral part of the plot of the movie Shanghai Knights. Clive Barker has written a number of horror stories (including The Hellbound Heart, which was made into the movie Hellraiser) centered around Lemarchand’s box which appears to be such a puzzle box but in fact opens the gates to Hell when manipulated.

Other lock puzzles stem from the necessity to invent secure locks in the Middle Ages.

Lock puzzles are closely related to puzzle boxes.

Travel sentry certified luggage lock || Suitcase

Posted on November 16th, 2007 in Uncategorized by admin

A suitcase is a somewhat flat rectangular-shaped bag with rounded corners, either hard plastic or soft or made of cloth, vinyl or leather that more or less keeps its shape. It has a carrying handle on one side and is used mainly for transporting clothes and other possessions during trips. It opens on hinges like a door.
Suitcases lock with keys or a combination. Originally, suitcases were made of wool or linen.

Most modern suitcases have built-in small wheels enabling them to be pulled along on hard flat surfaces by a fixed or extendable handle or by a retractable or stowable leash. Suitcases are a type of luggage.

A smaller, firmer suitcase, used mainly for transporting papers and office supplies is known as a briefcase.

Airlines attach tags to luggage which is transported as checked luggage. (Such checked luggage is occasionally lost or delayed, a significant worry for travellers.) Due to current security concerns, checked luggage may be inspected and the security staff may confiscate belongings that are prohibited on-board aircraft.

Parts

Some suitcases include a telescopic handle and wheels.
