Abstract
A locking case is provided including a base portion and a lid portion rotatably engaged to the base portion. A locking mechanism is mounted on the lid portion and extends therethrough. The locking mechanism includes a cam member having first and second surfaces, and being rotatable to a locked position in response to operation of the locking mechanism. A catch is mounted to the base portion and is disposed proximate the cam first surface when the cam is in the locked position. A reinforcing bracket is mounted to the lid. The reinforcing bracket has a reinforcing flange disposed proximate the cam second surface when the cam is disposed in the locked position.
Claims19
A locking case comprising:
- a. a base portion;
- b. a lid portion rotatably engaged to the base portion;
- c. a locking mechanism mounted on the lid portion and extending therethrough, the locking mechanism including a cam member having opposing first and second surfaces and rotatable to a locked position in response to operation of the locking mechanism;
- d. a catch mounted to the base portion, the catch being disposed proximate the cam first surface when the cam is disposed in the locked position;
- e. a reinforcing bracket mounted to the lid, the reinforcing bracket having a reinforcing flange disposed proximate the cam second surface when the cam is disposed in the locked position;
- and
- f. at least one catch spacer engagable to the catch between the catch and cam member first surface to variably mitigate spacing between the catch and the cam first surface.
