Claim Text:
1. A combination operated lock having a housing connectable to a flexible fabric security bag having a zippered closure that permits valuables to be inserted into and removed from the bag only when the zippered closure is open, and that retains inserted valuables within the bag when the zippered closure is closed, wherein the lock has a lock bolt movable relative to the housing along a path of travel between an unlocked first position extending away from the housing where the housing and the lock bolt can receive a portion of the closed zippered closure therebetween, and a locked second position near the housing where the housing and the lock bolt cooperate to grip and retain the received portion of the closed zippered closure therebetween to prevent the zippered closure from opening until a plurality of dials carried by the housing are turned to set a combination that unlocks the lock to permit movement of the lock bolt along the path of travel toward the unlocked position so the portion of the zippered closure can move from between the housing and the lock bolt to enable the zippered closure to open, and wherein the lock bolt is movable relative to the housing between the unlocked first position and a third position to enable the plurality of dials to be turned to modify the combination that unlocks the lock.
