A grip (29) forms a supporting shoulder (40) which in a securing position, blocking the displacement of the locking slide (19), is located in front of a blocking shoulder (41) of the housing (11) and, by the grip (29) being pivoted transversely to displacement direction of the locking slide (19), is displaced into a release position.
FIELD AND BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to a case lock having a locking slide which is arranged in the lock housing and is intended for securing and, by grip-actuated displacement counter to spring force, for releasing a mating closure part.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the invention is to configure a case lock of the generic type such that, even with impact loading, the locking slide does not leave its locked position in relation to the mating closure part.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS An exemplary embodiment of the invention is explained hereinbelow with reference to the figures of the drawing, in which
FIG. 3 shows the section along the line III�III, to be precise with the locking slide blocked by the safety catch of the case lock,
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT A case is designated overall by 1. Said case has a bottom part 2 and a lid part 3, which are connected to one another in an articulated manner via hinges (not illustrated). A case lock 4 is located on that narrow side of the case which is located opposite the hinges. Said case lock can be secured on the bottom part 2 by means of screws 5, see FIG. 2. Opposite said case lock, the lid part 3 bears a mating closure part 6. In order to fasten the latter, use is made of screws 7 which engage through the mating closure part 6, arranged on the inside of the case, and pass into a covering plate 8 assigned to the lid part 3. The mating closure part 6 forms a projecting hook protrusion 9 which interacts with the case lock 4. Furthermore, a supporting protrusion 10 extends from that narrow surface of the mating closure part 6 which exhibits the hook protrusion 9.
