page_text: HAYDN SANDERS Lock Manufacturer 55 Mount St Walsall, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
"
This improvement is specially directed to those kind of locks used on Leather
As a rule double-
Bags and Satchells commonlly known as "Gladstone Bags
action-locks are used on these articles. One action being under the control of the
nozel, or other such agent, and the other action being under the sole control of the
key. The last named action has for its function the prevention of the first named
action being worked by the nozel or other agent, after the key has been used for
that purpose. These locks are fitted with Lever, Bramab, Tumbler, and other
kinds of works. Such then are what I mean when I speak of double-action locks.
The lock now generally used by the trade is the push-down-nozel lock; and it
contains many serious objections and defects. Objections and defects unsurmount-
able under such a system of obtaining security. For instance the liability of the
Bag or Satchell flying open so soon as any article of sufficient weight is put upon
the top of the nozel must always remain. Also that of after having turned the
key to prevent the pushing down of the nozel, must, from the very construction of
the interior, be attended, more or less, with the same danger, attendant very often
with most disastrous results, that of throwing the whole lock out of repair, an
occurrence which frequently happens and which compels the forcing open of the
Bag, and the replacing of the broken lock with another equally open to the same
objections risks and dangers. The inconvenience too of having to remove the key
from the lock every time one wishes to simply open or shut one's bag is a matter
well worthy of attention and consideration.
All these objections defects and dangers are, I claim, removed by the improve-
ments which I have introduced and which will easily be discerned from the
description of it, which I will now give:
Instead of pushing-down, or otherwise I propose, the revolving of the nozel,
constructed on the principles as shewn in the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is the nozel. Fig. 2 is the socket plate. Fig. 3 is the washer, a device
which has two functions to fulfill, that of securing the nozel to the socket plate by
being rivetted on the square provided at the bottom of the nozel; and also that of
acting as a motor of the latching bolt as seen inside the lock at fig. 6. Fig. 4
again shews the nozel washer and latching bolt, and the position which they occupy

by the key, of which it is only neccessary to say that it can be fitted with Lever,
Bramab, Tumbler &c. &c., and has for its function the same as described in the
other lock.) Fig. 7 and 8 shew the washer and link-plate separately.
Refering back to the nozel, fig. 1, one has only to notice the cylindrical form of
the lower part of it and the tube collar provided on the socket plate to at once be

unique adaption assigned to each respective part of the whole. Whilst a final
reference to the lock complete, Fig. 5, cannot, I think, fail to convey to any ordinary
mind the utility and completeness combined with simplicity and strength which
I claim for this improved lock for Leather Bags and Satchells.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same may be performed I declare that what
I claim is
The application of the principle of a revolving nozel to such locks as I have
above described, and nained as for Gladstone and other Leather Bags and
Satchells.
The adding of greater strength and security to such locks by the adoption of
such devices and methods as I have herein described and set forth.
And I humbly pray that Letters Patent may be granted to me for the same.

page_text: HAYDN SANDERS Lock Manufacturer 55 Mount St Walsall do hereby declare
the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENT IN LOCKS FOR LEATHER & OTHER
KINDS OF BAGS and in what manner the same is to be performed; to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This improvement is specially directed to those kinds of locks used on Leather
Bags and Satchells commonly known as Gladstone Bags. As a rule double action-
locks are used on these articles. One action being under the control of the nozel,
or other such agent and the other action being under the sole control of the key.
The last named action has for its function the prevention of the first named
action being worked by the nozel or other agent, after the key has been turned for
purpose. These locks are fitted with Lever Bramah Tumbler and other kinds of
works. Such then are what I mean when I speak of double action locks.
The lock now generally used by the trade is the push-down-nozel-lock; and it
contains many serious objections and defects.
Objections and defects unsurmountable under such a system of obtaining
security.
For instance the liability of the Bag or Satchell flying open so soon as any
article of sufficient weight is put upon the top of the nozel must always remain.
Also that of after having turned the key to prevent the pushing down of the nozel,
must from the very construction of the interior, be attended, more or less with the
same danger, attendant very often with most disastrous results, that of throwing
the whole lock out of repair, an occurrence which frequently happens, and which
compels the forcing open of the Bag and the replacing of the broken lock with
another one equally open to the same objections risks and dangers. The incon-
venience too of having to remove the key from the lock every time one wishes to
open or shut ones bag, is a matter well worthy of attention and consideration.
All these objections defects and dangers are, I claim, removed by the improvements
which I have introduced and which will easily be discerned from the description
of it, which I will now give :— .
Instead of pushing-down, or otherwise, I propose the revolving of the nozel,
constructed on the principles as shewn in the drawings accompanying my Provi-
sional Specification.
Fig. 1 is the nozel. Fig. 2 is the socket-plate. Fig. 3 is the washer, a device
which has two functions to fulfill, that of securing the nozel to the socket-plate by
being rivetted on the square provided at the bottom of the nozel, and also that of
acting as a motor of the latching bolt as seen inside the lock at Fig. 6. Fig. 4
again shews the nozel washer and latching bolt, and the position which they occupy
explains at a glance the important relations they hold one to the other.
Fig. 5 gives a view of the model lock complete (with the exception of the action
worked by the key, of which it is only neccessary to say that it can be fitted with
Lever Bramah, Tumbler &c. &c., and as for its function the same as described in
the other lock).
Fig. 7 and 8 shew the washer and link-plate separately.

page_text: Refering back to the nozel, fig. 1, one as only to notice the cylindrical form of
the lower part of it and the tube collar provided on the socket plate to at once be
able to estimate the amount of strength afforded one to the other, and of the
unique adaption assigned to each respective part of the whole.
Whilst a final reference to the lock complete, Fig. 5, cannot, I think, fail to
convey to any ordinary mind the utility and completeness combined with sim-
plicity and strength which I claim for this improved lock for Leather Bags and
Satchells.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and invention and in what manner the same may be performed I declare
that what I claim is:-
The application of principle of a revolving nozel to such locks as I have above
described and named as for Gladstone and other Leather Bags and Satchells.
The adding of greater strength and security to such locks by the adaption of
such devices and methods as I have herein described and setforth.
And I humbly pray that Letters Patent may be granted to me me for the same.
Dated this 9th day of August 1886.
