Claim:
A lockable case comprising: a base casing having two opposite first lateral walls; a top cover openably connected to said base casing, and having two opposite second lateral walls to overlap said first lateral walls; a slide block mounted on said top cover and slidable along a first direction; two slide bars disposed respectively on two opposite sides of said slide block and slidable along a second direction that is perpendicular to said first direction, said slide bars each having an inner end and an outer end, and a locking element to engage one of said first lateral walls, said slide bars being movable toward each other to disengage said locking element from said one of said first lateral walls, said slide block being disposed between said inner ends of said slide bars, and being movable between a locking position that prevents inward movement of said slide bars and an unlocking position that permits inward movement of said slide bars; an actuating lever having a first end connected pivotally to said slide block to move said slide block to said locking position; an elastic member for biasing said slide block toward said unlocking position; and an operating lock to operate said actuating lever.
