Abstract
Abstract A draw bolt for luggage, containers, receptacles or the like, cooperable with a hasp includes a loop member having one end slidably connected to guide rails on a mounting plate so that a manually operable latch member imparts both translational and rotational movement to the loop member, thereby causing the loop member to completely engage or disengage a hasp.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
147 words
A draw bolt cooperable with a hasp, the draw bolt comprising: a mounting plate having rail means with a substantially planar first portion and a second portion sloping from the first portion toward the hasp side of the mounting plate; a manually operable latch member; means pivotally connecting one end of the latch member to the mounting plate; a loop member adapted to embrace a hasp; and means slidably connecting the loop member to the rail means, the latch member being cooperable with the loop member and being movable to a lowered position wherein the loop member is cooperable with the first portion of the rail means to move the loop member to latched position, and the latch member being movable to a raised position wherein the loop member is cooperable with the second portion of the rail means to move the loop member to unlatched position.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
147 words
A draw bolt cooperable with a hasp, the draw bolt comprising: a mounting plate having rail means with a substantially planar first portion and a second portion sloping from the first portion toward the hasp side of the mounting plate; a manually operable latch member; means pivotally connecting one end of the latch member to the mounting plate; a loop member adapted to embrace a hasp; and means slidably connecting the loop member to the rail means, the latch member being cooperable with the loop member and being movable to a lowered position wherein the loop member is cooperable with the first portion of the rail means to move the loop member to latched position, and the latch member being movable to a raised position wherein the loop member is cooperable with the second portion of the rail means to move the loop member to unlatched position.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
46 words
A draw bolt as set forth in claim 1, wherein the means slidably connecting the loop member to the rail means is washer means connected to stud means on the loop member, the rail means being slidably held between the washer means and the loop member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
48 words
A draw bolt as set forth in claim 1, wherein the rail means comprises a pair of spaced rails, each rail having a first portion which is substantially planar and a second portion which slopes upwardly from the first portion toward the hasp side of the mounting plate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
48 words
A draw bolt as set forth in claim 3, wherein the means slidably connecting the loop member to the pair of rails is washer means connected to stud means on the loop member, the pair of rails being slidably held between the washer means and the loop member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
110 words
A draw bolt as set forth in claim 1, wherein the loop member is a closed loop having a cross-member connecting two opposite sides thereof and dividing the loop member into two loop sections, the latch member extending through one of the loop sections and being cooperable with the one loop section for causing the loop member to be cooperable with the first portion of the rail means when the latch member is in the lowered position, and the latch member being cooperable with the cross-member for causing loop member to be cooperable with the second portion of the rail means when the latch member is in the raised position.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
40 words
A draw bolt as set forth in claim 5 further including a spring member connected to the latch member and cooperable with the mounting plate for releasably maintaining the latch member in either one of the raised and lowered positions.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
50 words
A draw bolt as set forth in claim 5, wherein the means pivotally connecting one end of the latch member to the mounting plate comprises a pivot pin portion provided by the latch member and an open bearing recess provided by the mounting plate having the pivot pin positioned therein.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
37 words
A draw bolt as set forth in claim 5, including a key barrel and locking bolt supported by the latch member and cooperable with the mounting plate for releasably locking the latch member to the mounting plate.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
44 words
A draw bolt as set forth in claim 5, wherein tHe rail means comprises a pair of spaced rails, each having a substantially planar first portion and a second portion sloping upwardly from the first portion toward the hasp side of the mounting plate.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
54 words
A draw bolt as set forth in claim 9, wherein the means provided by the loop member for slidably connecting the loop member to the pair of rails is washer means connected to stud means on the loop member, the pair of rails being slidably held between the washer means and the loop member.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
61 words
A draw bolt as set forth in claim 8, including a key barrel and locking bolt supported by the latch member and cooperable with the mounting plate for releasably locking the latch member to the mounting plate, the washer means being cooperable with the locking bolt for limiting rotation of the locking bolt in a first direction to a locked position.
