Abstract

A storage device for safety check media of baggage case, including a cartridge disposed on the baggage case which is locked by at least a numeral lock and a key-driven lock. The cartridge has an internal receiving space. At least a mark unit is previously disposed in the receiving space for showing a correct unlocking number of the numeral lock of the baggage case. In addition, a key for unlocking the key-driven lock of the baggage case is further placed in the receiving space. A key-driven lock is disposed on the cartridge, which key-driven lock is only unlockable with a safety check general key provided by lock manufacturer. The storage device is especially applicable to a baggage case equipped with at least two types of locks. The storage device enables a safety checker to more quickly and conveniently perform security checking operation without damaging the locks of the baggage case.

Claims

1. A storage device for safety check media of baggage case, comprising a cartridge disposed on the baggage case which is locked by at least a numeral lock and a key-driven lock, the cartridge having at least one internal receiving space, at least a mark unit being previously disposed in the receiving space for showing a correct unlocking number of the numeral lock of the baggage case, a numeral lock and a key-driven lock being disposed between the cartridge and the baggage case for respectively opening/closing the cartridge, the numeral lock cooperating with a control member in controlling opening/closing of the cartridge, the key-driven lock being only unlockable with a safety check general key.

2. The storage device for safety check media of baggage case as claimed in claim 1, wherein a key for unlocking the key-driven lock of the baggage case is further placed in the receiving space.

3. The storage device for safety check media of baggage case as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cartridge is directly fixedly disposed on the body of the baggage case, a movable cartridge cover being assembled with the cartridge, the movable cartridge cover being openable only with a general key.

4. The storage device for safety check media of baggage case as claimed in claim 2, wherein the cartridge is directly fixedly disposed on the body of the baggage case, a movable cartridge cover being assembled with the cartridge, the movable cartridge cover being openable only with a general key.

5. The storage device for safety check media of baggage case as claimed in claim 1, wherein the mark unit previously disposed in the receiving space includes a row of marked numeral wheels showing the correct unlocking number of the numeral lock.
