Abstract
This invention pertains to a mechanism for securing a container. The container includes at least one wall, which is comprised of at least a first door. The mechanism includes a first rod, which is attached with the outer surface of the first door. The first rod is capable of being rotated from an openable position, when the first door is capable of being opened, to a closed position, when the first door is engaged with the container to be closed. The mechanism further includes a channel member, which is attached with the inner surface of the first door, and a sliding member, which is slidably received within the channel member. The sliding member is engageable with the first rod. As the first rod is rotated from the openable position to the closed position, engagement of the first rod with the sliding member causes the sliding member to slide to secure the first door. In one embodiment, a second door is provided, which is secured by inserting a pin attached with a bottom portion of the inner surface of the second door into a pin engaging hole defined in the floor of the container. In one embodiment, after the doors are secured, and a lock is inserted into padlock tabs of a locking device, the doors are prevented from being opened unless the lock is removed.
