Abstract

See full text

A biased sliding lock for use with containers provides a locking mechanism to lock the lid relative to a pail. The bias can be overcome to place the container in an unlocked configuration allowing the lid to be rotated relative to the pail. The locking mechanism preferably includes a slide with a leg which may cooperate with a leg of the pail to prevent rotation of the lid relative to the pail in the locked configuration. The legs may have angled surfaces to facilitate closing directly into the locked configuration for at least some embodiments.
