Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0520657A1] A waste disposal container has an end door 12 controlled by a latching apparatus 14. The latter has hooks 16 on the container body 10 for co-acting with hasps 20 on the door 12. The hooks 16 are mounted on a rotatable bar 18, the latter also mounting a pair of spaced cam members 24. On the bar 18 between the cam members 24 there is freely mounted a tube 26 which provides a manual operating lever 28. An abutment pin 34 is locatable in selective positions on the cam members 24 whereby to be engaged by respective movements of the lever 28. On opening of the door 12, any whiplash effect on the hooks 16, caused by the pressure of the load inside the container, is transmitted into rotation of the bar 18 on the cam members 24 but has no effect on the lever 28, thereby avoiding health and safety problems normally associated with lever locking arrangements. <IMAGE>
