Abstract (en)

The invention provides a device for locking an article closure member (4) in its article closing position, comprising: a base member (1) securable permanently to the article and having means (11) for aligning the closure member (4) in said article closing position so that it overlaps at least part of said base member; the aligning means (11) defining at least part of an entrance for receiving part of a disposable locking element (27); and a disposable locking element (27), completely separate from said base member (1) and made of synthetic plastics material; the disposable element (27) having a plug part (32) which is resiliently yieldable and slidingly insertable through, but not slidingly retractable from, the entrance of said aligning means. The base member (1) includes means (34) for temporarily holding the disposable element (27) with the plug part adjacent to but outside said entrance, and for guiding sliding insertion of the plug part of the disposable element into said entrance. <IMAGE>
