One upper locking head (7) is retained to swivel in one locking hole (3) of one of the containers. The other lower locking head (8) may be in a swivelled position (8a). An axis (X-X) running through both locking heads is inclined in relation to an axis (Y-Y) running perpendicularly through the locking hole (4) of the other container (2). The lower locking head can be fitted in, or withdrawn from, the locking hole of the second container.
