Abstract (en)

[origin: US2003164375A1] The invention relates to a self-locking and -releasing connector group, for the connection of two components, at least one of which comprises a hole for the partial introduction of the connector group and which is preferably a corner fitting on a sea freight container. Said group comprises a housing (2), at least one locking component (170), which can be displaced back and forth between a released position and a closed position, a stop component, displaceably mounted on the housing, whereby the housing may be fixed to one of the components and the locking component, in the released position thereof, may be inserted in the hole of the other component, during the relative manoeuvring of the components to be fixed together. Said stop component is moved, relative to the housing, by the other component during further relative manoeuvring of the components, which moves the locking component from the released position into the locked position, in which it engages with the undercut in the longitudinal hole, thus locking the two components together. The group further comprises a locking device (182), which prevents a displacement of the locking component (170), from the locked position into the released position, on a separation of the two components which are locked together, when the above are accelerated above a certain level and/or displaced from the rest position.
