Abstract (en)

A security cover (10) for an engagement lock for a container which has a first member (12) which comprises a rod-shaped elongated body (12) which defines a first (14) and a second end (16), and defines a longitudinal direction of the rod-shaped elongated body (12). The first end (14) constitutes an insertion end which defines a first transversal dimension, and the second end (16) comprises a head which defines a second transversal dimension which is larger than the first transversal dimension of the insertion end. The security cover further has a second member (18) which defines a first surface, an opposite second surface and an outer, third transversal dimension which is larger than the first transversal dimension. The first surface has a cavity, and the engagement lock defines a locked state in which the insertion end is allowed to snap-fit interlock with the cavity, when in the locked state the engagement lock defines a first longitudinal distance from the head to the first surface and a second longitudinal distance from the head to the second surface. The security cover (10) comprises a front plate (12) and further a first plate which extends rearwards in relation to the front plate (12) and defines a first hole (28) which is larger than the first transversal dimension and smaller than the second transversal dimension; the head part and the first hole (28) is countersunk to accommodate at least a part of the head within the first hole. The security cover (10) further comprises a second plate (14) which extends rearwards in relation to the front plate and defines a second hole which is larger than the first transversal dimension and smaller than the third transversal dimension to accommodate the elongated body at said insertion end; the distance between the first and second plates is substantially equal to the first distance. The security cover further comprises a third plate (18) which extends rearwards in relation to the front plate (12) and defines a third hole (30) which is larger than the third transversal dimension to accommodate the second member at the second surface; the distance between the first and third plates is substantially equal to the second distance.
