Abstract
A latching mechanism for attaching a spreader to corner castings of a container includes an elongated shank having locking lugs at one end thereof with a locator member surrounding the shank and mounting means for mounting the shank and locator member on the spreader frame. The mounting means is designed to accommodate universal movement of the shank about a fixed point on the frame and also accommodate axial movement of the shank with respect to the fixed point so that the spreader is capable of being utilized with different types of standard castings having apertures with different transverse spacings.
