Abstract
A secure container formed with an aperture and having a closure member movable to cover or uncover the aperture, and comprising actuating means for engagement by a releasing member in a dispensing, loading or unloading apparatus as the container is inserted into such apparatus, incorporates a lost-motion connection between the actuating means (10) and release mechanism (12, 21, 22, 23) for the closure member (24) and a direct connection between the actuating means and an internally pivoted lever (11), as a consequence of which when the container is inserted in the apparatus the lever (11) is moved to project through the side wall of the container before the closure member starts to open and similarly on withdrawal of the container the closure member is completely closed before the lever returns to its first position inside the container to allow withdrawal of the container form the apparatus to be completed.
