Locking system applicable in large container

Abstract

A locking system applicable in a large container comprises a first component, a second component, and a latch (). The latch () is movably received within the first component, and correspondingly the second component is provided with a groove () to receive a section of the latch () extending from the receiving section of the first component. The locking system also comprises a handle (). The handle () is arranged on the first component via pivot shafts () and is allowed to turn towards an outer side of the first component. The handle () is provided at a section thereof away from the pivot shaft () with male pins (). The latch () is provided with concave profiles in correspondence to the male pin (). The male pin () and the concave profile () are engaged to form a sliding pair. Furthermore, the handle () and the latch () constitute a lever system. The lever system uses the pivot shaft () as a fulcrum, the handle () as a driving member, and the latch () as a driven member, where the distance between a force-exerting section of the handle () and the fulcrum is greater than the distance from the sliding pair to the fulcrum. The locking system has the advantages of effortless operation, easy installation, and, when in use, improved conformation of movements to gesture habits of people.
