LOCKING DEVICE FOR WASTE CONTAINER

摘要

A locking device for a container having a hinged lid, comprises a base unit adapted to be fixed to the container and a pivotable unit mounted to the base unit and pivotally movable between open and closed positions. The base unit includes a locking mechanism comprising a casing, a rotatable shaft, a blocking member fixed to the shaft and disposed in the casing, and a rolling member. The pivotable unit is mounted to the shaft of the base unit. The rolling member is provided to move within the casing between a blocking position wherein the rolling member blocks movement of the pivotable unit relative to the casing to prevent unauthorized opening of the lid, and a release position wherein the rolling member moves away from the blocking member to permit the movement of the blocking member relative to the casing thereby permitting opening of the lid.

1. A locking device for a container having a hinged lid, said locking device comprising:
a base unit adapted to be fixed to said container; and a pivotable unit mounted to said base unit and pivotally movable between an open position allowing opening of said hinged lid and a closed position preventing the opening of said hinged lid; said base unit including a locking mechanism, said locking mechanism comprising a casing, a rotatable shaft extending through said casing, a blocking member non-movably secured to said rotatable shaft and disposed in said casing, and a rolling member movably disposed within said casing; said pivotable unit mounted to said rotatable shaft of said base unit; said rolling member provided to move within said casing between a blocking position wherein said rolling member blocks rotational movement of said pivotable unit relative to said casing to prevent unauthorized opening of said hinged lid, and a release position wherein said rolling member moves away from said blocking member to permit the rotational movement of said blocking member relative to said casing thereby permitting the relative movement between said pivotable unit and said base unit to allow opening of said hinged lid.
