Locking System

摘要

A locking system for locking a food container and inhibiting tampering of a cover on the container. The container includes a base and sidewalls. The cover hingedly joins with one end of the sidewalls and pivot between an open and a closed position. The cover comprises a lower surface and an upper surface. The upper surface rests in proximity to the lower surface to indicate tampering, and comprises a compression portion. The lower surface includes apertures and a slot. A seal portion at least partially wraps around the container for locking the cover into the closed position. A base end fastens to the base and sidewalls. A locking end includes a drive mechanism that enables the locking end to move along the slot. The locking end includes protrusions that can be pressed into the apertures with the compression portion for fastening the seal portion to the container.
