摘要

A locking system comprising a fixed portion (1) secured to a box with a slot for inserting an article to be protected, and a movable portion (2) with a latching member (17) for partially sealing the insertion slot in the locked position. The system further comprises means for preventing the movable portion (2) from being moved unless a specific tool is used. The fixed portion (1) has a rear guide (3) extending in a substantially longitudinal direction, and a front projection (5) with an opening (6) consisting of a substantially longitudinal rear section (8) and an angled section (9) extending therefrom up to the upper edge (7) of said front projection (5). The movable portion (2) consists of a hollow member with a transverse wall adjacent to the rear end surface thereof provided with a slot (21) having a cross-section matching that of the guide (3) on the fixed portion (1), at least one transverse projecting pin (19) being arranged on the intermediate portion of said hollow member for engaging the opening in the fixed portion (1) in order to guide the movable portion (2) as it is moved longitudinally at first and then obliquely.
