Tube-post slug - has cover locking member protruding radially in open position

摘要

The tube-post slug has an oblong body with a head at each end, one at least of these (13) having a lockable cover (13) over the access to the interior, and held shut by a locking member (96). This member is movable into the opening position (96') for the cover, and in which it protrudes for a distance (A) in the radial direction beyond the external contour (36) of the slug (10). It can turn on an axis (97) eccentric to its handle (95), which protrudes to the outside in the open position. This axis can be parallel to the lengthwise axis of the slug. The handle can form a segment of a circle. ADVANTAGE - The cover cannot open of its own accord, nor can a slug be despatched if not properly locked shut.
