<p>A device for attaching a lifting, manoeuvring or securing mechanism to a container or the like provided with an aperture (4) through a wall thereof comprises a housing (6) to be secured to the lifting mechanism, and attachment means (12) mounted in the housing (6). The attachment means (12) includes an elongate body portion (14) projecting from the housing (6) and movable axially relative thereto, and at least one locking portion (20) pivotally mounted to the outer end of the body portion (14) and movable between a rest position substantially in line with the body portion (14) and an operative position projecting radially beyond the body portion (14). With the locking portion (20) in its rest position, the body portion (14) is moved relative to the housing (6) to locate the locking portion (20) within the container, and the locking portion (20) is then pivoted to its operative position which is such as to prevent retraction of the body portion (14) and locking portion (20) from within the container.</p> |
