Material shipping container with door locking mechanism
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12006135B2) discloses a material shipping container with a unique material loading assembly. The container body includes a top enclosing a material containing space, with a door centrally located at the top that can be moved between open and closed positions. An operating mechanism, comprising an extension member and latch mechanism, allows for locking and unlocking the door. The engagement pin on the extension member interacts with the latch mechanism to secure the door in the closed position, providing a user-friendly solution for opening and closing the container.
Furthermore, the material loading assembly includes a hinge connecting the door to the container body, along with a latch mechanism featuring an attachment bracket, lower capture member, upper capture member, and locking pin. These components work together to ensure the door remains securely closed during shipping. The design of the latch mechanism allows for easy engagement and disengagement by a user standing adjacent to the container, enhancing the overall functionality and convenience of the material shipping container.
