DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0036]The main parts (components) of the improvements in the locking system improved with this invention in addition to the components explained with the patent applications numbered TR 2005/02815 and PCT/TR2006/000031 are; [0037]Exterior surface of the finger press protrusion (18), [0038]Connection part of the finger press protrusion (19), [0039]Side connections of the finger press protrusion (20)
[0040]Centering recess (hole--hollow) (14) may be either quadratic or rectangular parallelepiped and also cylindrical or hemispherical. Centering recess (hole--hollow) (14) may be either on the short side (3) or on the long side (2) as well.
[0041]Centering protrusion (15) may be either with the shape of quadratic or rectangular parallelepiped so as to penetrate into the centering recess (hole--hollow) (14) or also cylindrical or hemispherical. Centering protrusion (15) may either be on the long side (2) or on the short side (3) as well.
[0042]Centering protrusion (15) may either be at the both sides of the male part (4) or at the both sides of the female part (5). One of the centering protrusions (15) may be on one side of the male part (4) and the other on the other side of the female part (5). At the opponent part of the centering protrusions (15) is the centering recess (hole--hollow) (14).
[0043]The main function of the centering recess (hole--hollow) (14) and its protrusions (15) is to ensure that the male (4) and the female (5) parts of the lock are exactly in line. By this way locking and opening of the lock occurs easily.
[0044]Another function of the centering recess (hole--hollow) (14) and its protrusions (15) is to prevent constraining of the lock through compensating the load after locking, during transport or storage as the sides are loaded.
[0045]The male part (4) of the improvements in the locking system improved with this invention comprises, [0046]The base (6), [0047]Side (7), [0048]Hollow (recess) (10), [0049]Joining point of the side and base (11), [0050]Point of pressing for unlocking (12), and [0051]Exterior surface of the finger press protrusion (18), [0052]Connection part of the finger press protrusion (19), [0053]Side connections of the finger press protrusion (20)
[0054]The base (6) and the side (7) of the male part (4) are joined at the joining point of the side and base (11). This joining at the joining point (11) may either be vertical or curved to outside or inside so as to gain the strength.
[0055]At two sides (7) of the male part (4) there is hollow (recess) (10). Hollow (10) provides locking after the penetration of the protrusion (9) of the female part (5).
[0056]At the front of male part (4) (where it fronts on the female part) there are point of pressing for unlocking (12) and accordingly the exterior surface of the finger press protrusion (18), the connection part of the finger press protrusion (19), the side connections of the finger press protrusion (20).
[0057]As the exterior surface of the finger press protrusion (18) is pressed with finger (12), the force is transmitted to the connection part of the finger press protrusion (19) and the side connections of the finger press protrusion (20); and the sides (7) of the male part (4) moves inwards stretching and moves the hollow (recess) (10) inwards. The protrusion (9) of the female part (5) emerges from the hollow (10) and the lock is opened by this way.
[0058]The female part of the locking system (5) for the foldable crates improved with this invention comprises; [0059]Side of the female part (8) and [0060]Protrusion of the female part (9)
[0061]Penetrating into the hollow (10) at the side (7) of the male part (4), the protrusion (9) at the side (8) of the female part (5) provides locking.
[0062]For the improvements for the locking system for foldable crates improved with this invention; the female part (5) centering recess (hole--hollow) (14), centering protrusion (15) and their components are as described at the patent applications numbered TR 2005/02815 and PCT/TR2006/000031.
[0063]A very easy way to open the locking system is achieved with the improvements in the locking system for foldable crates improved with this invention.
