Description
- This invention is related with the locking system which provides foldable crates' edges are locked to eachother.
- This subject matter of invention, locks manufactured in respect of the prior art in order to fix edges on foldable crates, provides locking usually with solid penetration method, opens with a hard hit on the edge. During carrying or placing, in case of a hit of crate to somewhere, lock may open and material in the crate is spilled. In these kinds of locking systems, solid penetration providing parts cannot perform locking function due to wearing off in the course of time. Consequently, crate cannot be used for desired purpose.
