ABSTRACT:
A coupling piece for releasably connecting adjacent containers includes a housing, a rotatable locking bolt positioned within the housing, a rotatable actuating lever mounted in the housing and a spring device connected to the locking bolt for normally urging the locking bolt in a locking direction. The locking bolt has a crossbar located at each end thereof that is insertable into an opening in the adjacent containers. A portion of the actuating lever engages the locking bolt so that upon rotation of the actuating lever in a first direction, the locking bolt is rotated in a releasing direction which is opposite to the locking direction.
