ABSTRACT:
A cover arrangement for a container, for example for a ship's hatchway, has a cover element which is hinged at one side. The hinging includes a lost motion connection, which allows automatic engagement and disengagement of mutually engageable member at that side for cleating. This is achieved by movement of the cover element in its closed position within the scope of the lost motion connection. The cover element may include other automatic cleating member on other sides; the cleating is preferably effected by final closing movement of the cover element under gravity.
