ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a fastener for locking the closures of containers, particularly ammunition containers. A container and a closure each have ring means which form coaxially aligned bores when the container is fully closed. The fastener comprises an upper and lower body, each of which is provided with a projection means. The projection means attached to the lower body is dimensioned to be pushed through the bore formed by the aligned rings in a first direction, but is prevented from being removed from the bore in a second opposite direction. When it is required to open the container, the fastener is pulled with a force in excess of 5 lbs. and the projection means attached to the lower body is torn from the fastener. The lower body of the fastener is moulded in a collapsed form for subsequent assembly. The fastener can be quickly and conveniently applied and removed from containers without the use of tools.
