ABSTRACT:
A locking mechanism for a refuse container that includes a pivotally mounted bracket system that constitutes a first pendulum, for securing the lid of the refuse container and a catch which can be moved from a potentially engageable position to an unengageable position to control movement of the bracket system. The catch constitutes a second pendulum. During an automated emptying of the refuse container, the pendulums are timed so that the catch opens first, thereby allowing the bracket system to pivot and the lid to open.
