ABSTRACT:
A safety clasp for locking a cover to a container includes a rocker and an axle pivotally connecting the rocker to the cover. A slider is positioned between the axle and the cover and is slidable along the cover in a direction generally perpendicular to the axle between a locked position wherein a portion of the slider interfits with the container and an unlocked position wherein the slider portion is disengaged from the container. The slider has a projection extending away from the cover and the rocker is moveable about the axle between a first position wherein a portion of the rocker engages behind the projection when the slider is in its locked position thereby preventing the slider from moving to its unlocked position. The rocker is also moveable to a second position wherein the rocker portion clears the projection thereby allowing the slider to be moved from its locked position to its unlocked position. A spring is located between the rocker and the slider for biasing the rocker to its first position.
