AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing snap-action latches for container lids are prone to unintentional opening due to inertia and manipulation, and sliding bolts require manual locking during closure, lacking automatic locking functionality.
Method used
A locking mechanism with a bolt and spring-loaded rolling elements that move perpendicular to its longitudinal extent into a guide groove, featuring a geometry that prevents unlocking during shock and allows secure locking by adjusting spring preload.
Benefits of technology
Ensures reliable locking and prevents accidental opening, even under shock conditions, with efficient energy use and easy manual operation.
