Definitions

Organizers and containers consisting of stacked modules that can be connected (fastened) together are commonly used accessories for storing various elements, additionally facilitating access to these elements.
One known type of modular organizers with locking latches are those in which the covers of individual modules connect with the bodies by means of locking latches, which allows to access each of the modules easily without the need to disconnect them.
Such solution has a negative effect on the stability and tightness of the organizer module system.
the second known type of said organizers are those in which the bodies of individual modules are connected to each other, which ensures high stability and tightness of the system, but makes it difficult to use individual modules, because it only allows to open the module located at the top of the system.
the subject of the invention is therefore a locking latch, in particular for modular organizers, comprising an upper part of the locking latch, a lower part of the locking latch and an axle of the locking latch, wherein the upper part of the locking latch and the lower part of the locking latch are mounted separately on the axle of the locking latch in a way enables independent movement of said parts, wherein one part of the locking latch has mounting tabs for securing the locking latch in the organizer cover, while both parts of the locking latch are provided with at least one catch for snapping on the organizer body.
the mounting tabs are provided on the lower part of the locking latch.
the mounting tabs are located off the axle of the locking latch, preferably above said axle.
the mounting tabs point outside the locking latch, along the axle of the locking latch and extend beyond its length.
the axle of the locking latch is made of metal or plastic.
the subject of the invention is also a modular organizer comprising a body and a cover connected to each other by means of a hinge, provided with the locking latch of the invention, mounted in the grooves in the organizer cover by means of mounting tabs.
the locking latch is applicable to modular organizers in such a way that the tabs of the lower part are mounted in the grooves of the cover of the organizer module, while the lower part of the locking latch is used for connecting with the snap (catch) on the body of the container on which the locking latch is mounted, and the upper part is used for snapping on the body of the next container placed on the first container.
the locking latch of the invention has the feature of connecting the modules with each other, protecting the modules against undesirable opening and the easy access feature, called " Quick Access System", enabling access to the contents of individual modules without having to disconnect them.
the locking latch is mounted on the cover of said container by means of mounting tabs (4) of the lower part (1) of the locking latch, located in the assembly position, above the axle (3) of the locking latch.
the second, upper part (2) of said locking latch is connected to the body of the second container, located above the first container which forms the base of the kit, thus enabling the connection of successive stacked modules.
This connection method allows to connect any number of modules of the same or different sizes but equipped with the same assembly and locking system. 2. Easy access feature referred to as " Quick Access System”.
the organizer also has the feature of securing against undesirable movement of the containers, accidental detachment of connected modules, and - due to firm pressing the cover against the body on each side - ensuring high tightness against water and dust.
the lower part (1) of the locking latch can be snapped by means of catches (6) on the catch of the container body to the cover of which said locking latch is attached.
Such a position of the locking latch in which both the upper part (2) and lower part (1) thereof are lowered and snapped, allows for additional protection of the container cover against deformation or coming off from the body, which is useful, for example, when transporting connected modules.
the possibility of the contents pouring off e.g. from chamber to chamber, which are included in the tool box or organizer, , is eliminated.
the cover of the box or organizer is connected to the body by means of rear hinges and usually also by front locking latches/snaps.
the function of the locking latch is to firmly connect each side of the container with other ones and, in addition, to enable its safe connection with other modules.
