Detailed description of the drawings
The invention will now be explained with reference to the following non- limiting drawings, wherein;
Figure 1 is a drawing of a side view of the locking device; Figure 2 shows a representation of a plan view of the locking device; Figure 3 is a drawing of end view of the first member of the locking device; and
Figure 4 is a drawing of an end view of the second member, attachment and securing means of the locking device.
In the drawings, reference numeral 10 generally refers to a locking device in accordance with the invention.
A locking device 10 for a container, said locking device 10 including a first member 12 being releasably receivable by at least a part of an opening mechanism (not shown) of a container (not shown), wherein the opening mechanism of the container includes sliding doors and a sliding mechanism, the sliding mechanism including a rail and a groove (not shown) shaped and configured to receive at least a part of a sliding door of the container when the sliding door is displaced horizontally from its closed position to its open sliding position. A second member 14 releasably attachable to the first member 12 and shaped and dimensioned to releasably engage at least a part of the container and/or the opening mechanism of the container, thereby facilitating the attachment of the locking device to the container; an attachment means 16 for releasably attaching the first member 12 to a second member 14; securing means 18 for securing the first member 12 relative the second member 14; and wherein the first member 12 and the second member 14, when engaging the sliding mechanism of the container and/or the container, assist in inhibiting the horizontal displacement of the door of the container from its closed position to an open sliding position, thereby assisting in minimizing the unauthorised entry of the container.
The first member 12 may include a base member 20 and a support member 22 that are angled at 90° 24 relative each other. The base member 20 is shaped and dimensioned to be received by the groove of the sliding mechanism of the opening mechanism of the container.
The support member 22 is shaped and dimensioned to be received by either a part of the sliding mechanism of the opening mechanism of the container or by at least a part of the sliding doors of the container.

The first member 12 includes supporting 26 and/or strengthening 28 elements that are configured to assist in deterring access to the locking device 10 when in use.
When in use, the first member 12 has the function of a stopper and therefore assists in deterring the horizontal displacement of the container doors from a closed position to an opening sliding position.
The second member 14 is in the form and shape of a U-bracket and is shaped and dimensioned to engage an aspect of the sliding mechanism (not shown).
It is to be appreciated from this specification that in an embodiment of the invention, the second member 14 is shaped and dimensioned to engage and/or abut an undersurface of the sliding mechanism and an aspect of the first member 12.
The second member 14 defines an aperture 30 for receiving at least a part of the attachment means 16 there through.
The second member 14 includes supporting 32 and/or strengthening 34 elements that are configured to assist in deterring access to the locking device 10 when in use.
The attachment means 16 is in the form of a shank 36, is attached to the first member 12 and is a generally cylindrical elongate that includes a tapered end 38.
The shank 36 includes a thread 40 includes a first threaded section 42 and a second counter-threaded section 44. The first threaded section 42 has a larger diameter relative the second counter-threaded section 44.
The securing means 46 is in the form of a plurality of nuts 48 that are shaped and dimensioned to receive the shank 36. A first nut 50 has a larger bore diameter relative the second nut bore diameter. The first nut 50 and the second nut 52 include a counter-thread.
The first nut 50 is shaped and dimensioned to engage with the first threaded section 42 of the shank 36 and the second nut 52 is shaped and dimensioned to engage with the second threaded section 44 of the shank 36.
Typically, the first nut 50 is advanced along the threaded portion 42 of the shank 36 to an engaged position adjacent the second member 14 of the locking device 10.
Advancement of the second nut 52 along the shank 36 towards the engaged position of the first nut 50 discourages removal of the first nut 50 away from the engaged position adjacent the second member 14 of the locking device 10.
The first nut 50 defines further apertures 54 for receiving a retaining pin (not shown). At least one of the further apertures 54 is threaded.
The second nut 52 also defines further apertures 56 for receiving a retaining pin. At least one of the further apertures 56 may be threaded.
It is to be appreciated from this specification that the retaining pin may be any one or more from the group of a screw, bolt, dowel pins, castellated nut and cotter pin arrangement and the like.
In an embodiment not shown in the drawings, the second nut 52 defines aperture for receiving further retaining means that is typically in the form of a security seal (not shown).
