Locking device and container using the same

A locking device being provided adjacent to a side opening of a container main body, comprising:

• a handle being pivotally mounted to a top of the container main body and turnable between a horizontal position and a vertical position relative to the top;
• and the handle including a driving section;
• a locking member being in the form of a long bar and having two opposite ends pivotally connected to the top and a bottom of the container main body, such that the locking member is turnable toward or away from the side opening;
• and the locking member including an upper section located adjacent to the driving section;
• a return spring being mounted to the handle;
• and
• a movement limiting member located within a movement range of the upper section and having a height higher than a lowest position of the upper section,
• wherein when the handle is pivotally turned from the horizontal position to the vertical position, the driving section is turned at the same time to drive the upper section for the locking member to pivotally turn toward the side opening, and
• wherein the height of the movement limiting member is lower than the lowest position of the upper section to allow the locking member to pivotally turn toward the side opening when the handle is pivotally turned from the horizontal position to the vertical position.
