Lockable container

A lockable container comprising:

• a frame comprising a first frame member and a second frame member which are pivotally connected together and adjustable between an open configuration and a closed configuration, the two frame members in the closed configuration defining an access opening therebetween;
• and a closure member adapted to be mounted on the frame in a blocking position over the access opening so as to block substantially all of the access opening and retain the frame members in the closed configuration, the closure member housing an elongate latch member which is axially movable between a latched position and an unlatched position;
• wherein
• the latch member and the closure member are each provided with at least one engagement feature, the said features being interengaged when the latch member is in the latched position, and
• the latch member and the frame are each provided with at least one engagement feature, the said features being interengaged when the latch member is adjusted to the latched position while the closure member is in the blocking position, and disengaged when the latch member is in the unlatched position;
• whereby when the closure member is in the blocking position movement of the latch member from the unlatched position to the latched position prevents movement of the closure member from the blocking position;
• movement of the latch member to the unlatched position causing it to disengage from the frame and permit movement of the closure member to unblock the access opening and permit pivoting of the frame members to the open configuration;
• the closure member being provided with a locking member adjustable between a locked position at which it engages the latch member in the latched position so as to retain the latch member against axial movement, and an unlocked position at which the locking member permits axial movement of the latch member.
