Door block for container

A door block for a door hinged on a casing around an opening in a wall which comprises a rotatable closing rod, a handle on the closing rod, a cam fitted on the closing rod for engaging a stop on the casing of the door when the door is closed and when the closing rod is rotated into the locking position, the door block comprising:

• a covering that covers the closing rod and the handle on the closing rod in the area where the closing rod is joined to the handle, and that is substantially “U”-shaped with an outward face and with first and second flaps forming the “U” extending in a direction toward the door, therein the covering is positioned substantially perpendicular to the closing rod when mounted;
• cuts in the first and second flaps that define an opening in the flaps that is sized and positioned so that when mounted the closing rod is inserted into each opening;
• a block extending from the covering and from the first and second flaps toward the door when mounted wherein the stop extends a distance so that the door handle in its closed position is disposed between the stop and the door;
• a catch-hook with an arcuate edge, said arcuate edge being female and being sized and positioned to engage the closing rod positioned in the cuts so that at least a portion of the arcuate edge is between the closing rod and the door, and with a body extending outward from the arcuate edge, wherein the body is pivotally mounted through a bearing to the covering and has a projection for in the locked position abutting against a locking device;
• and
• the locking device sized and positioned when in a locked position to abut the body of the catch-hook to prevent rotation of the arcuate edge of the catch-hook away from the closing rod, thereby preventing the closing bar from exiting the cuts, and when in an unlocked position allowing the catch-hook to rotate such that the arcuate edge is substantially removed from the closing rod to allow the rod to be removed from the cuts.

A door block for a door which is hinged on a casing around an opening in a wall, whereby the door comprises a rotatable closing rod, a handle on the closing rod, and a cam fitted on the closing rod for engaging with a keeper on the casing when the door is closed and the closing rod rotated into locking position by means of the handle, the door block comprising:

• a blocking device arranged to in the blocking position extend across the closing rod with parts which, at least on the side of the closing rod that is facing in the opposite direction of the handle, are near the outer side of the door;
• and
• a locking device mounted on the blocking device and arranged to, in the blocking position of the door block, lock the blocking device on the closing rod, wherein the blocking device comprises a, seen in cross section, mainly U-shaped covering in form of a body having projecting flaps extending to the proximity of the outer side of the door in the locking position of the door block and together with the body during this encompassing the part of the handle that adjoins the closing rod, wherein the flaps of the covering are made flushing cuts for in the blocking position receiving the closing rod, and wherein the locking device comprises a catch hook pivotally mounted in the covering and having a projection for in the blocking position locking the closing rod in the cuts;
• and
• a lock for locking the catch hook in said locking position.
