A container for protection of objects contained therein comprises a bottom part, a convering part movable against the bottom part to open the container, and a locking pin for locking the container, wherein the locking pin is inserted in a first receiving hole in the covering part and a second receiving hole in the bottom part aligned with the first receiving hole, the locking pin being held by a detent on the locking pin in these receiving holes when mounted in the container. On the free end of the locking pin inserted in the container the locking pin has a catch member preventing the complete withdrawal of the locking pin from the container, and the detent thereon is connected with the catch member by a separating bridge segment, whose length is so chosen that in the partially withdrawn position of the locking pin limited by the catch member, the bridge segment protrudes at least partially from the container so as to be separable therefrom.

A locking device for locking two parts of a container together, said parts of said container having aligned openings through which said device can be inserted to retain said parts in a closed position relative to one another, said device comprising: a handle adapted to be gripped by a user desiring to open and close said container, said handle being wider than said openings so that said handle remains external of said container when said device is inserted in said openings; a shank connected to said handle and of a length generally equal to a thickness of said container traversed by said device in a locking position of said device in said openings; a detent connected to said shank and having at least one stop surface extending transverse to said shank and engageable with an inner wall of said container for retaining said device against withdrawal from said openings, and surfaces converging away from said handle to facilitate insertion of said detent through said openings, thereby enabling said stop surface to engage said wall; and an elongated blade-shaped tongue extending away from said detent in line with said shank and formed with an outwardly projecting yieldable barb converging toward said tongue away from said handle and having a deflectable end turned toward said handle but spaced from said detent by a bridge piece of said tongue whose length is greater than said thickness and which can be cut through so that, upon withdrawal of said detent from said container, enough of said bridge piece is exposed outside said container to permit said bridge piece to be cut through, whereby a tongue portion carrying said barb can fall into said container but said detent remains on said handle to permit reinsertion of said detent into said container to relock the same.
