A lock for locking a sterilization container has box-like bottom part and a container cover that can be removed and placed airtightly and connected on the bottom part by a seal to form a closed sterilization space. The lock has a tensioning lever pivotable into an opened position, and a closing flap rotatable about an axis of rotation, with a positive-locking closed position with the tensioning lever. The tensioning lever is able to be brought via the closing flap, during the rotary motion of the closing flap into an opened rotated position, with the closing flap disengaged from the tensioning lever after a further rotary motion into a fully opened end position. The tensioning lever may be fixed in open, and the closing flap positive-lockingly engages with the tensioning lever during closing and the tensioning lever is able be to moved into a closed tensioned position by the closing flap.

A lock for locking a sterilization container comprising a container cover, a bottom part, wherein the container cover can be removed and can be placed airtightly on the bottom part and a sealing means, said container cover being connected to said bottom part by means of said sealing means arranged peripherally between said container cover and said bottom part to form a closed sterilization space, the lock comprising: a tensioning lever which can be brought, pivotably about a pivot axis, from a closed tensioned position located above dead center into an opened pivoted position;a closing flap rotatable about an axis of rotation, said closing flap being in pulling connection with the tensioning lever in a positive-locking manner in a closing flap closed position, wherein:said tensioning lever is brought by the closing flap into said opened pivoted position via a positive-locking connection with said closing flap during a rotary motion of said closing flap from said closing flap closed position into a closing flap opened rotated position, and said closing flap disengages with the tensioning lever after a further rotary motion into a closing flap fully opened position;said tensioning lever is fixed in said opened pivoted position, and said closing flap engages with said tensioning lever in a positive-locking manner during closing and said tensioning lever is adjusted by said closing flap into said closed tensioned position; andsaid tensioning lever comprises a block and two mounting legs located at spaced locations from one another and provided with a mounting hole each, said tensioning lever being mounted pivotably on a mounting block fastened to the sterilization container. 2. A lock in accordance with claim 1, wherein: said tensioning lever forms a clamping block starting from said mounting legs, said clamping block having an end area located opposite said mounting legs, a depression extending in parallel to a pivot axis; andsaid closing flap is caused to engage in a positive-locking and movable manner. 3. A lock in accordance with claim 2, wherein said depression is limited on a rear side towards the sterilization container by a stop web extending approximately radially to said pivot axis, said web coming into functional connection with said closing flap during a closing operation, and said depression being joined by an engaging surface opposite to a stop web. 4. A lock in accordance with claim 1, wherein: said closing flap is mounted rotatably on the sterilization container via a mounting element; andsaid closing flap has a central opening with an engaging strip extending in parallel to said axis of rotation, with said engaging strip, said closing flap being caused to engage with said tensioning lever in a positive-locking manner. 5. A lock in accordance with claim 4, wherein: said tensioning lever with said clamping block passes through said central opening of said closing flap in the closed state of lock; andsaid central opening forms said engaging strip for engaging with said depression of said clamping block in a positive-locking manner and rotatably in relation thereto in the closed state of the lock. 6. A lock and sterilization container comprising: a container cover;a bottom part, wherein said container cover can be removed and can be placed airtightly on said bottom part;a sealing means, said container cover being connected to said bottom part by means of said sealing means arranged peripherally between said container cover and said bottom part for forming a closed sterilization space; anda lock comprising: a tensioning lever which can be brought, pivotably about a pivot axis, from a closed tensioned position located above dead center into an opened pivoted position;a closing flap rotatable about an axis of rotation, said closing flap being in pulling connection with the tensioning lever in a positive-locking manner in a closing flap closed position, wherein said tensioning lever is brought by the closing flap into said opened pivoted position via a positive-locking connection with said closing flap during a rotary motion of said closing flap from said closing flap closed position into a closing flap opened rotated position, and said closing flap disengages with the tensioning lever after a further rotary motion into a closing flap fully opened position and said tensioning lever is fixed in said opened pivoted position, and said closing flap engages with said tensioning lever in a positive-locking manner during closing and said tensioning lever is adjusted by said closing flap into said closed tensioned position, said tensioning lever comprising a block and two mounting legs located at spaced locations from one another and provided with a mounting hole each, said tensioning lever being mounted pivotably on a mounting block fastened to the sterilization container. 7. A lock and sterilization container in accordance with claim 6, wherein: said tensioning lever forms a clamping block starting from said mounting legs, said clamping block having an end area located opposite said mounting legs, a depression extending in parallel to a pivot axis; andsaid closing flap is caused to engage in a positive-locking and movable manner. 8. A lock and sterilization container in accordance with claim 7, wherein said depression is limited on a rear side towards the sterilization container by a stop web extending approximately radially to said pivot axis, said web coming into functional connection with said closing flap during a closing operation, and said depression being joined by an engaging surface opposite to a stop web. 9. A lock and sterilization container in accordance with claim 6, further comprising via a mounting element wherein: said closing flap is mounted rotatably on the sterilization container via said mounting element; andsaid closing flap has a central opening with an engaging strip extending in parallel to said axis of rotation, with said engaging strip, said closing flap being caused to engage with said tensioning lever in a positive-locking manner. 10. A lock and sterilization container in accordance with claim 9, wherein: said tensioning lever with said clamping block passes through said central opening of said closing flap in the closed state of lock; andsaid central opening forms said engaging strip for engaging with said depression of said clamping block in a positive-locking manner and rotatably in relation thereto in the closed state of the lock.
