Abstract: A handgun-shot suppressor has a housing with an outer shell with a rear end adapted to fit with a shot-containment device and an opposite front end. A mass of sound-deadening material within the housing forms a passage and is formed at the front end with a front cavity fittable with a muzzle of a handgun so that a shot fired by a handgun fitted to the front cavity passes through the passage. A gas-permeable cover lining the passage and the cavity lies against the mass of sound-deadening material. A rear wall penetrable by the projectile closes the rear end of the housing.

Abstract: A container having corner regions with hollow bodies is provided. Locking devices are provided that are received in the corner regions. Electrically driven, rotatable and displaceable locking mechanisms are respectively disposed in corners of the container. For a lower region of each locking mechanism, a locking member is provided that is adapted to engage in corresponding hollow bodies, disposed on upper corner regions of a comparable container disposed there below and adapted to receive locking devices, for interlocking the containers, sensors and signal emitters are disposed in the container for indicating a respective position of one of the locking mechanisms in a corner of the container.

Abstract: The invention relates to a container with a pneumatically driven locking mechanism and more specifically a container. One disadvantage of conventional containers is that when they are stacked on top of each other, it is not possible to raise and transport several of such containers at the same time. Another disadvantage is that stacked containers have hitherto needed to be locked manually, resulting in a considerable safety risk for dock workers and ship workers. The aim of the invention is to provide a container which is fitted in such a way that it can be locked with other similar containers without the need for manual activity and enable several stacked containers to be transported simultaneously. This is achieved by providing the container with corners having pneumatically driven, rotatable and displaceable locking devices arranged therein.
