Abstract: A transport container especially suitable to be supported on a cart or trolley, and also suitable for use in an aircraft, if desired, is constructed as a parallelepiped. Two oppositely located doors are connected by hinges to a frame structure. The hinges form part of the frame structure and allow the doors to open through an angle of 270.degree.. Corner braces having mutually perpendicular tenons mate with tubular metal stock such as sectional rods to form the frame of the container. The metal rods have U-rails for the mounting of wall, floor, door, and cover plates. A door locking mechanism is located in a hollow chamber of a door member or stile. The locking mechanism includes an interconnection of a sliding bar and two lock bolts. The rotation of a door handle actuates the lock bolts which retract into the stile for opening the door.

Abstract: A rolling container assembly has a braking and locking system including a pair of locking levers on shafts positioned to engage opposite sides of a fixed anchor. The locking levers are releasable by separate control levers. Braking spikes are arranged on a pair of further shafts, and are inclined downwardly from their respective shafts and toward the center of the container. Lost motion rods intercouple the locking lever with the braking spikes, so that the braking spikes may be rotated to vertical positions independently of the respective locking levers. The shafts through which the braking spikes are connected are also coupled by a lever, whereby the braking spikes simultaneously rotate in opposite senses.
