Abstract
In a device for locking a container to a vehicle chassis, having a housing (1), which on the housing side toward the container is provided with a protruding guide block (2); and having a rotary knob (3), which is supported in the housing (1) and which has a shaft (4), guided in the guide block (2), a hammerhead-shaped locking portion (5) protruding past the guide block (2), and an actuation portion (6) disposed on the opposite direction from the locking portion (5), the locking being effected by rotation of the rotary knob (3) about an actuation angle of approximately 90.degree., it is provided, in order to assure simple and secure actuation, that the guide block (2) has a rotation limiting portion (17) with at least two stops acting in the rotational direction; and that the rotary knob (3) has at least one radially protruding extension (22), which limits the rotation of the rotary knob (3) in both rotational directions, by contact with the respective stops of the rotation limiting portion (17), to the rotational range of the actuation angle between a locking position and a release position.
