Animal cage lock
A lock for an animal cage is configured to releasably couple two adjacent wire mesh panels together. The lock comprises a fastener 29, 31 for coupling it to the first mesh panel, and a support 36 for retaining an outer edge of the second mesh panel. A two-part locking mechanism 39, 41 is switchable between locked and unlocked positions in which the second panel’s edge (85, Fig. 11) is respectively retained in or movable from the support 36, e.g. by means of a rotating locking arm 38 entering a keep 41 to retain the second panel’s edge. A safety catch may prevent unlocking until manually released, e.g. by pressing a button 67, may be automatically engaged by closing the lock, and may indicate visually whether the lock is open or closed, e.g. by contrast with the colour of the locking arm. The lock may be mountable in multiple discrete orientations and may retain the second panel at a range of angles, e.g. allowing relative rotation of the two mesh panels.
