Lever assembly for locking a commercial vehicle load structure

Lever arrangement for closing a commercial vehicle cargo body, consisting of a base part (1) which can be fastened to the cargo body and a hand lever (2) arranged to pivot relative to the base part, which is provided with a handle grip (3) and can be locked to the base part (1) by a latch (10), wherein for the passage of a wire or rope-shaped customs seal, the base part (1) on the one hand and the hand lever (2) on the other hand are provided with openings (51, 52) which at least partially overlap each other in the locked position of the hand lever (2). To prevent manipulation, a protective housing (6) placed on the lever arrangement is proposed with first and second housing sections formed integrally thereon. The first housing section (61) covers the region of the pivot axis (A) of the lever arrangement toward the outside. The second housing section (62) overlaps the central region of the lever arrangement in a shell-like manner and is provided with at least one housing opening (65) which is aligned with the opening (51) in the base part (1) in the locked position.
