Abstract
A container including a lid, a first body, a second body and a latch is provided. The first body connects to the lid by a first hinge for pivoting between a lid closed position and a lid open position. The first body defines a storage cavity. The second body connects to the first body by a second hinge for pivoting the first body relative to the second body between a first body closed position and a first body open position. The second body defines a storage cavity. The latch is attached to the second body. The latch is transitionable between a latched position in which the latch engages the lid and prevents transitioning either the lid or the first body to the corresponding open positions.
Claims17
A container comprising:
- a lid;
- a first container body connected to the lid by a first hinge for pivoting the lid relative to the first container body between a lid closed position relative to the first container body and a lid open position relative to the first container body, the first container body defining a first storage cavity;
- a second container body connected to the first container body by a second hinge for pivoting the first container body relative to the second container body between a first container body closed position relative to the second container body and a first container body open position relative to the second container body, the second container body defining a second storage cavity;
- and
- a first latch attached to the second container body, the first latch being transitionable between a latched position in which the latch engages the lid and prevents pivoting of the lid about the first hinge or the first container body about the second hinge and an unlatched position in which the first latch is disengaged from the lid such that the first latch does not prevent the lid from pivoting relative to the first container body and such that the first latch does not prevent the first container body from pivoting relative to the second container body.
