Abstract

The invention relates to a container (1) having a cover (2) which is connected to the container (1) by at least two hinge arrangements (3) so that it can be opened and closed about a pivot axis (a) relative to the container (1). For permanent attachment of the cover to the container each hinge arrangement (3) comprises: a hinge gudgeon (4) disposed on the cover (2) with a casing section (5) formed in some sections in a dish shape on which a web (6) extending in the direction of the pivot axis (a) is formed; and a slot (7) introduced into the upper edge region of the container (1) and extending in the direction of the pivot axis (a) for receiving the casing section (5) formed in some sections in a dish shape, wherein the extent (b) of the casing section (5) together with the web (6) measured in the direction of the pivot axis (a) is greater than the extent (c) of the slot (7) measured in the direction of the pivot axis (a).
