Display container having secure closure mechanism

A display container for retaining a plurality tool bits, the display container comprising:

• a housing and a tool bit panel for receiving tool bits;
• the housing including a bottom portion having a plurality of sides and a top portion which can engage the bottom portion to form an enclosure within which the tool bit panel can reside, the housing being in a closed orientation when the top portion is so engaged with the bottom portion;
• the top portion being interconnected with one of said plurality of sides of the bottom portion such that the top portion can engage the bottom portion to form the enclosure;
• a lower portion of the tool bit panel being pivotally interconnected with the bottom portion of the housing such that the tool bit panel can pivot with respect to the bottom portion, thereby affording improved access to an upper portion of the tool bit panel when the top portion of the housing is not engaged with the bottom portion to form the enclosure and the upper portion of the panel is pivoted away from the bottom portion;
• the tool bit panel having a plurality of tool bit receiving receptacles for receiving and retaining tool bits;
• the housing having a snap closure mechanism, the snap closure mechanism having first and second elements, the first element being a part of a first portion of the housing and the second element being a part of a second portion of the housing, the first portion being selected from one of the group consisting of the top portion and the bottom portion, and the second portion being the other one of said group;
• the first element including a latch strap, the latch strap being an extension of the first portion and having a strap surface extending away from the first portion, the latch strap further including a catch protruding away from the strap surface to define a catch face generally extending away from the strap surface at an angle of about 90°, the second element including a lip on the second portion over which the latch strap can extend when the top portion is engaged with the bottom portion to form the enclosure, wherein the catch face of the first element can engage the lip of the second element such that the latch strap engages the lip and holds the enclosure in the closed orientation;
• the second portion further including a containment bridge under which at least an end portion of the latch strap extends when the latch strap engages the lip, the containment bridge extending from a first location to a second location on the second portion proximate the lip, and generally restricting the movement of the strap away from the lip when the catch face is engaged with the lip such that the catch face cannot be disengaged from the lip without destroying the containment bridge because the strap is held generally in place by the containment bridge.
