A wheeled container includes a one-piece molded polymeric/copolymeric container body defined by an elongated housing closed at a first end by a bottom wall ad having an opposite second end defining an opening. A one-piece molded polymeric/copolymeric cover is pivotally connected to a peripheral edge portion of the container body second end for pivotal movement between a first closed and a second open position respectively closing and opening the container second end opening. The cover has a handle projecting substantially radially away from a longitudinal axis of the housing, and a pair of relatively spaced wheels are located at the first end of the container at a side of the housing corresponding to a side from which the handle projects. Latches are disposed substantially diametrically opposite to the handle for retaining the cover in the closed position.
A wheeled container comprising a one-piece molded polymeric/copolymeric container body defined by an elongated housing closed at a first end by a bottom wall and having an opposite second end defining an opening, a one-piece molded polymeric/copolymeric cover, means for pivotally connecting said cover to a peripheral edge portion of said second end for pivotal movement between a first closed and a second open position respectively closing and opening said second end opening, said cover including a handle projecting substantially radially away from a longitudinal axis of said housing, a pair of relatively spaced wheels located at said first end at a side of said housing corresponding to a side from which the handle projects, means disposed substantially diametrically opposite to said handle for retaining said cover in said closed position, said cover including a recess defined by an end panel merging with a peripheral wall which in turn merges with a substantially annular wall, said housing second end including a peripheral wall radially inward of and projecting axially upwardly from a substantially annular wall, and said peripheral walls and said annular walls being in substantially mating relationship in said closed position.
A wheeled container comprising a one-piece molded polymeric/copolymeric container body defined by an elongated housing closed at a first end by a bottom wall and having an opposite second end defining an opening, a one-piece molded polymeric/copolymeric cover, means for pivotally connecting said cover to a peripheral edge portion of said second end for pivotal movement between a first closed and a second open position respectively closing and opening said second end opening, said cover including a handle projecting substantially radially away from a longitudinal axis of said housing, a pair of relatively spaced wheels located at said first end at a side of said housing corresponding to a side from which the handle projects, means disposed substantially diametrically opposite to said handle for retaining said cover in said closed position, said handle defining a hand-receiving opening and including a hand grip portion, and said pivotally connecting means are located at an opposite side of said hand-receiving opening substantially across from said hand grip portion.
A wheeled container comprising a one-piece molded polymeric/copolymeric container body defined by an elongated housing closed at a first end by a bottom wall and having an opposite second end defining an opening, a one-piece molded polymeric/copolymeric cover, means for pivotally connecting said cover to a peripheral edge portion of said second end for pivotal movement between a first closed and a second open position respectively closing and opening said second end opening, said cover including a handle projecting substantially radially away from a longitudinal axis of said housing, a pair of relatively spaced wheels located at said first end at a side of said housing corresponding to a side from which the handle projects, means disposed substantially diametrically opposite to said handle for retaining said cover in said closed position, said housing first end including a pair of wheel-receiving recesses opening downwardly and sidewise away from each other, one of said pair of wheels is received in an associated one of said wheel-receiving recesses, another recess adjacent each wheel-receiving means, each another recess being recessed a lesser distance from an exterior surface of said housing first end than the recessed distance of an adjacent wheel-receiving recess from the housing first end exterior surface, means for covering each wheel and substantially sidewise closing each wheel-receiving recess, and said covering means is in part seated in each another recess.
