Abstract
A container with a container body includes two side panels and two end panels respectively upstanding from the edges of a four-sided base and a two-part lid, which can slide to a container top uncovering position and then pivot to a storage position. A securing device and a second securing device holds each lid part against the underlying top edges of the panels when the lid part is in a container top covering position. A third securing device couples each lid part, when in a storage position, to a side panel. A socket on each side panel is engaged by elements of the first securing device to facilitate pivoting of the lid parts from the container top uncovering position to their storage positions.
Claims8
A container, comprising:
- a container body made from a four-sided base with two oppositely disposed side panels and two oppositely disposed end panels, said side panels and said end panels all upstanding from said base;
- and,
- a two-part lid for said container body, each lid part of said two-part lid being substantially rectangular with two side edges and a front edge and a rear edge, each said lid part having lugs on said side edges and adjacent said front edge and hook means on said rear edge, said lugs releasably engaging said end panels for holding each said lid part when in an operative container closing condition, so that said front edge is substantially in contact with upper edges of said end panels, said hook means holding each said lid part when in an operative container top closing condition so that said rear edge is substantially in contact with an upper edge of an associated one of said side panels and holding each said lid part after movement to a container top exposing condition in a storage position in external overlying juxtaposition to its associated side panel, said lugs on each said lid part being engagable with a socket on its associated said side panel for providing pivot connections, whereby each said lid part is pivotable from said container top exposing condition to said storage position.
