Molded container with hinged lids having a knuckle and pin connection

A container comprising:

• a) a bottom, a pair of opposed sidewalls and a pair of opposed end walls connected together to form a container body having an open top;
• b) a cover constituted by a pair of lid halves, each lid half being hingedly connected on one edge to an upper edge of one of said side walls;
• c) said upper edge of each side wall having a plurality of pin segments formed thereon along a hinge line;
• d) said one edge of each lid half having a plurality of generally U-shaped knuckles formed thereon along a hinge line, each said knuckle having opposed side walls which form a slot having an opening at one end and a bearing portion at an opposite end and which opens upwardly with respect to a top surface of each lid half and wherein said opposed side walls of said slots of a least certain of said knuckles each have ribs protruding inwardly between said opening and said bearing portion to retain corresponding in segments of said container body in said bearing portions of said slots when each lid half is connected to said container body, and whereby when the lid half is connected to one of said sidewalls, said pin segments are engaged in said slots to form a rotatable hinge connection between said one of said sidewalls and each lid half and said slots face outwardly in a direction away from the top surface of each lid half;
• and
• wherein an end knuckle is formed at each end of said hinge line on each lid half, each said end knuckle having an opening on an inside end thereof facing a mid portion of said lid half, and said pin segments include a corresponding cantilever pin extending outwardly formed at each end of said hinge line on each container body sidewall whereby said openings in said end knuckles capture said corresponding respective cantilever pins when each lid half is connected to said container body.
