Abstract
A container for loosely stored products comprises a) a container body comprising a peripheral body wall having an inner peripheral body groove; b) a cover comprising a cover skirt having an outwardly facing sealing portion with an apex that seals against the inner peripheral body groove when the cover is in a closed condition thereby forming a seal of a sealing line type; and c) a hinge connecting the container body and the cover. The apex of the cover skirt and the inner peripheral body groove provide the only seal between the cover and the container body and the only locking element that holds the cover in the closed condition on the container body.

- c) a hinge connecting the container body and the cover;
- wherein the seal between the apex of the cover skirt of the cover and the inner peripheral body groove of the container body provides the only seal when the container is in the closed condition.
A container for loosely stored products comprising
- a) a container body having a peripheral body wall, wherein a peripheral body groove is defined in an inner surface of the peripheral body wall;
- b) a cover having a cover skirt, wherein an apex is formed on an outer surface of the cover skirt, wherein the apex cooperates with the peripheral body groove so as to form a line seal between the cover and the container body when the cover is in a closed condition and so as to hold the cover in the closed condition on the container body;
- and
- c) a hinge connecting the container body and the cover, the hinge allowing a pivoting of the cover relative to the container body;
