The combination of a container and a screw-type lid is improved by a tamper-evident feature comprising a locking tab on the exterior of the container having upwardly facing teeth and mating teeth on the lid, the teeth on the container and lid being arranged so as be slidable relative to one another while in mutual engagement when the lid is rotated in one direction and to lock to one another when the lid is urged to rotate in an opposite direction. The tab is tearable to terminate the locking action, thereby evidencing tampering. A catch member formed on the container is positioned to engage and cam one of several latch lugs formed on the lid, whereby to establish a locking action with that latch lug. The catch member prevents removal of the lid from the container until the engaged latch lug is pressed inwardly far enough for it to be released from the catch member, whereupon the lid may be unscrewed from the container.

Tamper-evident container

The combination of a reusable lid and a container, the lid being provided with locking tabs and the container being provided with openings designed to accept the locking tabs and to make an interlocking connection by relatively rotating the lid and container. A latch element is formed on the lid for engagement with one of a plurality of cooperating catch elements formed on the container. The engaged catch element prevents removal of the lid from the container until the latch element is depressed inwardly far enough to allow the lid to be turned to a position in which the tabs may be removed from the openings.

Plastic cover for container

A wheeled container made of plastic has a bottom end wall formed with two wheel-receiving pockets and first and second C-configured spring clips disposed on opposite sides of each pocket and projecting away from the bottom end wall. Each clip has an open portion that faces outwardly from the container. A wheel assembly is associated with each pocket. Each wheel assembly consists of a wheel and first and second axle portions that are received by the first and second spring clips respectively of a pocket, with the wheel being received by and extending out of that pocket.
