Abstract
A container cover and assembly provide an extremely low profiled edge to the container cover when the container cover is secured or attached to a complementary container. Using such a low profile results in less of an edge being exposed such that its profile works to prevent inadvertent opening of the hinged lid from the container cover and also prevent removal of the container cover from the container. The container cover comprises two halves that are integrally-molded. The two halves are connected by a common pivot point or hinge that is disposed to one side of each half which allows the halves to be folded over and onto one another. The structure of the container cover and integrally-formed hinged lid can be formed using a one-shot plastic injection molding process. This simplifies and speeds up the production process for manufacturing the container cover and hinged lid combination.
