Abstract
A tote box having a rigid reinforcing rim extending around its top periphery is provided with a removable lid which is secured in place by a rigid locking tongue biased into locking engagement with an exposed locking segment of the reinforcing rim. The lid is also preferably strengthened by a rigid rim to which the locking tongue is affixed. Downwardly depending side panels on the lid are folded to define pockets within which the lid rim is contained, and corner retention bar members on the lid rim are engaged under exposed corner segments of the box reinforcing rim to cooperate with the locking tongue in holding the lid securely locked in place.
