Abstract
A container for storing various medical supplies such as bandages and gauze pads is provided which includes improved means for orienting the closure relative to the main body and locking the closure in place. The container includes a closure and a main body portion joined by a live hinge such that the closure engages the main body in a flush-like manner. The closure includes an improved rib and lug assembly which engages a complementarily-shaped slot in the main body front wall thereby orienting the closure relative to the main body and locking the closure in the closed position.
