Abstract
A hinge assembly for a lid for a container consists of a pivot pin secured to the lid and which is rotatably mounted at its end in recesses formed inside the container. The pivot pin is retained in the recesses by an abutment member formed inside the container, the abutment member being deflectable to permit the pivot pin to be inserted into or withdrawn from the recesses. The abutment member is moulded as part of the container and is shaped so that no movable cores are required for the moulding tool resulting in a low cost arrangement.
