Abstract
A metal container cover is swingably connected to a metal container body by a hinge which consists of a single-piece extrusion of resiliently yieldable plastic. The hinge is generally S-shaped in transverse cross-section and includes upper and lower hook sections adapted to be snap-assembled with the body and the cover, respectively. A slot in the cover accommodates the lower hook section to enable the cover to swing to an open position.
