Abstract
The present invention is concerned with a container consisting of a unitary body and of a pair of covering lids, the body and the lids being made of injection molded plastic material. The lids are hingedly connectable to the upper edges of the body through a snap engagement. The lids are thus formed of integral C-shaped projections along their longitudinal outer edge which engage onto integral hinge portions along the upper edge of the body side walls. The lids have their longitudinal inner edge constructed to define a trough allowing water collected on top of the lids to be dispensed trough appropriate openings in the end walls of the container body.
