Abstract
A wheeled container includes a one-piece molded polymeric/copolymeric container body defined by an elongated housing closed at a first end by a bottom wall ad having an opposite second end defining an opening. A one-piece molded polymeric/copolymeric cover is pivotally connected to a peripheral edge portion of the container body second end for pivotal movement between a first closed and a second open position respectively closing and opening the container second end opening. The cover has a handle projecting substantially radially away from a longitudinal axis of the housing, and a pair of relatively spaced wheels are located at the first end of the container at a side of the housing corresponding to a side from which the handle projects. Latches are disposed substantially diametrically opposite to the handle for retaining the cover in the closed position.
