Abstract
A container having a bottom and two pairs of opposed walls connected together to form a container body having an open top covered by a pair of hinged lids. The upper edges of one pair of opposed walls have a plurality of pin segments formed thereon along a hinge line and an edge of each of the lids has a plurality of generally U-shaped knuckles formed thereon along the hinge line with each knuckle having opposed sidewalls forming a slot having an opening at one end and a bearing portion at an opposite end which opens upwardly with respect to a top surface of the lid. The opposed sidewalls of the slot of each knuckle have ribs protruding inwardly to retain a corresponding pin segment of the container body. When the lids are connected to the container body and rotated to a closed position, the slots of each knuckle face upwardly in a direction away from the top surface of the lid.
