<p>A wastebasket includes a container (2) having an upper rim (16) defining an open end, and a lid (4) mounted on the container at its upper rim. The lid is positionable to cover and uncover the open end. The lid is pivotable between a closed position, where it covers the open end of the container, and an open position, where it is disposed in a substantially upright position uncovering the open end of the container. The lid and container include portions which are used for latching the lid in the upright, open position so that the lid will not fall inadvertently. The container latching portion includes a rib (30) having an exposed corner (50) and a recess (52). The lid latching portion is resiliently yieldable and includes a protrusion (42) which is adapted to ride over the corner and snap into the recess of the container rib when the lid is in the open position.</p> |
