The cover member includes a pair of coaxial and inwardly facing rod-like pivot members which are axially spaced apart and project from the lid or cover member. The base or container member includes a receptacle arrangement, including an elongate locking slot and a pair of arcuate grooves formed at either end, the grooves generally defining segments of a tubular hinge knuckle for receiving the rod-like pivot members. A locking member is employed to maintain the cover in articulate assembly, said locking member comprises a base or frame segment slidably insertable in the elongate locking slot, and having a pair of fingers extending outwardly of opposite sides of the base or frame segment, each said finger having arcuate inner surface portions defining generally segments of a tubular hinge knuckle. Further said base or frame segment includes a locking tab portion for snap-like engagement in the locking slot when the base portion is assembled. The respective knuckle segments on the locking member and the base member upon assembly surrounding the rod-like members on the cover, thereby to maintain said cover in pivotal assembly with the base member.</p> |
