A container comprising first and second body portions, the closure device operable to hold the first and second body portions in a closed position, the closure device including an engagement element which extends from the first body portion of the container, and a clasp attached to the second body portion of the container, and releasably engageable with the engagement element, thereby to hold the second body portion in position with respect to the first body portion,
wherein the clasp includes:
a locating element which extends from the second body portion of the container and which defines a locating aperture therethrough;a clasp body defining at one end region thereof an engagement portion for engagement with the engagement element, and having an elongate pivot portion located at another end region thereof;a hinge element rotatably mounted on the pivot portion of the clasp body, and having a partially cylindrical portion which extends substantially around the pivot portion, and first and second retaining portions which extend from respective ends of the partially cylindrical portion, and which extend adjacent one another through the locating aperture of the locating element,wherein the hinge element is of resilient material, and is arranged such that the first and second retaining portions thereof are biased to diverge from one another, thereby providing a friction fit within the locating element. |
