CONTAINER WITH LATCHING LID

摘要

A lid has a manually operable latching arrangement which prevents inadvertent disengagement of the lid from a container body even during severe service conditions. Latching is effected by means of a captive plate on the lid, the plate carrying a latching strap and a blocking member. In the latching position the blocking member engages under a lip or flange at the upper edge of the container body, and the plate is retained in the latching position by engagement of the latching strap with an abutment in the lid.
