<p>SECURITY CONTAINER A security container having integral hinged lid sections which can be locked to the container to prevent tampering or pilferage of the contents. The lid sections are hinged to opposite sides of the container wall to enable each lid section to be pivoted between a downwardly hanging storage position and a generally horizontal closed position, where the lid sections enclose the open end of the container. The free longitudinal edge of each lid section is formed with a flap which projects beyond the center line of the container and extends slightly more than one-half the length of the lid section. The projecting flap of each lid section is adapted to overlie a recessed flap on the other lid section to provide a complete enclosure for the open upper end of the container. Aligned holes extend through the overlapping end edges of the lid sections, as well as through the rim of the container and are adapted to receive a lock or other security device. The closed lid sections provide a flat supporting surface to support a second stacked container, and upstanding projections are provided on the lid sections to serve as curbs to prevent displacement of the upper stacked container. Alternately, the lid sections can be secured in closed position by bands or straps and the hinges are interrupted to permit the bands to lie flat against the closed lid sections.</p> |
