Container with hinged lid
First Claim
1. Apparatus comprising:
- a hollow container body having a thickened peripherally extending rim and an open end bounded by the rim, the rim defining a periphery of the container body and having a linear part which defines a pintle, the pintle defining a pintle axis; and
a lid body overlying the rim in a closed position and having a channel formed therein which includes a linear part defining a socket, the linear part of the channel having a concave wall that extends in close-fitting relation through greater than 180 degrees of the circumferential extent of the pintle around the pintle axis to hingably couple the lid body to the container body for movement about the pintle axis from the closed position to an open position where the lid body is disposed at an angle to the open end of the container.

Abstract
A container (22) includes a container body (26) having an open end (34) bounded by a thickened rim (32) having a linear part (36) defining a pintle; a lid body (40) overlying the rim (32) in a closed position and having a channel (46) which includes a linear part (42) defining a socket (66) and having a concave wall (67) extending in close-fitting relation through greater than 180 degrees of the circumferential extent of the pintle around an axis defined thereby to hingably couple the lid body (40) to the container body (26). A container flange (28) extends outwardly around the container body (26) in spaced relation to the rim (32). A skirt (38) is detachable from the lid body (40), and extends therefrom in surrounding relation to the container flange (28) and has a lid flange (56) which extends around and grips the underside of the container flange (28) such that, upon detachment of the skirt (38), the lid body (40) is pivotally movable about the axis to an open position apart from the open end (34).
