ABSTRACT:
An elongate container of one-piece resilient thermoplastic construction. The container includes a first wall having first and second lateral edges with a first latching component positioned adjacent the first lateral edge. A second wall has first and second lateral edges with a second latching component, for interlocking with the first latching component positioned adjacent its second lateral edge. The container also includes a hinge joining the first lateral edge of the first wall and second lateral edge of the second wall, with the hinge including a web of material having a thickness less than the thickness of the walls. The walls are relatively movable about the hinge between an as-formed position in which the first and second latching components are spaced and a use position in which the first and second walls extend relative to each other at a predetermined angle and the first and second latching components are in locking engagement. The container has a generally uniform cross section throughout its length so that it can be formed by extrusion. A method of using the container is also disclosed.
