ABSTRACT:
A container structure generally in the form of a housing having at least one but preferably a plurality of compartments defining a primary compartment area and having movably attached thereto a plurality of closure elements disposed to regulate access to the interior of the compartments. A pivotal locking element has an elongated configuration and an outwardly extending tongue disposed for pivotal, locking engagement with a similarly dimensioned elongated groove formed on each of the closure elements to provide locking engagement therewith. A hinge structure is secured to allow pivotal movement of the one or more compartments out of the interior of the housing so as to provide access through the open top of the compartment independent of the cover elements. The disposition and specific structural configuration of the locking element relative to the structure of the closure element and predetermined portions of the housing prevent sufficient sealing and/or isolation of the interior of the compartment thereby reducing or eliminating seepage into the interior.
