ABSTRACT:
A container having a housing and a closure comprising a panel having compartment defining means, the closure being pivotally movable between container opening and closing positions. The container and closure are releasably securable to each other. The bottom wall of the housing is provided with an upstanding lip member and the bottom wall of the compartment has its forwardmost edge in parallel spaced relation with the bottom edge of the panel to define a slot between the panel and bottom wall of the compartment. The closure is assembled onto the housing with the lip inserted in the slot whereby the bottom wall of the compartment is supported by the juncture of the lip and bottom wall of the housing to enable pivotal movement of the closure relative to the housing without requiring pins or hinges. The normal weight of the closure biases the closure into closing position after the closure has been manually pivoted into said closing position. The container is particularly well suited to function as a bread box.
