ABSTRACT:
An improved latching arrangement is provided for a container and lid of the type in which the container has a flexible, resilient sidewall. Latching arms are pivoted to opposite sides of the container sidewall and engage loops which depend from the periphery of the lid. Each of the latching arms is mounted to the container sidewall in a manner such that when the latching arm is pivoted between its locked and unlocked positions a portion of the latching arm interferes with the flexible sidewall of the container which causes the container to flex, resiliently and provide a snap action which retains the latch arm in either of the locked or unlocked positions.
