ABSTRACT:
A container which includes a base and a lid connected together at a common juncture defining a hinge. The base has a bottom wall, an upstanding sidewall connected to the bottom wall with the hinge being oriented along a region adjacent an upper edge of the sidewall. A first flange extends generally laterally from at least opposite ends of the hinge and outwardly from the sidewall adjacent the upper edge of the sidewall. The first flange includes an upwardly facing surface. The lid has a top wall and a downwardly depending skirt connected to the top wall and extending at a perimeter thereof at least laterally from the opposite ends of the hinge outside of and in close proximity to the first flange. The skirt has a lower edge which, in a closed position of a lid, terminates at a position below the first flange. The lower edge, in an open position of the lid, is oriented above and rests on the upwardly facing surface of the first flange so as to releasably hold the lid in a predetermined open position.
