ABSTRACT:
A flip top container used to store a smoking pipe and smoking material. Pivots mount a side lever and the top lid to the container's body while side panels mounted on the body define two sides of the smoking material chamber. A first biasing spring on the lid engages the top of a stored pipe and acts to raise the lid while a second biasing spring on the lever acts to pivot the lever into engagement with the closed lid top and keep it in that position. When the lever is depressed it pivots on its pin to release the engaged lid which then flips upward by virtue of its biased spring. Complementarily shaped engaged stepped surfaces on the ends of the lever and lid assist in maintaining the lid closed and locked when access to the container is not desired.
