ABSTRACT:
A thermoplastic molded or formed container has four trapezoidal walls that incline upwardly and outwardly upstanding from a bottom wall to create a top opening that is larger than the bottom wall. Each side wall has a closure flap that is connected to it at an upper edge by a living hinge. A locking handle member in the shape of a loop with locking extensions extends from an edge of one flap and engages a slot in an opposite flap. The handle member is a loop with locking projections which engage the opposite flap surface, the handle member passing through the slot for manually grasping. The container may be square or rectangular in transverse section or a combination thereof with a conical truncated section.
