ABSTRACT:
A container (10) includes a cover (12) pivotally attached to a base portion (11) by a hinge assembly (24). The hinge assembly (24) includes a pin (28) carried by the base portion (11) and received through an opening (33) in a knuckle (32) carried by the cover (12). The knuckle (32) is rotated on the pin (28) such that when the cover (12) is on the base portion (11), the opening (33) faces generally downwardly, and when the cover (12) is rotated approximately 180 degrees, the opening (33) faces generally upwardly. The hinge assembly (24) also includes spaced lugs (34) carried by the knuckle (32) and spaced resilient stop members (30) carried by the base portion (11). The space between the stop members (30) is less than the space between the lugs (34) such that when the cover (12) is rotated a predetermined distance, the stop members (30 ) engage the lugs (34), but if the cover (12) is rotated further than the predetermined distance, the stop members (30) flex to release the lugs (34) so that the lugs (34) can pass between the stop members (30).
