ABSTRACT:
A container comprising a tubular body members of rectangular cross-section and a hinged lid member having a skirt formed by shallow depending walls adapted to telescope closely over the walls of the body member when the lid is in the closed position, is provided with latching means and a projection on the outside of each side wall of the body member adjacent the open end thereof having an interference fit with the inside surface of the side wall of the lid member, whereby compressive forces are exerted by the lid member on the side walls of the body member as the lid is closed, thereby causing the front wall of the body member to flex slightly to assure the positive engagement of the latching means.
