ABSTRACT:
A storage container includes a first container portion and a second container portion hingedly attached to the first container portion. A latch is slidably disposed on the first container portion. The latch includes a pair of engaging members extending therefrom. The latch is moveable between a locked position wherein the engaging members engage the first container portion to the second container portion and an unlocked position wherein the engaging members disengage the first container portion from the second container portion. The latch is subjected to a first biasing force adapted to inhibit movement of the latch in a first direction and a second biasing force adapted to inhibit movement of the latch in a second direction. Movement of the latch into the unlocked position is accomplished by sequential movement of the latch in the first direction followed by movement of the latch in the second direction.
