ABSTRACT:
An improved latching arrangement is provided for a rigid container having a lid including latching arms pivotally disposed at opposite sides of the container for engaging loops which depend from the periphery of the lid. Each of the latching arms is pivotally mounted to the container sidewall and has a flexible end that interferes, by a bending action, with the container sidewall providing a snap action which retains the latch arm in either a locked or unlocked position. In an alternate embodiment the latch arms are pivotally supported from the loops of the lid, and each have a pivot bar that engages securing hooks extending from the sidewall of the container.
