ABSTRACT:
A container (10) adapted for holding, storing, and dispensing various elongated tool bits (28) or other such tool items includes a base (12) with a hinged cover (18) that is substantially completely enclosed within the base (12) when the hinge cover (18) is pivoted to its fully open position by way of a hinge assembly (36, 38) that is also substantially completely unclosed within the base (12). Provisions are made for substantially preventing or at least minimizing any tendency of the tool items (28) to fall or slide loose from their respective tool item receptacles (24) when the container (10) is tipped or inverted. In addition, the tool item receptacles (24) include a number of flats (60) therein for grippingly and releasingly receiving the tool items (28). Such tool item receptacles (24) are also configured to have a large draft angle (64) on their exterior surfaces within a hollow interior space in the base (12) in order to facilitate the ease of removal of a base (12) during injection molding or other forming.
