ABSTRACT:
An improved container includes a main section and a cover section which are interconnected by a hinge assembly. The hinge assembly allows the cover section to move toward and away from the main section along a linear path so that a seal is uniformly compressed completely around an opening in the main section. In addition, the hinge assembly allows the cover section to pivot relative to the main section. The hinge assembly includes a base portion which is fixedly secured to the main section of the container. A connector portion of the hinge assembly has a pair of hinge plates which are pivotally interconnected. A lower hinge plate is slidably received between the base portion of the hinge assembly and the main section of the container to accommodate linear movement of the cover section relative to the main section of the container. Stop surfaces on the lower hinge plate and the base portion of the hinge assembly limit the extent of linear movement of the cover section relative to the main section of the container. An upper hinge plate is pivotally connected to the lower hinge plate and cover section to accommodate pivotal movement of the cover section.
