The lid (20) comprises a front wall (22) having a straight upper edge (38) and a lower edge (32), a rear wall, two side walls (26) and a top wall (28) and is adapted to close the top of the shell (10) when it is in a closed state and to allow access to the interior of the shell (10) when it is in an opened state. The rear wall of the lid (20) is connected to the rear wall of the shell (10) along a hinge line about which the lid (20) can be swivelled for transition between the closed state and the opened state.
