Abstract (en)

A hinged container (10) is disclosed, comprising: (a) a base (112) having an opening; (b) a movable lid (114) configured to cover the opening when closed; (c) a hinge (16) joining the base and lid, allowing the lid to pivot open or closed relative to the opening in the base; (d) at least one catch (170) associated with one of the base and the lid; (e) at least one latch (166) associated with the other of the base and the lid, the latch being positionable to engage the catch when the lid is closed over the opening in the base and movable to disengage from the catch to thereby allow the lid to be opened; and (f) at least one push tab (156) associated with the latch, the push tab being movable between a first position, in which the push tab projects outwardly from the container, and a second position, in which the push tab is depressed inwardly toward the container, wherein movement of the push tab from its first position to its second position causes the latch to disengage from the catch.
