Abstract
A container moldable from a resilient, semirigid plastic material includes a transparent cover member and an opaque base member. The cover member includes a depending peripheral skirt having an angled slot formed in the junction of the skirt with a wall of the cover. The base member includes an outwardly extending, generally horizontal tab insertable through the slot in the cover member. A ramp-shaped detent formed integral with the tab prevents removal of the cover from the base when the cover is opened and provides a hinged connection between the cover member and the base member.
