Abstract

A container includes a cover secured on a base for receiving an insert and a knob slidably received in the base. A latch is slidably engaged in the base and biased to secure the insert in place. The knob includes a tapered surface for disengaging the latch from the insert. A spring is biased with the insert for biasing the insert outward of the base. The spring is solidly secured to the base. The knob can be prevented from being depressed inward of the cover inadvertently when a number of containers are stacked with each other.
