Abstract

See full text

There is disclosed a food container from which bulk food or candy is adapted to be disbursed, in which the opening in the container is closed by a hinged cover that includes an integrally molded hinge pin adapted to be seated in an upwardly open groove in the container and in which it is secured by a plastic clip that is adapted to be snapped in place and comprises a first leg that extends through a slot in the cover over the hinge pin and a second leg opposed to the first leg and extending through the access opening into the container, together with a rounded end portion that encircles the hinge area. For assembling, the first leg of the spring clip has a free end that extends over a channel in the top wall of the container so that the hinge pin can be inserted under the free end and drawn forward to deflect the first leg of the clip until the hinge pin falls into the groove.
