Abstract
Abstract A display box molded of a plastic material comprising a base member and a removable cover, with the base member having a bottom, spaced sides, end walls, and an open top. The bottom extends outwardly of the end walls so that it forms a lip exteriorly of the end walls adjacent the bottom of the end walls. Each end wall has one or more ribs which extend to the bottom lip which serve as guide members. The removable cover has a top wall and spaced downwardly extending end walls which have an inwardly extending lip adjacent the bottom. The cover is adapted to be positioned on the base member so that the top wall of the cover extends over the top of the base member and the end walls of the cover are adjacent the exterior of the end walls of the base member, with the lips of the end walls of the cover riding over the rib or ribs on the end walls of the base member as same is moved into position and the lips engage the bottom of the base member to detachably lock the cover to the base member.
