Container with a releasable hinged closure panel and a fixed closure panel

Claim 1

A container of one-piece plastic construction for housing articles such as labels and the like, comprising; a chamber for the articles, said chamber having an opening on one side for easy access to said articles therein, a relockable cover system extending from opposite ends of said chamber, said cover system being manually releasable to provide access to said articles so that the articles may be easily removed from the chamber, said cover system being reclosable to cover and seal said chamber opening, the cover system comprising a releasable panel and a fixed immobilized panel, the releasable panel being manually closeable over the chamber opening and at least partially covering the fixed panel to seal said chamber opening, the releasable panel in closed position having a lip edge extending over an exposed edge of the fixed panel to seal the chamber opening, and said releasable panel being permanently connected to the chamber by an integrally molded hinge, means integrally molded with said container for relocking the cover system over the chamber opening so that the cover system will not self open after it is closed over the chamber opening, wherein said relocking means functions to lock said releasable panel to the fixed panel so that even if the container is tilted the releasable panel will not self open after it has been closed over the chamber opening, said relocking means comprising a panel extending from the releasable panel in the direction of the chamber opening, said extending panel terminating at one end thereof with an inclined edge and a grooved portion over the incline, so that as the releasable panel is closed over the chamber opening the exposed edge of the fixed panel contacts said incline and thence said exposed edge of the fixed panel engages said grooved portion thereby locking said releasable panel to said fixed panel.
