Abstract

A container having a base including a bottom and four walls that are connected to the bottom and define a storage space having an opening. A first and second recess define a vertical step. A lid is pivotally mounted on the base and covers at least a portion of the opening when in a closed position. A prop is arranged so that it abuts against a vertical step when the lid is in an open position thereby discouraging the lid from moving into the closed position. The prop fits substantially inside the first and second recesses when the lid is in the closed position.
