A unitary hinged connector (40) connects a metal container lid (32) and a metal container bottom (34) to form a hinged container (30). The metal lid (32) and bottom (34) have matching formed edges (46, 52) which may be identical in shape or interfitting. The hinged connector (40) is formed of molded thermoplastic and includes a ring member (54), a swingable partial segment (56), and an integrally formed hinge (58) joining the ring member (54) and the partial segment (56). The ring member (54), which is substantially continuous about the periphery, is normally attached to the formed edge of the container bottom (52), and has an upper seat (62) for engaging less than all sides of the formed edge (46) of the lid (32) when the container is closed, leaving the hinge side of the formed edge free. The swingable partial segment securely grips at least the hinge side of the formed edge of the lid. The hinge is positioned to close the container in a normal condition and allow the container lid to pivot about the hinge to open the container.

Un système de jonction unitaire (40) à charnière relie le couvercle (32) d'une boîte métallique au fond (34) de ladite boîte, de façon qu'ils forment une boîte (30) à charnière. Le couvercle (32) et le fond (34) ont des bords formés (46, 52) pouvant avoir une forme identique ou adaptée l'une à l'autre. Le système de jonction (40), en thermoplastique moulé, comprend un élément annulaire (54), un segment partiel pivotant (56) et une charnière monobloc (58) joignant l'élément annulaire (54) et le segment partiel (56). L'élément annulaire (54), sensiblement continu à la périphérie, est normalement fixé sur le bord formé du fond (52) de la boîte et présente une embase supérieure (62) dans laquelle ne s'engagent pas tous les côtés du bord formé (46) du couvercle (32) quand la boîte est fermée, laissant libre le côté charnière dudit bord formé. Le segment partiel pivotant est solidement accroché sur au moins le côté charnière du bord formé du couvercle. La charnière est positionnée de façon que la boîte soit fermée à l'état normal et que le couvercle pivote autour de la charnière afin de permettre l'ouverture de la boîte.
