The top surface of the lid preferably has graphic indicia molded therein for enhancing the aesthetic qualities of the footlocker, and may include an area operatively adapted to receive a hot-stamped indicia. The front surface of the bin may also have an area operatively adapted to receive a hot-stamped indicia.
La présente invention a pour objet une caisse de rangement en plastique moulé comportant une caisse et un couvercle articulé à la caisse pour renfermer le contenu de la caisse. Deux mécanismes de verrouillage en plastique sont utilisés pour retenir le couvercle en position fermée au-dessus de la caisse. Chacun des mécanismes de verrouillage comporte une plaquette dont la surface porte des empreintes moulées. Pour assurer le verrouillage du couvercle en position fermée, et protéger ainsi le contenu de la caisse, l'invention proposée comporte, de préférence, un moraillon. Un compas pour couvercle relevant, monté entre le couvercle et la caisse de rangement, maintient le couvercle dans n'importe quelle position d'ouverture. La caisse comporte une pluralité de pieds moulés en continu et la surface supérieure du couvercle comporte une pluralité de zones de renfoncement destinées à recevoir le piétement d'autres caisses de rangement aux fins d'empilement. La surface supérieure du couvercle comporte, préférablement, des empreintes moulées destinées à rehausser les qualités esthétiques de la caisse de rangement et peut comporter une zone destinée à recevoir un marquage à chaud.
