Abstract:
1. A method of constructing a container, comprising: disposing a primary lid over a storage cavity defined by a bottom and a plurality of walls, the primary lid including a top surface that defines a dispenser portion through which items within the storage cavity may be dispensed; pivotally attaching a dispenser lid to the primary lid so that the dispenser lid pivots relative to the primary lid about a pivot axis, the dispenser lid having a closed position in which the dispenser lid is pivoted downwards relative to the primary lid to cover the dispenser portion and an open position in which the dispenser lid is pivoted upwards relative to the primary lid to expose the dispenser portion, the dispenser lid including a first biasing pin anchor and one of the dispenser lid and the primary lid having a second biasing pin anchor; connecting a first longitudinal end portion of a biasing pin to the first biasing pin anchor; and connecting a second longitudinal end portion of the biasing pin to the second biasing pin anchor, such that the biasing pin urges the dispenser lid towards the open position, a longitudinal axis of the biasing pin extending parallel to an imaginary line that extends perpendicular to the pivot axis of the dispenser lid.
