Patent ID: 7287660

Claim:
A two-compartment container comprising a lid portion and a base portion, said lid portion being hingedly connected to said base portion by a hinge, thereby being openable and closable relative to said base portion in the manner of a clamshell, said base portion having a base partition extending across said base portion in a direction substantially transverse to said hinge and dividing said base portion into a first compartment and a second compartment, said base portion further having a locking flap opposite to said hinge, said base partition extending from said hinge to said locking flap, and said lid portion having a lid partition extending across said lid portion in a direction substantially transverse to said hinge, said lid partition extending from said hinge toward a face of said lid portion opposite to said hinge and being aligned with said base partition so as to abut against said base partition when said two-compartment container is closed, said lid partition being separated from said face of said lid portion opposite to said hinge by a gap, said locking flap on said base portion fitting into said gap in said lid portion when said lid portion is closed onto said base portion, wherein said locking flap comprises a wedge, said wedge being aligned with said gap in said lid portion, so that said wedge fits tightly in said gap when said locking flap fits into said gap in said lid portion when said lid portion is closed onto said base portion, said wedge thereby isolating said first compartment from said second compartment, said locking flap and said face of said lid portion together having cooperative means for maintaining said two-compartment container in a closed condition.
