The lid and the base are each formed with a curled rim for reinforcement and to facilitate pivotal connection of the base to the lid by tabs projecting from the base and wrapped around the lid rim. Windshields are pivotally connected to the base by tabs projecting from the windshields and wrapped around the rim at the side walls of the base.
