Abstract: The container is of the type including two pivoting parts, such as a body 1 and a lid 2 which are joined to one another by a swivel joint and which are respectively integrally connected with a cap 3 and a pivot pin 8 constrained to interlock in order to determine a pivoting assembly held in place by an element 11 connected on top of said assembly. It is characterized in that the two pivoting parts 1 and 2 have uninterrupted contours of their outer edges 1a and 2a and in that the connected element 11 is provided with at least one internal opening 20-21 enabling the passage of arms 9 and 10 which are integrally connected with the pivot pin 8 and with the lid 2, at a substantial distance x from its outer edge 2a.
