Abstract: The container-classifier comprises a container body (1) of relatively flat form for containing the articles; a cover (2) is hinged to the upper end of the body (1); the cover (2) and body (1) are hinged together in such a manner as to enable the cover (2) to rotate rearwards from the position (A) through an angle greater than 180 degrees so as to bring the cover (2) into a position (B) in which it rests on a support surface by way of its lower end and supports the body (1) in a stable inclined position, in which the open face of the body (1) is in view.
