The pairs of closely adjacent, spaced jagged broken lines in the drawings form no part of the claimed design and the portions between such pairs of jagged, broken lines are broken away to disclose indeterminate length. The mesh material and other features that may be visible between the jagged lines and through the holes in the mesh have been removed for clarity.
The rims, fastener, hinges, and support feet shown in broken lines are illustrative and form no part of the claimed design. The lids of the second and fourth embodiments of the container are shown in a closed state and may be moved to an open state.
