A molded plastic pail and a snap-on closure having a flared skirt the bottom of which is manually engaged for removal purposes. A peripheral ring structure integral with the pail sidewall immediately underlies the skirt of the closure when in the sealing relationship with the pail thereby to block access to the skirt. However, a section of the rib structure essentially midway between the bail ears includes a break away panel connected to the rib structure by frangible webs and a living hinge so that it may be pivoted outwardly and downwardly away from the pail wall to afford access to a sufficient portion of the closure skirt to permit removal. The break away section thereafter serves as an integral handle to facilitate pouring from the container.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] An open top, molded plastic pail for use in combination with a snap-on closure of the type having a peripheral skirt comprising:an essentially cylindrical sidewall;a bottom;a peripheral ring structure on and integral with the sidewall and extending outwardly therefrom in adjacent, spaced parallel relationship to the top of the pail so as to immediately underlie and limit manual access to the closure skirt when in place on the pail; anda break out panel integral with the pail sidewall and having at least a first portion which is frangibly attached to the pail and a second portion which is permanently but hingedly attached to the pail so as to be partially separable from the pail wall and pivotally displaced away from the underlying relationship with the closure skirt to afford access to a portion of the closure skirt for removal purposes, the break out panel also having a central opening so that it may be operated as a handle.
