Abstract
There is provided a receptacle comprising a box body which is formed with right and left engagement parts, and a lid body which is formed with right and left engaged parts which engage with the right and left engagement parts of the box body so that an engagement of engagement parts and engaged parts is freely released. When the right and left engagement parts both engage with the right and left engaged parts, the lid body is kept at a state of being closed. When the left engagement part engages with the left engaged part and the engagement of the right engagement part with the right engaged part is released, the lid body is rotatable on the axis of the engaged left parts and is opened from the right-hand side. When the right engagement part engages with the right engaged part and the engagement of the left engagement part with the left engaged part is released, the lid body is rotatable on the axis of the engaged right parts and is opened from the left-hand side.
