Abstract
A lid body is divided, on its front side, into three parts, that is, a pair of first movable parts in the form of curved plates on both sides of the body and a second movable part in the form of a flat plate in the middle of the body. A container body is provided with a front engagement member which is displaceable in front and in the rear of the body . The first movable parts have front engagement members formed at their front ends to be engageable with the front engagement member . While, the second movable part has a disengagement member formed at the front ends. The first movable parts on elastic deformation are engaged with the front engagement member . When the second movable part is subjected to depression of its upper face at the front end so that the disengagement member causes the front engagement member to be displaced forward, the engagement of the front engagement member with the front engagement members is released. As a result, the first movable parts are separated from the container body due to their elastic restoration.
