A first guide groove, a second guide groove parallel to the first guide groove at an appropriate interval in the vertical direction, and a connection between the first guide groove and the second guide groove. A first connecting groove for shifting the hinge shaft, and guiding the rotation of the guide pin when the cover swings about the hinge shaft as a fulcrum, and a first guiding groove and a second guiding groove. The present invention provides a container with a hinge lid, which is constituted by a second connection groove to be connected.

Action The container of the present invention configured as described above can be opened in the same manner as a normal container with the hinge axis as a fulcrum as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. When pushed relatively inward, the hinge shaft and the guide pin slide and move in the first guide groove, and as shown in FIG. 2, toward the rear side of the lid with the rear end of the container body closed. It can protrude and open only the back side of the container. Also, as shown in FIG. 1, when the lid is opened, the lid is slightly raised and pushed down, and when the lid is turned down, the hinge shaft and the guide pin are guided into the first and second connection grooves, respectively. And shift to the second guide groove, 180 °
When the lid or the container main body is moved along the lower surface of the container main body in a state where the lid is turned over, as shown in FIG. 3, both are vertically overlapped so that the lid in the fully opened state does not become an obstacle, The area occupied by the entire container is reduced.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems as described above.

Further, in the present invention, an opening is provided by opening the upper end of the front end of the box-shaped container main body, and a step portion extending in the depth direction is formed on the inner side surface of the container main body following the opening. An inner box having a height commensurate with the opening and supported on both sides of the step portion is slidably fitted in the front-rear direction. The upper end of the inner box, which is provided with a hooking edge for hooking from the back side, can be used in two steps in the container body, and when the front end of the container body is pushed in, as shown in FIG. While holding the upper end of the box at the back edge of the back of the closed lid, only the container body protrudes from the rear side in a drawer-like manner, and the contents can be taken in and out. Can be expanded.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, A is a box-shaped container body, B is a lid having a front part b only at the front end (left side in the figure) serving as a clue for opening and closing, and having a substantially U-shaped cross section downward, and C is a container body A. Is an inner box that is detachably fitted from above.

1 is the left and right inner side surfaces of the lid B, 2 is the left and right outer side surfaces of the container body A, 3 is the lid B as shown in FIG.
The hinge shaft 4 is provided at the rear end of the inner surface 1 of the container and rotatably connected to the outer surface 2 of the container body A so as to open and close the lid B in a swing shape. The guide pins are arranged side by side at the same height at the rear of the hinge shaft 3 with an interval of.

The shaft hole 5 for bearing the hinge shaft 3 is horizontally extended along the inner surface 1 of the lid B and the outer surface 2 of the container body A, which are rubbed against each other as shown in the drawing. 2, a first guide groove 6 for slidably fitting the guide pin 4 together with the hinge shaft 3; A second guiding groove 7 provided on the side surface 2 and the first and second guiding grooves 6 and 7;
And a first connecting groove 8 for transferring the hinge shaft 3 and guiding the rotation of the guide pin 4 when the lid B swings about the hinge shaft 3 when opening and closing. The first guide groove 6 and the second guide groove 7 are connected to each other, and the guide pin 4 is shifted to the second connection groove 9.

The inner box C has an opening 10 formed by opening the upper front end of the container body A, and a step 11 extending in the depth direction is formed on the inner surface of the container body A following the opening 10. A, having a height commensurate with the opening 10, supporting the step 11 on both sides of the lower edge, slidably fitting in the front-rear direction, and the rear surface of the rear end of the lid B. It is provided so as to be hooked from the rear side in the container body A by a hanging edge 12 hanging down from the container. In the drawing, 13 is a mirror provided on the back surface of the lid B, and 14 is a groove for mounting the hinge shaft 3 and the guide pin 4.

When the front portion b of the lid B is pushed up from the closed state as shown in FIG. 2 in the above-described container, the hinge shaft 3 fitted in the first guide groove 6 is used as a fulcrum. As shown by the imaginary line in the figure, it opens like a normal hinge lid. At the time of opening / closing with the hinge shaft 3 as a fulcrum, the guide pin 4 reciprocates in the arc-shaped portion forming the second connecting groove 9 as indicated by the imaginary arrow, and does not hinder opening / closing of the lid B. When the front end portion of the container body A is pushed in the depth direction from the closed state, the first guide groove 6, the hinge shaft 3, and the guide pin 4 slide relative to each other, so that the cover B is closed. By sliding in a drawer shape from the rear side, the rear half of the container main body A protrudes, and the contents can be taken in and out (see FIG. 3). Further, after the lid B is opened in a swing shape as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 2 and then pushed down while standing up near a vertical state, the hinge shaft 3 descends in the first connection groove 8. Then, since the guide pin 4 reaches the inside of the second guide groove 7, the hinge pin 3 is further moved down to the upper end of the lid B so that the guide pin 4 is at the front and the hinge shaft 3 is also in the second guide groove 7.
Move in. By pulling the lid B that has fallen in the supine direction while pulling the lid B toward the second guide groove 7 toward the front side, the lid B rotates 180 ° from the closed state and overlaps with the back side of the container body A at an appropriate interval. As a result, the area occupied by the lid B when opened is made as small as possible, and the upper surface of the container body A is fully opened (see FIG. 4).

In the embodiment shown in the drawings, a hinge shaft and a guide pin are provided on the inner surface side of the lid, but as an embodiment of the present invention, they are provided on the container body side and the inner surface side of the lid is provided. In some cases, first and second guiding grooves and first and second connecting grooves are provided as shaft holes.
