Description

  The present invention relates to a container for storing seasonings.

  Containers that store foods or powdery seasonings such as sugar and salt are required to be sealed in order to maintain the quality of food, etc. Generally, a configuration in which the sealing material is arranged. However, if it is intended to ensure sealing, the container body and the lid are tightly fitted, and there is a problem that it is difficult to open the finger on the lid by sliding.

In consideration of this point, a product has been proposed in which a lid is pivotally attached to a container body and a lever is pushed to open. For example, the container shown in FIG. 1 is typical, and the lid 2 pivotally attached to the base end (hand side) of the container body 1 is opened by one touch by holding the handle 3 and pushing down the lever 2. However, in this configuration, the lever 4 must be continuously pressed down in order to maintain the open state when the stored item is taken out, and the lid body 2 stands up and opens, so the lid body 2 is open. There were inconveniences such as interfering with the removal operation.
In order to cope with this point, the following proposals have been conventionally made.
