Next, the wet tissue 41 is picked with a finger from the outlet 24 of the lid body 21 and pulled upward. Thereafter, the first wet tissue 41 can be removed from the container body 11 by continuously pulling the wet tissue 41. In this case, the upper half 41 a of the second wet tissue 41 is pulled by the lower half 41 b of the first wet tissue 41. Then, when the upper half 41a of the second wet tissue 41 is caught on the peripheral edge 24a of the outlet 24, the second wet tissue 41 stops.
[0030]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, by pressing the vertical plate 90 in the horizontal direction, the vertical plate 90 bends without bending the outer frame 33, so that the engagement protrusion provided on the vertical plate 90. The engagement between 79 and the locking piece 32 of the opening / closing lid 23 can be released directly and reliably.
[0031]
