Locking protrusions 30 that are locked to the locking ribs 29 are respectively provided on the outer surfaces facing back in the width direction along the periphery of the portion 13. Also by such an opening start direction restricting means 16 ′, the locking protrusion 30 protruding from the outer surface of the fitting protrusion 19 is applied to the inner surface of the recess 18 facing in the width direction along the periphery of the main body 13. While having the same operational effects as described above while being in contact with each other, and having a configuration capable of locking the locking protrusion 30 on the locking rib 29, the protrusion 19 is fitted into the U-shaped wall 27. In this way, an effect of suppressing the opening from the wrong opening direction can be obtained, and an operation effect that the operation direction is restricted at the initial opening is obtained.
なお、本発明は上記実施形態に限定されることなく種々の変更が可能である。例えば、本発明のヒンジ蓋付き容器は、略４角形の外周断面形状を備える容器である必要は必ずしも無く、円形の外周断面形状等、その他の種々の形状を備える容器であっても良い。また、薄肉ヒンジ部の本来の開放方向を認識し難い容器である必要は必ずしも無く、薄肉ヒンジ部による開放方向が容易に判別可能な容器であっても、誤った方向に蓋が開放される場合もあることから、本発明のヒンジ蓋付き容器を好ましく採用することができる。さらに、薄肉ヒンジ部はクリアテックヒンジによるものである必要は必ずしもなく、容器に収容される収容物は、液体洗剤以外のその他の種々の内容物であっても良い。さらに、蓋は、キャップを介することなく上部が閉塞された容器本体を本体部として当該容器本体に直接連結されるものであっても良い。さらにまた、方形枡状突起物を本体部に設け、嵌込み突起物を蓋に設けても良い。 The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made. For example, the container with a hinge lid of the present invention does not necessarily need to be a container having a substantially rectangular outer peripheral cross-sectional shape, and may be a container having other various shapes such as a circular outer peripheral cross-sectional shape. In addition, it is not always necessary for the container to be difficult to recognize the original opening direction of the thin hinge part, and even if the opening direction by the thin hinge part can be easily distinguished, the lid is opened in the wrong direction. Therefore, the hinge-lid container of the present invention can be preferably used. Further, the thin hinge portion does not necessarily need to be a clear tech hinge, and the contents accommodated in the container may be various other contents other than the liquid detergent. Furthermore, the lid may be directly connected to the container body with the container body closed at the top without using a cap as a body part. Furthermore, a square hook-shaped protrusion may be provided on the main body, and a fitting protrusion may be provided on the lid.
