By locking, the lid body 3 is held in a closed state,
By detaching, the lid body 3 can be opened.

The operating body 6 has a pair of vertical shafts 8 formed at its upper and lower portions, which are removably and rotatably fitted into the bearing portion 12, and the operating body 6 is rotatable around the vertical shafts 8. be. This vertical shaft 8 may be formed separately and penetrate through the operating body 6.

The left and right sides of the vertical axis 8 at the top of the operating body 6 are push-up surfaces 14 that are arcuate in side view, and the lid body 3 in the closed state
By pushing one of the left and right ends of the operating body 6 toward the container body 2 side, the pushing-up surface 14 pushes up the engaged portion 15 and pushes up the engaged portion 15. The lid body 3 can be pushed up against the resistance caused by the locking between the locking part 1 and the locking part 9, and the engaged part 15 has a forwardly projecting shape and a cover. The locking portion 11 is formed in a concave shape at the front.

At the bottom of the operating body 6, engaging portions 16 are provided that project downwardly on the left and right sides of the vertical shaft 8, and are capable of engaging with the front portion of the drawer body 7.

The drawer body 7 has a guide groove 17 on the upper inner surface of the left and right side walls 7a, and is fitted with a pair of left and right guide rails 18 protruding from the lower surface of the container body 2, so that it can freely slide in the front and rear direction. Supported. A small protrusion 19 is formed on the front part of the guide rail 18, and a retaining protrusion 20 is formed in the guide groove 17 to prevent the drawer body 7 from coming out in cooperation with the small protrusion 19, and to set the drawer body closed position. A positioning protrusion 21 is formed.

When the drawer body 7 is in the closed position, its front wall 7
The front surface of b is substantially flush with the front surfaces of the container body 2 and the operating body 6, and easy movement is prevented by the protrusions 19 and 21. By pulling the drawer body 7, the positioning protrusion 21 is aligned with the small protrusion 19. When moved forward, the drawer body 7 can freely slide back and forth by the distance between the protrusions 20 and 21. The drawer body 7 can be separated from the container body 2 by climbing over the small protrusion 19 and moving the retaining protrusion 20 forward.

When the drawer body 7 is in the closed state, the inner surface of the front wall 7b is in contact with the engagement part 16 and serves as an engaged part 22, and when the right end of the operating body 6 is pushed to push up the lid body 3, as shown in FIG. When rotated in the direction of arrow A, the left engaging portion 16 moves forward, contrary to the backward movement of the right pushing surface 14, and pushes out the drawer body 7. The amount by which the drawer body 7 is pushed out is the distance by which the positioning protrusion 21 overcomes the small protrusion 19, and if it is pulled out by that amount, the drawer body 7 can be held between fingers and opened/closed.
