TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a container in which a lid can be opened and closed from either side.

2. Description of the Related Art A container provided with a lid is of a type in which the lid is hinged at one side thereof to the container body and can be opened and closed. This type of container is generally designed such that when the lid is closed, it is fastened, fastened or attached with a stopper provided on the other side so that it can be attached or detached. Can only be opened from.

There is also a type in which removable stoppers are provided on both left and right sides of the lid so that the lid can be removed from the container body. In this container, the stoppers on the left and right sides generally have to be attached and detached to open and close the lid.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention The present invention provides a container that can be opened and closed from either the left or right side and the other side can be opened and closed by operating one of the stoppers provided on the left and right sides. To do this is a technical issue.

Therefore, the present invention provides a container comprising a case main body, a lid for covering the main body, and fasteners for detachably attaching the lid to the case main body on both sides of the container. A second stop comprising an upper stopper and a lower stopper that are rotatably connected by a pin, and one of the upper stopper and the lower stopper is provided on the lid or the case body at a position different from the pin. The pin is rotatably supported by the pin and the other part is provided with a locking part for locking the locked part of the case body or the cover so as to be disengageable.

Here, the locked portion may be, for example, a pin or a protrusion, and the locking portion may be a hook-shaped portion that engages with the pin or the protrusion.

The locking by the locking portion is usually performed only by one of the upper and lower stoppers, but may be performed by both the upper and lower stoppers. When it is performed up and down, the locking portion and the locked portion may be the same in the upper and lower portions, or may be different.

It is desirable to freeze the lid on the case body with a hinge so that the lid does not come off from the fastener when the lid is opened and the lid becomes unstable. In this case, in order to allow the lid to be removed from the case main body, it is necessary to make a hole into which the pin constituting the hinge portion fits into a groove so that the pin can come out of the groove.

Action FIGS. 1A to 1C show an example of the fastener according to the present invention.
Upper stopper c provided with a hook-shaped engaging portion b that engages with the engaged portion a
And a lower stopper e rotatably connected to the upper stopper c by a first pin d, and one end of the lower stopper e is pivotally supported by a second pin f on a lid or a container body. Has been done.

When the lower stopper e is pushed down from the state shown in FIG. 1A, the upper stopper c is also lowered and the locking portion b is locked to the locked portion a. When the lower stopper e is further pushed down, the lower stopper e pushes down the upper stopper c and the locked portion a by the action of the lever with the second pin f as a fulcrum (first 1B
Figure). Then, the lid is locked in the closed state (see FIG. 3). When the lower stopper e is pushed down, the upper stopper c rises and the locking portion b can be disengaged from the locked portion a.

In the state shown in FIG. 1B, the upper stopper c can rotate around the second pin d. That is, the upper stopper c can be pivoted as shown in FIG. 1C by using the second pin d as a hinge to open the lid.

If the lid is hinged to the case body,
When the lid is opened, the lid rotates about the hinge as a fulcrum and is stably maintained in the opened state. When removing the lid from the case body, the locking portion b is removed from the locked portion a, and then the pin is pulled out from the groove.

FIGS. 2A to 2C show another example of the fastener. In this case, when the lower stopper h is pushed up with the pin i as a fulcrum from the state of FIG. 2A, the upper stopper g is lowered and Push up the locking part a (2B
Figure). Then lock the lid closed. In this case as well, the pin j functions as a hinge, and the upper stopper g can rotate around the pin j as shown in FIG. 2C.
