Thereby, it is possible to prevent the inadvertent opening operation of the inadvertent lead 3, and the lid-end property of the package 1 can be improved. That is, it is possible to provide the package 1 having excellent lid-end property.

5C, when the force is applied in the opening direction of the lid 3 so as to open the package 1 in accordance with the user's will, the protruding tip 37 of the lid 3 is inserted into the slit- The lid 3 is prevented from being caught by the slope locking levers 27 by engaging the slope 27 from the inner side to the outer side. Thereby, the lid 3 can freely turn in the opening direction, and the user can open the lid 3.

As described above, according to the package 1 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to provide the lid 3 with excellent lid property and the lock mechanism formed on each of the front side edges of the lid 3 and the outer box 2 The projecting tip 37 and the slope-locking projection 27 are combined. In this way, on the side of the outer box 2, as a display space such as an advertisement displaying advertisements, advertisements, and other information related to a product or a manufacturer among the front wall 21 and the side wall 23, The projecting area of the package 1 and the vicinity of the center of the front wall 31 and the side wall 33 on the side of the lead 3 do not form the engaging portion and therefore the display space of the package 1 can be sufficiently secured .

The locking mechanism is constituted by a combination of the projecting tip 37 formed on the front side edge portion 36 of the lid 3 and the slant engagement edge 27 formed on the front side edge portion 26 of the outer box 2, It is possible to appeal to consumers' desire to purchase by adopting a novel and novel locking method which is not available in the past. As a result, the commercial value of the package 1 or the product containing the water-receiving material can be further enhanced. Further, according to the lock mechanism employed by the package 1, since it is not necessary to form a cutout or a lug or the like in the inner frame as a conventional latching portion, the strength and rigidity of the package 1 can be avoided .

As described above, according to the package 1 according to the present embodiment, a hinge lead package excellent in the lid-end property is provided without causing defects such as insufficient display space for advertisements or the like and strength and rigidity of the package It is possible.

Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, appropriate changes can be made in the above-described embodiments within the scope not departing from the gist of the present invention. For example, as a modified example of the package 1, the configuration of the lock mechanism may be changed. In other words, the lock mechanism may be configured by a combination of the engaging portion and the engaging portion provided on the front side edge portions of the lead 3 and the outer box 2, But is not limited to a combination of slope-hanging stones. It is not always necessary to form the engagement portion on the lead 3 side at the lower end of the front side edge portion 36 and the engagement portion at the side of the outer box 2 at the upper end of the front side edge portion 26, If not, the arrangement position may be changed.
