<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an opening/closing mechanism for lids that are capable of being opened and closed in a parallel posture with respect to an opening, without making the mechanism large. <P>SOLUTION: On a container body proper 10, links 34 are turnably supported via the medium of first hinge shafts 41, and a lid body 20 is turnably supported, via the medium of second hinge shafts 42 provided parallel to the first hinge shafts 41, at a position farther to the turning side from the first hinge shafts 41. The lid body 20 is biassed, between the lid body 20 and the link 34, in a direction in which the lid body 20 moves away from the link 34 with the second hinge shafts 42 as a fulcrum, while a coil springs 60 are interposed so as for the lid body 20 to come in an attitude parallel to the receiving surface 13 of the container body proper 10, as the lid body 20 comes near the receiving surface 13. The lid body 20 is adjusted, while being closed, to become horizontal by means of the coil spring 60; and when the lid body 20 is opened with the turning side end working as a power point, the bracket 23 of the lid body 20 is prevented from colliding with the link 34 by means of the coil spring 60. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
