Container for wetted tissues

摘要

A container for wetted tissues comprises a container body (1), a stationary lid member (21) and a movable lid member (23 each molded from a suitable synthetic resin material. The stationary lid member (21) fits on the container body (11) and the movable lid member (23) is hinged to the stationary lid member (21) so as to cover an opening (24) formed substantially in a central zone (27) of the stationary lid member (21) through which the wetted tissues will be picked out. An upper surface of the stationary lid member (21) or an inner surface of the movable lid member (23) is provided with an elastic strip (50) fixed across the hinged portion. As the movable lid member (23) is closed, the elastic strip (50) is curved within a space defined between the inner surface of the movable lid member (23) and the upper surface of the stationary lid member (21) and thereby charged with an elastic energy biasing the movable lid member (23) to be opened. A locking projection (32) is provided between a free end of the movable lid member (23) and a front edge of the stationary lid (21), so that they can be detachably engaged with each other and releasable by elastically deformable depressor means (52) on the upper surface of the lid member (21).
