It's summery.

The present invention aims to provide such a container in which the container body and the lid are always engaged even during use, and the lid can be opened and closed with respect to the container body with a simple operation.

The present invention consists of a container body whose planar shape is approximately elliptical;
A container consisting of a lid of the same shape that fits on this is provided,
The container body and the lid are molded separately, and opposing pieces are provided at each corner of the ellipse, and a protrusion and a hole are rotatably engaged with these pieces. The container is characterized in that the lid can be opened and closed by rotating in the horizontal direction.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. 1 in Figures 1 to 4
2 is a container body, 2 is a lid thereof, 3 is a piece provided on the container body 1, and 4 is a piece provided on the lid 2.
The piece 3 extends horizontally on a part of the edge 5 of the container body 1 in the form of a tongue. Similarly, the piece 4 is also connected to the lid 2.
A tongue-shaped extension is provided on a part of the edge 6 of the holder at a position corresponding to the piece 3. Each of the pieces 3 and 4 can be provided around the corners of the container body 1 and the lid 2. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the piece 3 of the container body 1 is provided with a protrusion 8, and the piece 4 of the lid 2 is provided with a hole 9.
