Each is provided. Small projections 33, 33 are provided near the rear plate 32 on the outer surfaces of both side plates 31, 31 of the drawer container 3, and are slidably fitted into the guide grooves 25, respectively. The drawer container 3 is formed at a dead end near the wall portion 23, so that the drawer container 3 is configured to be slidable in the direction of the front wall portion 23 of the container body 2 while being prevented from coming off.

The outer surface 34a of the front plate 34 of the drawer container 3 is formed to be flush with the outer surface 23a of the front wall 23 of the container main body 2 in the storage position of the drawer container 3, and furthermore, the outer surface 34a of the front plate 34 of the drawer container 3 is flush with the outer surface 23a of the front wall 23 of the container body 2. An opening 34b is provided in the opening 34b. At both lower side positions of the opening 34b, that is, at the lower part of both wall surfaces forming the opening 34b of the front plate 34, there are protruding shafts 35, 3 facing each other.
5 is provided.

Reference number 4 is a rotating member whose free end is rotatably attached to the lid body 1 side with the protruding shafts 35, 35 as rotation centers, and this rotating member 4 is attached to the opening 34b as shown in the figure. It is formed into a rectangular plate shape that can be closed, and shaft holes 41, 41 are provided on both sides of the proximal end to fit into the projection shafts 35, 35, respectively. Dimension h from the base end to the free end of the rotating member 4
The pivoting member 4 is attached to the lid 1 as shown in FIG.
The free end surface 4 of the rotating member 4 in the state of being rotated to the side.
It is formed in such a dimension that a is flush with the surface 1a of the lid body 1. A rectangular hole 4 is provided in the center of the rotating member 4.
2 is formed, and by this rectangular hole 42, an upper edge piece a and both side edge pieces b, b, which are continuous in a U-shape and have approximately equal wall thickness, are formed on the free end side and both side sides of the rotating member 4. A hook 43 is formed on the inner surface of the upper edge piece a.

A hook 13 that engages with a hook 43 of the rotating member 4 is provided on the surface 1a of the lid 1 near the free end surface 11. Hook 1 of this lid body 1
3, there is a notch in which the upper edge piece a and both side edge pieces b, b portions of the rotating member 4 fit so that the hook 13 and the hook 43 of the rotating member 4 can engage with each other. c is formed, and the hook 13 of the lid is provided one step below the surface 1a of the lid by the thickness α of the upper edge piece a. Further, the front wall portion 23 of the container body 2 is also provided with notch grooves d, d on its outer surface, into which the side edge pieces b, b portions of the rotating member 4 fit. The outer surface of the rotating member 4 is

It is formed to be flush with the outer surface 34a of No. 4. The reference numeral 5 indicates a torsion spring that is incorporated into the hinge A and biases the lid 1 in the opening direction, and the reference numeral 36 indicates a ventilation hole.

In order to change the container configured as described above from the closed state shown in Figure 1 to the open state shown in Figure 2, hold the container with one hand and rotate it with the thumb and index finger of the other hand. Remove the engagement between the hooks 13 and 43 by operating the member 4 so that its free end rotates outward (in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 1), and then holding the rotating member 4 with your fingertips. In this state, pull it toward you and pull out the drawer container 3 as shown in FIG. At this time, since the lid 1 is openable, the lid 1 is rotated in the opening direction by the action of the torsion spring 5, and is in the open state.

According to the embodiment, the rotating member 4 functions as a knob member as it is after the hooks are disengaged from each other, so that the drawer container 3 can be pulled out continuously and easily, and at the same time, the lid body 1 can also be opened.

On the other hand, with the lid in the closed position and the drawer container in the storage position, rotate the rotating member 4 toward the lid, and
When 3 and 43 are engaged, the rotating member 4
has the function of temporarily fixing the container body 2, the lid 1, and the drawer container 3 together. Moreover, in this state, the free end of the lid 1 is pressed against the container body 2 by the hook 13 of the rotating member 4 and the portion of the upper edge piece a where the hook 13 is provided. The lid 1 will not open unless the hooks are disengaged from each other, and therefore the lid 1 will not open unnecessarily as in the conventional case.

In the embodiment, the torsion spring 5 that biases the lid body 1 in the opening direction is incorporated, but it is not necessary to provide this torsion spring 5. However, when the torsion spring 5 is provided, there is an advantage that the opening operation of the lid body 1 can be made easier or unnecessary.

"Effects of the Invention" As explained above, the multi-stage compact container according to the present invention includes a rotating member whose free end is rotatable toward the lid body on the front plate of the drawer container, and this rotating member has the following features: Since the hook is provided to engage the hook provided on the free end of the lid in the storage position of the drawer container and the closed position of the lid, the hook of the rotating member can be engaged with the hook of the lid. In this state, the rotating member has the effect of integrally and reliably temporarily fixing the container body, the lid, and the drawer container, and also separates the hook of the rotating member from the hook of the lid. When removed, this rotary member functions as a knob for pulling out the drawer container, and has the effect that the drawer operation can be performed on the container in a continuous manner subsequent to the release operation of the hook.

In particular, the effect of the rotating member functioning as a knob becomes more pronounced as the container as a whole becomes thinner.
