Abstract: A snap action container includes: a cover plate and a container body; wherein the cover plate is rotatably connected to the container body by a rotation shaft, and covered on the container body; an elastomer receiving chamber is arranged at a position, corresponding to the rotation shaft, on the container body, an elastomer being inclinedly disposed in the elastomer receiving chamber, and one end of the elastomer being abutted against the rotation shaft; and when the cover plate is covered on the container body, the cover plate drives the rotation shaft to rotate, such that the rotation shaft presses against the elastomer to cause the elastomer to be subjected to elastic deformation.
