  • Patent number: 4778049
    Abstract: A container for carrying small articles, the container including a pivotable top lid that is manually pivotable from a closed position to an open position. The container includes an inner container that is slidably carried within an outer container, the inner container having an open top. The lid of the outer container carries a push button for releasing the lid for pivoting movement about a shaft carried within the container. The pivotable lid also includes a lid that is adapted to engage a side wall of the inner container so that as the pivotable lid is pivoted from a closed to an open position, the inner container is carried upwardly toward the opening in the outer container by the lip on the pivotable lid, thereby carrying the articles closer to the open top of the outer container to facilitate removal therefrom. The outer container can optionally be slidably carried in a container sleeve that includes structure to permit the sleeve to be securely mounted to a surface.
