  • Publication number: 20160060001
    Abstract: A container includes a container body which is cylindrical and includes an opening portion, the container body having a container body rib on at least a portion of an outer peripheral surface of the opening portion, and a lid member coupled to the container body by a hinge such that the lid member is openable and closable relative to the opening portion of the container body. The lid member has a sidewall positioned such that the lid member externally contacts the opening portion when the lid member is closed. The sidewall has an inner side surface having a lid rib which the container body rib contacts and slides over in opening or closing the lid member. The container body and the lid member are structured such that in closing the lid member, before the container body rib contacts and slides over the lid rib, no part of the opening portion other than the container body rib comes into contact with the lid member.
