Abstract: A storage container assembly includes a container and a lid. The lid includes a top lid, a button, a gasket, a gasket pusher, and an arm. The button is moveable in a first axial direction between a projected position in which a top surface of the button is offset from an upper surface of the lid and a depressed position in which the top surface of the button is nearer to the upper surface. The gasket is moveable between a contracted state and an expanded state. The gasket pusher is moveable in a second axial direction, which is transverse to the first axial direction, and pushes the gasket. The arm operatively connects the button with the gasket pusher. Movement of the button from the projected position toward the depressed position results in pivotal movement of the arm and moves the gasket pusher in the second axial direction.

Abstract: A mobile phone 10 comprises a display 14, a touch panel 16 provided on the display 14, etc., and a screen lock state that a performance of a predetermined function (mail function or the like) based on a touch operation is invalidated is set. The screen lock state is set if an end key 22b is operated and the display 14 is turned off, for example. Then, the user can cancel the screen lock state by performing a canceling operation. In a case where the display 14 is turned off through an operation of a turn-off key (70), the display 14 is temporarily turned off. In such a case, it is possible for the user to restore the displaying of the display 14 to an original state thereof by operating the end key 22b or the like without canceling operation.
